ICYMI: last week, @mitchellbeaupre.bsky.social joined us for what is (hopefully) our last *fully* forgotten movie starring Amy Adams.

Did she agree to be in Lullaby as a favor to her old friend Provoloney from Psycho Beach Party? We can only speculate!

And yeah, part of being an LA native is announcing yourself as an LA native. If I don’t say “born and raised” once a day, I wither and die.

Unfortunately, as an LA native, I know enough to not bother a celebrity simply because I’d like to gush about Twinless.

Another advantage LA has over New York is that I saw Dylan O’Brien at dinner.

Trump says this stuff because he is very, very stupid and no one in his circle has corrected him in years, but I’m sure he does also still think he can cancel elections and therefore nothing he says really matters.

“Only fools care about skyrocketing gas prices while we bomb a country into oblivion” is quite a statement to make at any point, let alone an election year. And yes, the mass slaughter of innocents should be enough to turn off voters, but most of them do seem more motivated by gas prices.

We were warned.

Had never seen any of these because I assumed I would hate them. And, well. I guess the silver lining here is my keen self-awareness.

I mean there is a reason, in the sense that we are covering the ones that Amy Adams is in on @chasingamyadams.bsky.social. (Tune in, please!) But last night I watched Suicide Squad for “fun,” and now I’m trying to repress everything I know about Gal Gadot to enjoy Wonder Woman.

You know shit is bad when I’m watching DCEU movies for no reason.

my theory of the Harris campaign, which makes exactly nobody happy:

1. she was put in an incredibly deep and arguably insurmountable hole by Biden

2. she made significant errors, largely in not separating herself from him enough

3. her results were still in the upper range of plausible outcomes

Really the main difference between LA and New York is there are FYC billboards here.

Hey, LA, what’s going on tonight? I don’t want to put real pants on, I’m just curious.

Netflix telling me to watch something called War Machine… let’s read the room.

On the other hand, there is a level of badness (and caffeine) where I just become numb for a bit, which is a privilege of course, but there is not much I can do at the moment, so.

Hey so remind me not to drink a Celsius followed by two iced lattes and then read the news.

Well,

Some rare good news today.

nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....

DHS keeps the fuck plane. Lewandowski stays on it and he has to fuck. Markwayne's problem now.

it is kinda wild to me how most Republicans in Congress almost got themselves lynched running their mouths about 2020, and proceeded to forget all about it roughly 3 hours later

Kristi Noem gave me permission to be weird.

I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.

This week on the pod, we're hosting a Seder with @mitchellbeaupre.bsky.social.

Lullaby is a forgotten film, but it does have a cancer-stricken Jewish patriarch, Garrett Hedlund singing, and a medical professional named Dr. Crier. So who can resist, really?

We are making some forward progress here. (I gave them a little popcorn.)

The moment has come… the movie you’ve all been clamoring for… the Garrett Hedlund-led Jewish family drama Lullaby.

(You don’t have to have seen or heard of the film to listen to the episode. We have fun!)

Two things can be true. Usually it’s just the one thing, though, sorry.

My friend Oedipus said the same thing.

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.
