Clearly the show would have to focus on his struggles coaching the volleyball team to victory while also keeping the bar running despite a constant stream of wacky hijinks.

That is basically what I meant, I was tired and couldn’t think of a more appropriate term in the moment.

I’m a little annoyed at an extremely loose interpretation of bourbon chicken just to justify the alliteration, but this also sounds like it’d be right up my alley if I lived anyplace where I could get it.

That bible story is also a good example of how the industry gaslights all the time. “No, bro, it’s just extended coverage!” My ass.

Dreamland’s such a fun two-parter.

I’m really curious about the idea that the ghost kitchen you had wouldn’t serve food direct... as long as direct pick-up was an option, there’s nothing stopping you from eating in the food court tables (if they are open)

I still can’t think about ghost kitchens without thinking about a local sandwich shop that, even before the pandemic, was running three or four kitchens. If you wanted food delivered after midnight, you’d open the app, tick the ‘open now’ box, and literally half the results would be this one restaurant under a bunch…

Wasn’t there a concept going around last year, with regards to ghost kitchens losing out on walk-in diners, to have several set up in a central location with central, shared tables, that we all derided as being a food court (which it was)? It’s not a new idea, but it was a GOOD idea.

Keep in mind how many of these companies are run by professional executives who’ll wring every last dime out of a company, destroy it, and then just move on to the next company and shareholders let them because they make bank on it, too.

I wish Panera gave you enough soup to be worth the money paid. That said, I almost like the Vegetarian Autumn Squash Soup well enough to say ‘screw it’ and get some anyways. Almost.

Oh, I love Tennant, don’t get me wrong. Ranking Doctors is like ranking ice creams, you gotta actually put in effort to get one you won’t like. I was understating it to try not to gush, but while he’s not my favorite Doctor, the Doctor-Companion combo of Tennant and Tate is probably my favorite of the new series. If…

Very well-put. Tennant’s not my favorite, not even my favorite of the new series, but he and Catherine Tate play so well off of each other.

I’ll be honest, I saw the headline and assumed it was an attempt at a clever title for a review of the new movie.

I haven’t seen any of Brit Marling’s other stuff, but for reasons I have trouble articulating, watching The OA reminded me of back when I was in high school and my mom’s friend talked me into reading “The Celestine Prophecy.”

Yeah, that cleaning solution is extremely harsh. I used to deliver kegs to bars, and the guy I rode with in the truck did a lot of the actual work when we cleaned draft lines (only so many tools and so much space to work with, easier for one of us to scrub and the other to disassemble, reassemble, etc.), and if the…

I’d never heard of this, so I started reading out of curiosity and immediately checked out when I read the phrase “from The OA creators.”

Beat me to it.

After the WGA strike ended, someone in a position to understand and talk about this (I think it was John Rogers, or someone he retweeted) explained that they could only afford to get so specific with the AI stuff. For the purposes of the contract, it was better to leave a little bit of wiggle room with the…

Funnily enough, I loved it because to me it felt like someone just grabbed a random arc out of the comics and straight-up filmed it. Tonally, I feel like ‘The Marvels’ landed right in the ballpark of the stuff I grew up reading in the 80's and 90's, back before everything either had to deal with the fallout of last…

Fair ‘nuff, I hadn’t thought of that.
