First episode in a while, and I'm quite pleased. I got Final Jeopardy partially because I'm currently reading a book about Shakespeare's life that dedicated a good part of a chapter to the story behind Shakespeare's quest to get the coat of arms, and partially because I'm not a fucking idiot.

Michael Fassbender is almost definitely a massive piece of shit, but damn it if he isn't one of my favorite actors and also I'd probably hit that if he asked.

Debate Club is back (for now)!

Festive Debate Club greetings!

The thing is, if she were right, we wouldn't follow Ferris at all after Cameron decides to stand up to his dad. Because he wouldn't need Ferris anymore!

Why would we spend the first and last twenty minutes following a figment of another character's imagination?

To be fair, he gave more of an effort to sound like Fred than John Goodman did.

No, I agree. I adore the original Disney film, it's just harder to find the charms in that story when it happens to someone you know in real life.

Admittedly, yes. And generally I'm not down with the "Beauty and the Beast is a movie about Stockholm Syndrome" crowd. It's just that you have to admit she's not there one hundred percent willingly, and that bothers me more than it used to.

The Box is so terrible it makes Knowing look not-terrible by comparison.

This was brought up at the (generally) annual riff-watch my brother and I have of The Polar Express.

I've never seen Southland Tales, but I imagine it's at least a better movie than The Box.

Jane Krakowski played Betty Rubble in the prequel, right?

"Thank God I'm white!"

…thank you.

You know, the sad part about Gigli is, honestly, there's a genuinely good movie to be made out of that story. The entire time my brother and I were watching it, we were imagining a remake where you really lean into the dark, violent comedy that's buried underneath the mushy romance and Justin Bartha embarrassing…

That scene was so badass it made me temporarily forget about all the people he killed before, during and after that scene.

Fun fact- My ex-girlfriend's uncle (I think) knows/knew Eddie Deezen.

Fuck you, Scott Eastwood. You think you're better than Gary Oldman, Timothy Dalton, Santino Fontana or Suraj Sharma just because your daddy's super famous?

Debate Club as old as time…
