Lagunitas' Brown Shugga is amazingly drinkable, and it's a 9.5%.

Wait, who did you think Buzz was then?

Don't call chicks broads.

From here on out, every DC films ends with "Bohemian Rhapsody."

He absolutely would not. The man is pretty serious about his films, which I respect— I'd much rather he keep toiling away than try to ironically engage with the fans, a la Wiseau.

Same here. I don't think Neil Breen needs riffing— there's nothing you can add that's as funny and absurd as what's on-screen.

Breen has a commitment to his filmmaking that rivals actual, talented directors.

My local pan-Asian grocery has an amazing steamed bun shop that makes those sponge cakes, and they're magnificent. Everything I've had there is, though, even the one dish that's just a brick of tapioca starch and food coloring.

I really love social criticism that is able to be ugly and blunt. The GTA games have felt really prescient and relevant this year, as has The Purge's great-granddaddy (which I mentioned above), Paul Bartel's Death Race 2000. In which the president has a summer home in an Eastern nation, the media lives solely to cover…

Just like how they're also the best Inception movie.

God what a brilliantly-executed running joke. Speaking of films that deserve a best screenplay nomination.

Oh, no, you weren't being a jerk or offensive at all, it's just that Powder's best known now for the fact that its director is a child molester who somehow still got to make that movie, and I was surprised that didn't come up.

There's so many interesting figures of the time that never get looked at. I would kill to have Lurt Gerstein's story done justice: devout Christian joins the SS to expose its crimes, spends years trying to slow and mitigate the Holocaust in whatever tiny ways he can, and tries to warn the world over and over but gets…

You, uh… how much do you know about the making of that movie?

That's a great pick, and one we watched last week for the exact reason— the fiancée and I have a friend who hadn't seen it, and we figured it would be a nice way to spend some time.

From what I understand, he volunteers.

It is! You get to watch it live, every day of the year.

I'm really not sure about The Handmaid's Tale, even though the talent involved is great. It's such a slim, efficient book, I'm not confident it can be stretched to ten hours. And having anything (apart from the epilogue) that's not from Offred's perspective would diminish the horror and oppression of the world— it's…

Fuck yeah, Oscar This. One of my favorite features on this site, and the perfect place for armchair punditry.

It's a series with a great, great premise that is growing more comfortable with that premise with every passing installment, and I hope it eventually goes full Paul Bartel mode with it.
