I kind of agree with your theory but I massively disagree with you listing Orange County in the latter category. That to me seems like a perfect example of him being a hilarious side character.

I enjoyed that too. And I lol'd at the joke about Dick Cheney going through women's purses.

The section about John Lewis made my eyes well up from happiness. And probably sadness that it happened in the first place. But mostly happiness from Dave.

Don't worry, it's going to get warmer every year.

If you can find the vid (looks like the one above is blocked), make sure you watch it til the end so you can see the quotes from famous directors that they used. It was a tremendous finish.

All he'd have to do is point out a foreign country on a map.

There's never been a better match-up of text message contents and the perceived level of douche of an actor than "What the fuck bro?" and Miles Teller.

La La Land is like half a musical. West Side Story it ain't.

Oh yeah, I agree, incredibly moving and very darkly funny. I loved the end and how realistic it felt, that everything wasn't all perfectly tied up.

Not a twist, just the moment that reveals why he's broken. When he gets back from walking to the store to pick up more beer.

In Manchester By The Sea, when that moment happened (the moment that every review has to dance around), I felt like someone had placed a 50-lb weight right on my chest.

We have a schnauzer and he really does tremble during thunderstorms!

They're all wrong. It happens.

Curly fries below crinkle cut fries? Surely you jest. Or you're 4 years old.

Chick-fil-a is the most adult fast food, I think. I get that sandwich more often than I'd care to admit, but I never feel half as bad about it as when I get something from Arby's.

If they had Five Guys on the west coast, everyone would stop talking so much about In N Out. YEAH I SAID IT

Look out, here I come again and I'm bringing my friends.

There are episodes of this pod that I start and I think "I have absolutely zero interest in the subject of this ep" and I'll be damned if I haven't either been totally sucked in, or at the worst, found something incredibly interesting about the subject every single time.

Good luck finding a mall.

I agree with you on the plot detail. Usually I enjoy films more the less they spoonfeed me, but I think Nichols actually went too far with this approach. Being dropped into the middle of this story and having very few details thrown our way throughout essentially robbed the whole thing of emotional weight in the…
