I have a Nigerian friend and now address him in Richardson’s voice as ‘You Nigerian Mothafucka’!

I imagine a couple of possible arcs when they meet.  Rupert will realllllly want to beat Richmond and they will at first and struggle later or they will lose the first matchup and Rupert will go off on him.  Rupert will also likely shadow-coach the team, pissing off Nate.  Rupert’s whole reason for hiring him in the…

Good point.

Passenger needs more buckle.

I loved Sweet Tomatoes.  My favorite memory of eating there was watching this one guy eat one specific ingredient at a time.  He would heap a huge pile of peas on a plate, eat it, go back, heap a huge pile of corn, eat that, eat a pile of cheese, then croutons, etc.  I think most of the restaurant stopped to watch…

I love me some AB, but she better not fuck with Lupita Nyongo.

Naw.  He only has an issue with it when he needs some money.  He would just sue in ten years when his Ninja Turtles school picture falls out of favor or he blew through the baby penis money he settled for.

I think we’ll get a bigger sense of the machinations of Rupert in the next episode.  I don’t think the writing is as sloppy as people think.  Lawrence, Goldstein, Hunt, Sudeikis, et al have been doing this for a while.  I predict that Rupert has been running a long con to either sabotage Richmond (like Rebecca 1 in…

I love Hawley and I love heist films, so I’m in.

I was a kid when Star Wars came out and went to see just about anything sci-fi.  All I remembered about Krull was the boredom and shitty effects.  For something trying to channel both Conan and SW, it failed at both.

Correct.  Krull was one of the wave of Star Wars rip-offs (I know SW itself ripped off other properties), that was most notable for an early Liam Neeson (right after Excalibur).

Headline a Star Wars property or work for Ben Shapiro opposite Kevin Sorbo?  Not exactly the choice I would have made.

There’s the whataboutism asshole.  Why are you fucks even on The Root?

This plays into the Trumpian trope of ‘I read somewhere...’ and running with it.  Reading an article or hearing something from a friend does qualify as ‘research’ these days.

Wondering if Rupert’s been dripping poison in Nate’s ear all along.  He would know who to exploit and how on his former team.

My ‘cook to’ = your ‘fold laundry to’.

We watched ‘After Hours’ again this week to prep for the episode.  It had some parallels, but was a good spiritual successor.  I forgot it was directed by Scorcese and wonder why it’s never really mentioned in his pantheon of great works.

I thought ElgortSheridanTeller was adequate in that his character was a little out of phase with everyone else.  I think it hid his deficiencies.
