Thank you! The movie also brilliantly shifts the perspective from parent of a disabled child to living as a disabled adult in a way I find profoundly important and I have a lot of unique thoughts as I’d love to share on @blankcheck.bsky.social if Stanton is after weir and you still need a guest!

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

I'm reading that everything bad is a distraction from everything else that's bad. A thought: maybe everything is just bad and they like doing the bad stuff and even openly revel in doing the bad stuff because of how much they like doing it.

I feel the need to have an additional caveat . Not only would I totally understand and even expect them to already have a guest on this episode, but I feel I could probably find a unique reading on any number of directors. I just really want the opportunity to be on an ep of BC as crazy as it sounds

Here Comes β€˜The Bride,’ Unfortunately Maggie Gyllenhaal’s second directorial effort is pretty much a disaster.

Begun the BRIDE wars have. My review of Maggie Gyllenhaal's astonishing mess of a movie:

I really don’t mean to be presumptuous and it’s entirely possible even likely they already have a guest, which I would totally understand and look forward to, I just wanted to shoot my shot, as unlikely as it may be. Thank you all again.

@rilaws.bsky.social @alisonwillmore.bsky.social @jamellebouie.net would any of you mind amplifying my pitch stupid as it is ? I have genuine experience on podcasts and I think I have something original to add. Thank you all for your consideration.

One thing I'll say about Marty: though many viewers associate him with movies about the mob, if you look a little more closely at his filmography, you'll actually find that it's incredibly varied, containing not just movies like Goodfellas and Casino but also Kundun, and even The Age of Innocence.

A few weeks ago, this movie disappointed me, but lo in behold, my virtual friend @bobchipman.bsky.social had many of the same issues I did – structurally unsound flashbacks, lack of actual urgency about AI. Boomer vibes, etc. Subscribe and give a watch friends!

The "Accountability" issue is getting muddled and we should be clear about what it is and isn't. I don't need Democrats to post Trumpian memes and say swears on TV, I want them to impose legal consequences on our criminal president and his accomplices. Until they can, they should cheerlead for it

On the off chance @blankcheck.bsky.social is still looking for a guest the finding Dory ep. I have experience writing about the intersection of Disney and disability and have lots of thoughts on what FD says about ageing with disability. I know it’s unlikely at this late hour, but wanted to ask!
