I am really not a star wars person so I’m sure this has been discussed, but it is so insane to me that his name is Andor when there is famously a star wars location called Endor? That’s like if there were a character in Wicked called Canzaz.

this is about as far as we should have gone with the internet. Max@Job3:14 as an email address!!

ok I changed my mind maybe nepo babies do have it hard. lewis pullman looks, talks, and acts so much like bill that it was kind of the only thing I could think about.

I feel very “I’ll keep drinking that garbage” about these movies. Ben Affleck is aided in his mission by a group of autistic teen hackers and then he line dances. Sure! Could not tell you the plot if my life depended on it (I left the theater 20 minutes ago),  but I will see every ant movie they want to make. 

Nick’s Corner: Please send me an email for my thoughts.

drake ethered, kamala lost, now this? biracials we are flopping!! we need to send our strongest soldiers (maya rudolph, tracee ellis ross) to the front lines asap!

pretty privilege is the fact that rami malek gets to star in movies that would be made exceptionally better with a dane dehaan performance at the center. why does it take 50 minutes for him to get on a plane to london?? let’s pick up the pace everyone!! as always, nicholson, mccallany, fishbourne, and stuhlbarg are innocent and should probably reteam for like, shakespeare in the park

you might think there’d be diminishing returns on how funny it is to see a penguin walk around inside, but you’d be wrong. in fact it gets funnier as the movie goes on. you don’t even see him hop out of a car until an hour in, and that is really good.

feeling an intense and frightening urge to make fred macmurray fancams

great as always, we need more kurtwood smith types in movies. nick had somehow never seen so here is his corner:

(1) the difference in title typeface at the beginning and the end…
(2) i can make a convincing case this movie es the bechdel test but Olivia is trammeling upon my rights to speech and refuses to publish it (editors note: the argument here is that robocop is not a man…)

ruth sheen stan ❤️

I want one movie like this every month!! and if Marisa Abela was always in it? well that would be fine by me!

celebrated international women’s day

for the price of one movie ticket you get to see two robert pattinsons. what’s better than that?

“I’ve had a rough year, Dad.” 😭😭😭😭

need a cigarette and a piece of soufflé asap

i think if i had watched this as a child i would’ve cried for a week straight. 

nick’s corner:
the last time i was this stressed out by a movie when seeing Uncut Gems in the theater

I honestly get why the women in the office didn’t like Erin but I think if they all went out for post-work margs just one time they would’ve come around.

i cried three times.

yuck!

it’s crazy that this movie is by/for/about white people. that being said, hackman is incredible in it.

wow!!!!!! wow!!!!! loved all of this so much even though southern hamish linklater was kind of a jumpscare

I imagine Deadpool hates trigger warnings but I could’ve used a heads up about Channing Tatum’s cajun accent

if we cut 20 minutes, dissolved some filler, and hired shane black for a … maybe this would be something. plays fine-to-occasionally funny on a small airplane screen.

delightful as always.

keke and sza should do one of these every ten years like the before movies. what a blast. 

nicks corner:
Oscar Award for Best Running (all actors)

as an avid viewer of adrien brody’s instagram videos it was a real shock to that he can also do this

the best movie musical of 2024 and that’s coming from someone who had never heard ”Angels” until 48 hours ago

I come from a Mission: Impossible family so this is really not my culture but I did love it.

I think Goodrich is technically “better” than Home Again in every way, but I kind of prefer that movie’s totally insane energy and concept. That being said, Home Again doesn’t have michael urie telling michael keaton “you got this, mama” which really made me laugh. also… did you guys know that kevin pollack is kind of hot right now? I feel like that’s a secret just for people who watch Goodrich.

“anyway, it’s about old friends” really got me this year.

nick’s take:
pesto IS the quiche of the 80s

nicole, harris, and antonio are all incredible in this but it did make me lol that so much of it is about hand stuff

watched this because in the series finale of detectorists (a british show about guys who do metal detecting as their hobby) there is an extended homage to the barn raising scene for seemingly no reason. anyway, this movie is awesome. 

here’s what nick has to say:
when the Amish child sees three new modes of transportation over the course of like 15 minutes (Amtrak, hot air balloon, car) I was jealous

things this movie is concerned with ranked by how compelling they are: 
7. it sucks to date bob dylan :(
6. it’s hard to be a genius with too many bitches 
5. becoming famous really fast is scary! 
4. costumes
3. bob dylan’s complicated relationship with pete seeger 
2. boyd holbrook as johnny cash
1. timothee chalamet singing a bunch of songs i didn’t realize i knew all the words to

not to be ageist but jason bateman cannot keep having that haircut

it should so obviously have been goldie hawn. I can respect having a crush but come on…

nick wants to add: 
Temple of Doom is high key goated when being a terrible sequel in all the ways a sequel can be worse is the vibe

this is why there should be an oscar for casting!

this is true to life in that every stunning woman is weird as fuck, doubly so if she’s french canadian

one of the great movie premises is: what if you met a weird guy and he totally ruined your life?

it kills me that they gave stephen schwartz the high-energy ensemble member line and he completely deflates it

mikey madison amazing. yuriy borisov amazing. the ending made me groan.

“what if this time there were a lot more… animals?” - the guy who forgot to bring a pitch to the meeting

do i wish that the outdoor scenes didn’t look like they were shot at disney land? of course! but on the other hand i have been wishing for this movie to exist for more than half of my life, so it looking a little ugly sometimes isn’t going to stop me from weeping during wizard and i and grinning like an idiot during dancing through life. i guess this is what comic book fans felt like for all of the 2010s…

I love russell crowe!!! Imagine doing The Insider, Gladiator, and Master and Commander in a four year span. I too would feel like I could throw phones at people!

incredible thing to put on while you’re making and eating dinner, i wish i loved anything the way the people in this movie love pentatonix
