Eh, you may be right. It's been a while since I've seen it. And your larger point that even three months is fast still stands.

They mention at a certain point that Amy Adams and company had been working on communication with the aliens for over three months by the time we're closing in on the end of the film.

"Sad!"

I'm from the Pacific Northwest, and I never thought that we had an accent. I still don't, honestly, but I read an article and took a test about regional accents, and apparently we have one. It still seems specious to me. All I can remember about pronunciations is that we say "egg" and "bag" as "ehg" and "behg". What's…

I only recently watched that movie, but her accent is the only thing that stuck with me. She has no Polish accent in the first segment, and then it appears in the later ones. What happened there?

I had basically just started listening to podcasts when that happened, and followed along with the NNF guys during it. That was my first experience of getting really emotional about these podcast people that I don't really know. It shocked me, at the time, how emotionally invested I had become without really realizing…

I tend to pick-and-choose which eps of CBB I listen to, so I'm not as up on it as everyone else. Which episode is this one on?

If you're liu kang for maturity, you won't find any here.

Studio execs have no new ideas, so they keep raiden existing properties.

Here's hoping that one also involves a Turkish prison!

In that final scene, weren't they recreating the erotic story about the ringing bells that Hideko an her aunt were seen reading at various points in the film?

Isn't it implied that that's why he eventually leaves? She told him that she had seen the future, and that Hannah would die, and he disagreed with her choice to have the child anyway.

It's called "Jumbo's," by Protomartyr.

Feelings on "Sky Captain"? I remember really liking it, but I haven't seen it in a long time. I get the impression its reputation isn't great.

I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I think it blew up because of the era in which it was released. In our current Golden Age of Television, prestige shows don't always get to be *fun*. Someone on one of the episode threads put it well when they said that it felt like a fun summer read that your middle school teacher…

That sandwich belongs in prison.

For years, I had only ever seen "Se7en" on basic cable, and that scene is rendered utterly incomprehensible as edited for television, for obvious reasons. It wasn't until I finally saw it on HBO or something that I realized why Leland Orser was freaking out.

I got a strong "X-Files" vibe about it. Instead of a paranormal skeptic, we get someone who's skeptical about technology.

I'm a journalist, too, and I'm sorry if you think we're unfit to be the subject of horror movies. We make much more believable protagonists than random people who just want to investigate spooky shit.

People are afraid of strangers and basements and Charles Fleischer, too. If we're saying that a movie being scary is the only thing it needs to qualify as a horror movie, then of course "Zodiac" counts.
