“Unlike virtually every parody movie that would follow, Airplane! features a cast that, for the most part, refuses to acknowledge that it’s starring in a comedy.”

“But to people experiencing the film for the first time, it must’ve been a legit shock.”

I recall reading that one thing Streep gives all her characters is a secret. And Joanna’s secret? She never loved Ted.

Not the best metric since “Superman" on December 15 of that year.

I'd suggest it deserved at least a mention and a link.

How the Hades could your miss acknowledging "Superman: The Motion Picture" (which, according to IMDb, was actually the second highest grosser of 1978)?

That, or per KC, he finally hooked up with Diana. 😜

The Monitor brought back Lex because he had “a part to play”. So besides killing Supermans, nearly becoming a universal conqueror, and remaking reality so that everybody loves him, remind me what possible need there was to resurrect Lex?

The Buck stopped.

Yes, that. 😁

I’d also argue that SW usher in an age of sweeping orchestral, cinematic scores, which was solidified the following year with Superman: The Motion Picture (also by Williams).

“Beyond Mark Hamill’s floppy Tiger Beat hair, nothing about Star Wars even looks ’70s.”

Slightly annoyed that Xi’an and Qin sounded British. Everyone knows that Twi’lek’s native accent sounds French. That’s direct canon from Lucas.

Ismael Cruz Córdova is a guest and no comment about two Mandos? 🤨

The Mouse will never let the Simpsons die.

But they are still innocent, so to speak. When and how will they know sin?

I’m assuming we’ll see Flash-90 again becauseif that was sacrifice that saved the multiverse, it didn’t and was utterly pointless.

So if the Anti-Monitor has a fail safe that will destroy all the remaining universes at once, why not do that instead of the long way?

Kara's obvious mortification at finding her alternate universe cousin supremely hot? Priceless.

I’m still kinda horked that the Paragon of *Truth* isn't a Wonder Woman. I mean, duh.
