Throwing this into the ether but what do I need to know about #plex if I’m the kind of person who dives into the deep end IMMEDIATELY instead of wading gently into a hobby or interest?

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

reminder:

Michael Clayton is low-key one of the best movies of the last twenty years

I feel like the #Peacemaker season finale was conceptually great but didn't stick the landing—definitely an odd way to cap off what was otherwise a pretty strong season, and felt like a "oh right there's a whole franchise waiting in the wings" closer, but overall, some great TV!

"People have referred to Deep Space Nine as this darker thing, in my mind it resembles us... Deep Space Nine was talking about homelessness and terrorism and all of these things. Gender identity. That's us." - Avery Brooks, The Fifty-Year Mission: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Star Trek

Fuckin love Avery Brooks

I don’t play MTG in any capacity but that Spidey bagel card… I weirdly want that one card.

But as an outsider to the hobby it is a bit surreal seeing the sheer pace of these collaborations, especially given how they get covered by major gaming/hobby outlets. “Didn’t we just do this?”

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

I think #AlienEarth was good, but it spent most of its eight episodes setting up questions it simply doesn't have the runtime to answer. Not necessarily a bad thing, but ultimately leaves me feeling a bit frustrated that we have to wait for more.

Okay maybe I've been too harsh about #Highest2Lowest thus far, it absolutely becomes a different beast entirely at the halfway mark and I'm hooked.

It's absolutely wild how these platforms insist on certain standards and yet advertising apparently has no oversight whatsoever!

I’ve been playing along and listening to the last episode said to myself Nar Shaddaa can’t be that big… but Nar Shaddaa big!

When Wright and Washington can dig into a scene, it's really good! But my god, that score, it's so on-the-nose so far.

Kurosawa's High and Low is one of my favourite films, and I've been curious about what Spike Lee would do with #Highest2Lowest. Gotta admit, I'm struggling a bit here - I feel like this first act has no idea what it's trying to be, and the score feels wildly out place. But! Giving it a fair shake.

I hid it so well, with my repeated mentions of how good #Andor is and how everyone should watch it, and that time when I said, "What if we just became a dedicated Star Wars podcast?"

In which I repeatedly make the case this show should really be a dedicated #Andor rewatch podcast.

Super annoyed at every #nswx forecast right now. Rain? Never heard of it!

Instantly elevates anything he’s in. More people should check out the LCD Soundsystem music video he did with Sissy Spacek and Rian Johnson, it’s basically a five minute film that will leave you in tears and it’s because of the performances.

The Hays Code was pretty fucked up! We barely scratched the surface of how messed up that entire deal was in this episode—check it out! #newpodcast

Thanks for 1,000 listens! Here’s to many more!

happy birthday to the perfect album

#SwordoftheSea was amazing, easy to beat in one sitting, but it’s just such a nice world to chill out and exist in. Plus you surf on a sword.

This is a pretty good bit

My current problem is that I have a sick podcast idea and not enough time to produce it.

I'm a physical media collector and I say kill em all

Finally watching The Fabelmans on a sick day. Absolutely nails the feeling of being so caught up in your passion for something, and completely understands why people become such fanatics for film—obviously, because it’s a Spielberg movie about Spielberg!

Lost me at "Kevin O'Leary."

Hell yeah!

I don’t like the ten-point scoring system, but hell yeah, I second this.
