- I was spiked with a dose of Ayn Rand by @benverschoor.bsky.social in our latest episode and went wild talking about a Atlas Shrugged adaptation. youtube.com/shorts/WMhy1...
- IGN appears to now only show a date stamp of when an article was "updated" (aka when they changed their backend), which is very annoying as someone who is constantly plunging the depths of the internet. Google search results have retained the publish date (I'm fairly certain) but still annoying!!
- Adding to the chorus, "Can We Stop Hyping Marvel's Wolverine Before It's Even Out, Please?" is a headline you will never see. You are only ever allowed to be excited/enthusiastic for a game.

- We go deep into Is This Thing On?, a film about standup where the biggest laughs are outside the comedy club, Novak is not a realized person, standup bits are performances for the self, and the disorienting editing and jump cuts marked by Cooper's facial hair. miseenscreen.libsyn.com/episode-27-i...

- Our main film discussion is very good this week! We dig into all the reasons his film does not work and I get introduced to Tim Brayton's "infested with close-ups" which he used to describe A Star is Born and is applicable here too.
