inhaled Selling The City because these shows are my most humiliating addiction and while the cast is mostly underwhelming and the drama is often inscrutable at least it has the iconically bizarre musical choices of the rest of the franchise
The occasional live TV event always reminds me that American pharmaceutical ads are some of the most uniquely troubling and deranged things created by anyone ever. Why's a CGI turtle asking me to talk to my doctor?

about a year ago I started a running list of the "best original songs not nominated for the best original song oscar," which I update each time I remember one. I'm prepared to add all of these 2024 tracks to that list when (based on current predictions) they're ignored. really good stuff this year!

An absurdly deep dive on the question on everybody's mindsβor at least ours: Are Luigi and Chuck Mangione related?

itβs the only Christopher Nolan movie that doesnβt leave me feeling totally cold, *and* itβs the only Christopher Nolan movie with a character named Old Murphβ¦ coincidence?
