ALL THESE MEMORIES WILL BE LOST…LIKE EEYORE'S TAIL IN THE SWAMP. TIME TO DIE.

It's a Mike Pence horror film where he's trapped in a house with a young single woman and must use every trick in the book (HIDE. FLEE. FIGHT. PRAY.) to avoid getting caught alone in a room with her

I really enjoyed it but I also thought it had quite a few weird fuckups. There were a lot of arbitrarily dropped character arcs and things that didn't really get resolved, and it felt like it ended abruptly and without any particular payoff. I was expecting Unforgiven, but it was really more along the lines of the…

Pragmatic in what sense, though? I'd argue that the ultimate measure of pragmatism is whether something achieves your goals, and in a lot of ways the centrist drive to compromise has fallen short.

No joke, that was my shitty former father in law's exact reaction to a crepe. He stared at it, tried a bite, and then (in a thick Texan drawl) said, "Oh, it's like a pancake!"

The designs and environments of this episode reminded me a lot of Moebius/Jean Giraud in some way I can't quite put my finger on. It also reminded me of Donald in Mathmagic Land.

In the Heights was good. We saw it when they were touring it. Definitely enjoyable.

There damn well better be; my IRA is heavily invested in soup futures and the international soup bond market.

I hope you checked out the rest of the menu, the prices are ABSURD. Check out the sides!

That's what blows my mind about pseudo-upscale steakhouses like Ruth's Chris. The food's fine, but it's expensive as fuck! Like, more expensive than some Michelin star places.

I dunno, man, I don't think that was minor. You can see meat and bone. If you look online you can find production photos showing the makeup they did for it and it looks pretty raw.

The bit about dressing kids up like pirates and comparing it to dressing up like Nazis was good, too. Lots of good Nazi jokes in general. Good, clean fun!

I've always heard that a big part of Shyamalan's continued presence in Hollywood is due to the fact that in a world of precocious auteurs, he can reliably finish on time and under budget.

At least the article credits the creator. Often it just says "ROFL WHO DID THIS???" or some shit, so everyone gets screwed but the aggregator.

Yeah, you nailed it. It read like a first draft. The dialogue was very stiff, as you say, and there were a lot of places where I felt like a joke _should_ have been.

I have to say, that part was terrific.

My (American) family has always had "figgy pudding" with hard sauce, which I put in quotes because I discovered a few years ago it's actually a recipe from some domestic magazine from the 1950s. I've had the real thing and it's both quite different and not too far off.

The issue with sours is the same as with IPAs, though. There's a lot of smaller breweries making really crummy, unremarkable ones. Some places even try to pass of beer with defects (especially unintended wild yeast contamination) as an intentional sour.

Thanks, listening now. This is great.
