I nearly walked out of Frozen 2 when I realized she was not going to be pregnant and hanging out with Shrek and Spider-man

This was one of the longest ones I’ve written in ages, and it could have been so much longer. 

It’s not the same in the states, as evidenced by Winchell v. Mahoney and the Charlie McCarthy hearings.

What a great interview

It was also used in the trailer for Blumhouse's "Fantasy Island". 

No kidding, it drove me nuts when the episode aired. “OH so they WERE all dead the whole time. I was right!” No, you never were and never will be.

I’m sure thats true of JJ since he wasn’t directly involved with creative after s1. You’re thinking of Carlton Cuse. also,for the umpteenth record, they weren’t all dead the entire time.

Ah, interesting! Thank you for setting the record straight. It looks like I saw the pilot, which had been developed for Nick, at an animation festival before the show aired. I thought it was Spike & Mike’s, but maybe it wasn’t, and perhaps I did conflate R&S with B&B.

I would also like to shoutout his work in Tinted Windows. They only released one album, and I wouldn’t even say that it’s anything all that special, but it’s just kind of a cool collection of musicians putting out a solid pop rock record.

We Need to Talk About Meechee

For this next round of Mad Libs I need two celebrities, a number between 1 and 100 and a crime

This is similar to the Toughpigs stance on the question

The single best musical number on film of the past fifteen years was “No Dames” from Hail, Caesar. 

So if I believe that FF movies should be light-hearted but better constructed than the mid-00s movies, I’d rather see a dark and dour version. Got it.

I didn’t even see Trank’s movie.

(Did Tim Story not direct the second one?)

No, I think it was Brahbrah.

this feature is so good - this and Age of Heroes is some of the best movie criticism around right now. And well done AVClub too - this is exactly the features we want on this site.

I’ve got to go with the Ever-Lovin’ Thing. Such a painfully human character. Also very interesting in those early days as you never knew if his anger, resentment, and jealousy would boil over. Just an all-time great character on an all-time great book.

For me, it’s a tie between two characters: Spider-man and … Captain America.

The real point is that the bird was shown for only a short period of time -- a pelican brief, as it were. 

I’m not sure when that part of David’s Hulk run went from beloved to sneered at but it still holds up. The social issues (AIDS, homosexuality, paramilitary intervention in civil conflicts) are often awkwardly addressed but they’re still there and on the forefront of a well-selling mainstream comic in the early 90s.
