I guess DaBaby’s apology has been *Strong Bad Voice* DA-LETED!

*klaxon sound*

“Interest rates fluctuate...”

It’s out of print, but you can find used copies of the Steve Coogan collection that BBC America put out on region 1 DVD about 10 years ago on Amazon for fairly cheap. It’s got all the Partridge stuff (minus the Day Today), and a bunch of his other one-off shows.

“Is she allergic to fire?” was an amazing line, and I’m surprised it didn’t get a mention, but maybe the reviewer didn’t like that it made fun of Paula, Patron Saint of the White Lotus.

Well, from the reviews I’ve read, the movie stops just short of blaming her for his suicide. 

Not sure why she’s changing her mind; I’m told Morgan Neville has an audio recording of Ottavia giving express permission to use the AI to recreate his voice. Allow me to play it for you. 

“YES. YOU. CAN. USE. HIS. VOICE.” *audible clicking sounds between each word*

Looking forward to seeing some more of my man Greg the Motherfuckin’ Egg. 

The possibility has occured to me; the reality, however, is that with these 9 and 10 year + vets, they’re not helping the new cast members transition - they’re basically just hogging the airtime. Can you point to a sketch where Kenan gave Punkie Johnson or Andrew Dismukes a boost? Or Cecily Strong doing a two-hander…

They need some of the veterans to actually leave the show at some point; as of now the only ones leaving are the featured players who are hired, given no airtime apart from a couple “Update” appearances and roles as “Cop #2", and are quietly shuffled out of sight at the end of the season (Brooks Whelan, we mourn you.)

Jay and Silent Bob were supposed to be straight? 

Mallrats did have a punk/ska cover of Build Me Up Buttercup, didn’t it? And if I recall, the joke in Mallrats was going to be that Jay and/or Silent Bob was masturbating and it shot into Joey Lauren Adams’ hair, which is pretty different and slightly harder to justify.

Not likely to get as much attention, but the actress who played Umma went all in on backing Simu Liu up on twitter yesterday - she admittedly has trouble sequencing a thread but if you click on her replies she goes into a lot more detail on the troubles with the final season (and some of the seasons prior).  

You don’t think Ins Choi ever gave Simu Liu notes on how to read his dialogue/act out a certain scene? 

My takeaway from all that I’ve read about this is that Ins Choi had his vision of the show and the characters, didn’t seem the least bit interested in hearing anyone else’s ideas, and Liu seemed to increasingly resent that, understandably. Who knows if his ideas for his character were any good, though (Jung should be…

Also, “Having to get emergency dental surgery the day you’re supposed to appear in a TV reunion special for a show that filmed when you were having well-documented substance abuse problems, causing you to slur your words and making people think you relapsed” is a CURB plotline, not a FRIENDS one. Come on, writers!…

They were pretty open about the fact that this was just a tie-in with the show coming to HBO Max, weren’t they? I thought that was pretty well-established. It just got delayed by a year because of COVID.

Give me Maudlin’s Eleven any day. Skip Bittman and the Harmonica Gang over any of these shmoes.

That was way back at the end of March of this year. It’s been six whole weeks. Stop living in the past, MAAAAAN.

Yeah, their career gets ruined, but on the plus side, when everything blows up years later, they get a really nice thinkpiece written about them in the New Yorker with a black and white closeup picture of them staring straight at the camera with a headline like, “SHE KNEW ALL ALONG”. 

There’s always going to be some European money mark who wants to throw a few bucks at him for a France-only release, but at this point, Woody’s next movie is going to star Joe Rogan, Laurence Fox, Stacey Dash, Ricky Schroeder and Scott Baio.
