Someone answered with specifics, but the fries are objectively bad. It’s not a hot take. If they’re hot and you salt them, they’re fine with a burger. But they lack any stamina whatsoever. It’s got nothing to do with them being fresh-cut, either. But fresh is not always a flex.

I don’t think Five Guys’ fries are that great. I’d take fresh Culver’s over either, Five Guys over In-N-Out.

Yeah. I'm not sure Gunn would WANT to do a Superman movie, either. But I bet he'd be good at finding the right director.

More back up on the Bosch. When we had to get a new dishwasher it was the number one rec we got. We have been happy ever since. The racks are adjustable, there’s a special third rack for spoons on the top, and it CLEANS THE DISHES.

I think that’s In’n’Out’s downfall - refusal to use anything but fresh products. There’s very little (if any) quality loss from freezing blanched fries. It’s why McDonald’s fries are so good. They blanch them properly, freeze them, then they get cooked from that state.

For In/Out to properly fry from fresh would take a…

Got not much to add other than, yeah, finally! Detroit style pies are so good. I think another point in their favor is they are pretty easy to replicate. Traditional round pies aren’t exactly rocket science, but to really get the perfect crust, etc can be like chasing the wind.

It’s been jarring for my wife to watch some of it. She wondered if the whole show was to be about race, to which I think - in real life, Sam wouldn’t be able to ignore race. Why would it not be present in the show?

I’m mixed here. I love Sam wanting to be the Falcon and not being guilty into being Cap. And I think Bucky becoming Cap would be far, far better for Bucky than for Sam. But I also see the problem with a string of white guys filling the shoes.

I worked with a Hindu group at a camp facility. Every group like clock work would do meals at 8am, Noonish, 530ish. These folks did 8am, noonish, a 4pm tea with some snacks, and the main meal at 8pm.

No, it’s not.

The original TMNT is also pretty close to a tight 90 minutes. It delivers on action and its promise without taking forever. There’s not much wasted time in it, either, and there’s not a lot of headscratching edits. I wish more new movies could find a way to stop being so damn long.

The most unsettling mascots are easily the McNugget buddies. They are the epitome of the mascot-excited-to-be-consumed. They literally jump for joy into your favorite dipping sauce. Somewhere on the cutting room floor is the scene of them being consumed, their cry of pure ecstasy cut short by a young child’s teeth as…

Yeah - I get not wanting it thawed/refrozen more than once, but I’ve never noticed a loss in quality if I froze something and thawed it properly.

Truth! My mom taught me to watch the (8 week?) cycle at the grocery store. Staples go on sale pretty predictably, so buy a bunch of cheese and freeze it!

I got nostalgia tastebuds for canned peas, though. I freaking love them. 

If you take the bun away from a hot dog, you’re left with... a hot dog.

I kept hoping the secret force behind Westview was Arcade, just to really mess with us.

This is that movie. It’s full of stupid shit like that, which is why it’s so goddamn funny.

I think it was unintentional, but there was a zoom in on the house as if from the POV of the red wall, which I found very Raimi-esque as well - and who’s directing Dr. Strange?

The Black Cauldron is book two, but yeah to all the rest.
