From Detroit With Love

The inside joke is that Kyle Petty is the son of Richard Petty, who voiced “The King” in the first film.  All of the jokes about Cal being easily replaceable and often overlooked are jokes that Kyle endured throughout his actual racing career.

In my headcanon, there’s a deleted scene at the beginning of Cars 3, which starts with the last scene of Cars 2 — but the camera slowly pans out, and we see that Cars 2 is being projected on a screen, and then we realize we’re at the Radiator Springs Drive-In, and Cars 2 is actually an in-universe movie called McQueen…

Trump taintlicker Josh Hawley took to Twitter to complain about the ruling.  I imagine Splinterites took the opportunity to congratulate themselves for preferring him over Claire McCaskill.

The bridges go woo-WOO!

The whole Bay Area ‘posed to be up cookin’ breakfast!

Officer Enablement is the bigger problem here. Were it not for Officer Enablement looking the other way, Officer Redacted would have been kicked off the force years ago, and the entire department would have a much better reputation.

38 Studios bought the mostly-finished Kingdoms of Amalur because they wanted to repurpose its lore as the backdrop for an MMO they were developing. Their involvement in the game that released was minor.

WALL-E was in production when Disney bought Pixar. I’ve always assumed that BnL is a subversive poke at the ever-growing Conglomerate of Mouse.

I’m on the other side of the state. I’ve had Cane’s. You aren’t missing anything. Chicken tenders from a grocery deli counter are both tastier and cheaper.
