0:00 - Anime noises

8:08 - Amazon Wish List items, and how they’re desired, but never urgent. Also, it seems like when you’re an adult, every single purchase you make is somehow connected to a larger, more bureaucratic chain of events (can’t get books or movies until we have bookshelves, but we can’t get bookshelves before we fix the door or replace the A/C unit). Capital improvements make you feel guilty as an adult who’s trying to be responsible with limited funds.

17:00 - We missed a couple of weeks of recording because Dustin was busy and I had a kid in the emergency room.

24:00 - My kids have friends now, and a chance at a childhood that I thought had died with mine in the 1990s. The joy of unstructured play.

41:40 - We just want to spread the Good Word of Denis Villeneuve.

0:00 - I promise I’m not cynically advocating for women’s art in order to signal progressive values in order to gain an audience or false heroic sympathy. Allow me to consume art as I see fit.

0:00 - Catching up, it’s the end of the summer and life’s been busy.

3:00 - REVIEW - “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” (2023)

36:30 - The Paramount Turtles universe, and other corporate capitalization of successful storytelling, until it’s been used, abused, and diluted by giant studios. We also talk about the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes and their effect on the upcoming Sonic 3 film, maybe it will force them to make it without any human characters, thereby making a fan favorite movie by accident.

42:43 - What it must be like to try to talk brass tacks business with extremely abstract people like Jim Carrey, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., or Marlon Brando.

48:38 - Are we, at 34, aging out of the demographic of movies in general? Also, Daniel Radcliffe should be the new Wolverine, come on.
