What? No Vynl? Er, Vynyl? Uh, Vinyl. That's it.

The postshow interviews lead one to believe Johnson is actually kind of an amiable goofball. He keeps being like "can you believe what this guy I play thinks?!"

We'll just have to wait for season 30.

A friend to recommended this and I was all "Right… a cooking show… in a dystopia… and a superstar host is dragged out of the underground like a mercenary being called back in for one last job…" and damned if I haven't found it great.

Same here. I read digitally in collected editions, and somewhere just before the last 2 installments, whatever tenuous grasp I had on the "plot" evaporated. Still, I do think I enjoyed it?

The post-show thing did mention it was basically an over the counter remedy, so she probably brought it along like you would, I don't know, a bottle of Aleve.

Cue laugh track and a freeze frame, with all three doing a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I believe you're correct on all counts. Also, even though it's nitpicky, Cleary didn't "plant one" on Harry; he tried and she rebuffed him.

It was like an Arsenic and Old Lace homage.

I think they actually wanted to fake us out on that, so we'd be hit by the "see, not everything works out for our heroes" ending.

“Ah, well, three swift boot heels to the scrotum, he’d rather be home on a beehive than ever come near you again."

"someone got so worried we won’t get it that Joan gets the truly cringeworthy ADR line: “He looks just like the victims.”

I understand. The completist-fictional-weapon-reconstituted-out-of-Construx road was a lonely one for an 8-yr-old, but I'm glad that there were a few sympathetic travelers at stops along the way.

HELL YES.

But wait… I used to make it out of Construx, too! If only I'd known there was someone else out there…

Ah - I hadn't realized you were talking about a causal relationship, just an intertextual/overlapping one. Gotcha.

See, I always felt that the "As you wish" line actually did just that - create a link between the tale and the real world, especially for Savage's character - the idea that wait a second, is somehow my Grandpa part of this story?
I always felt it was an implausible but charming way of blurring things for the grandson,…
