From a basic google, you can also learn that the rule of thumb is that a movie has to gross roughly 2.5x its production budget before it is profitable. So Quantumania needed to pull in another $200 million before it was break-even.

I actually think Free Guy may be a relevant comparison, too. Really, at it’s core that movie and Barbie have a similar basic theme - main character becomes self-aware in world of NPCs

Mariko was converted to Catholicism and has been studying the language and interacting with the Portuguese priests for 14 years. I think it’s fair to say she’s shared a large number of meals with them and would have a sense of what their culinary tastes are, and would assume Blackrthorne’s are similar.

That’s easy - just cast Joel McHale, he’d have a blast with that

My only criticism is that if celebrities are going to get this drunk, they need to cap it off by relating a semi-obscure anecdote about a historical event.

The name really doesn’t help. They should have gone with just “Teenage Kraken”. Whenever I see talk about “Ruby Gillman,” it sounds like biopic about a 1960s septuagenarian civil rights activist. 

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father.

If you have access to Amazon Prime (and I think maybe also Tubi), you should check out the documentary “Eye of the Beholder: The Are of Dungeons and Dragons”.  It features past and present D&D art and artists and has some cool details about those early artists.

So did he actually have to figure out who they are and maybe even learn their names? Seeing Jimmy Kimmel stump him with “Name any 2 cameramen in this room” when he was on doing that truth-or-dare bit with the gross food pretty much showed you who Corden is.

Unfortunately Days of Our Lives left network TV and has been streaming-only since late last year. 

I’m already dreading the conversation I’m going to have to have with my 80 year old mother about how she’ll have to pay to watch Days of Our Lives now...

Kinda looks like the entire process of “talked into” was one dude mentioning it and Elon saying: Yeah, that’s a good idea. Implementing that now.

1977? Forget disco, Indy could go to the Star Wars premiere!

I’m pretty sure there was even a line from Ramonda that while her own husband is dead, Okoya could still visit hers in prison.

Some recurring sketches can work well, but it needs to have a premise that lends itself to very different possibilities. First thing that comes to mind is Chance the Rapper’s Lazlo Holmes, the ESPN reporter pulled from his regular Knicks beat to cover first E-Sports, then Hockey. Both of those were funny, and could…

>>Overall it....it was an episode alright lol. But I did like the new guy in the final parts of weekend update<<

My favorite exchange of the interview:

As much as I enjoyed the Daredevil appearance, I hope that can wrangle Krysten Ritter at some point - I’d love to see Jessica and Jen knocking back shots and causing some property damage.

My overall Game of Thrones takeaway — it’s bad luck to be named Joffrey at a Westerosi wedding

They really should have gone with ‘love rhombus’
