Well that’s some bullshit. I was really looking forward to this simply because Fuller was involved. That guy has bad luck with being able to finish stories. 

Ok so here’s my pitch: It’s modernish times and everyone has accepted that Jason is an unstoppable force of nature. Crystal Lake is a national park and only like four people die there a year. Most cause they were taking ill advised selfies as Jason lumbered up behind them.

They do this:

Also you could rent movies before you could by them. Sometimes years ahead of time.  Honestly owning commercial VHS tapes didn’t happen in mass until the 90s.  It use to be prohibitively expensive to buy them, like $100 a movie in 1985 money.  

I’m with you on this: it’s one thing to find something unacceptably offensive in any context and another thing to think that you’re rushing to the defense of a group that you don’t think can articulate their own thoughts. But after a couple of decades of what sounds like pretty standard right-wing jackassery, I’ve…

I’d prefer Eric Idle to personally, but I’ll take either of them. The Pythons have neatly divided themselves into ‘already dead’, ‘determined to destroy their legacy on the way out’, and ‘must be protected at all costs’.

There’s so much I really don’t understand, like: how the impeccable idea of ‘Let’s all be kind to people’ has been developed in some cases ad absurdum,”

I need more context about the Hitler impersonator. Was it someone lampooning Hitler, or doing a loving tribute to Hitler?

WHY DO U HATE ELON IS IT BECAUSE U HAT AMERICA

His political views are disgusting.  To call them “quarrels”, get fucked.

I hear Matt Berry has already been cast as Hindsight, so there’s no way they're giving that part to Douglas at this point.

He’s a pretty well regarded interviewer, and Conan’s comments weren’t a lie. 

Counterpoint: good interviewers are not and do not try to be the story or the center of attention.

I never really considered that Sean himself should be focussed on being entertaining. Interview hosts that attempt this usually fail hard - taking the attention away from the guest, which is not the point of this show. He’s not trying to be Jiminiy Glick or Zach Galifinakis and do a schtick

I’ve actually tried the hot sauces that Conan drank straight from the bottle in this episode and even as a person who really likes hot sauce I cannot imagine doing that, or how much discomfort he must have been in by the end of this. You can never say that Conan isn’t committed to the bit.

I’d trust the guests more than our own opinions on Sean. Every single one of them seems to love Sean’s interview style - which they confirm all the time, and would have strong opinions on given the number of interviews they sit through.

I quite like his interview style. I think the long buildups to seemingly random questions is part of what makes the show work. They’re meant to disarm the guests who are already being challenged by the spicy food - they’re mouths and foreheads are steaming, their noses are running, they might be hiccuping, and they’re …

Fun fact: Tom Hulce, who played attorney Steven Brillstein in Fearless, shadowed my dad (a personal injury lawyer) for a few days as research. When my mom and I saw the movie, there were a couple of moments where Hulce did specific verbal things that he got from my dad, and my mom and I lost our minds laughing.

She needs her big beef and cheddar Johnny!
