I think Julia Garner could have made a fantastic Frankie Raye, a different herald of Galactus than the Silver Surfer. Forcing the actress into a different role - effectively deleting Norrin Radd from the MCU before he could get there - feels like an unforced error.

Any amount of set-up would have been worth it just to have her call Jost a “nocturnal predator.”  The physical comedy of imitating an owl was just a bonus.

There was an old adage about a mouth writing checks... which I dare not type out in full, lest I be accused of body-shaming poor Lizzo.

Don’t promise something you have no intention of living up to.

Charlie Berens is a Wisconsin-centric stand-up comic (host of the “Manitowoc Minute” ...which I think is a podcast?). For Wisconsin celebrity, it’s a decent pull.

“I cannot binge watch a show I have already watched. That is some bullsh—.”

So you’re saying NY is getting smaller grocery stores, but keeping the Whole Foods prices?

McD’s discontinued their Chicken Selects (breaded tenders) after discontinuing the wraps.

While I’d have preferred to avoid the controversy, I’m just going to say it.

...or you could just add chocolate chips while you’re at it!
