"Beautiful Stranger" is my fave Madonna song
Madonna’s “Beautiful Stranger” & “Ray of Light.” All Saints’ “Black Coffee” & “Pure Shores” all have gorgeous, expansive sound design & production value thanks to producer William Orbit. This loss stings. #RIPWilliamOrbit

I think the entirety of England should be nuked for how they pronounce "St. John-Smythe," personally
In episode 17 (not 16 😜), the hosts discuss 1985’s A View to a Kill, with Roger Moore’s final appearance as 007. Will Bond be able to stop the psychopathic Max Zorin (Christopher Walkin) from destroying Silicon Valley?

This is the longest I’ve gone without writing regularly since I was 14 or 15. It’s not that I’ve lost interest in writing, it’s just that being in survival mode makes it hard for my brain to create coherent essays. I barely have time to relax let alone dreaming up ideas, researching, and writing.

The Spider-Man box-office is...how do you even talk about a $350M US opening ? For a movie starring a guy who also has a major role in the country's #2 movie, which has grossed $400M in 3 weeks? To quote Olivia Colman's Oscar speech, I kind of hope you're watching, this is not gonna happen again.

Spiderman 4, FF First Steps and Thunderbolts* have the same problem which is they’re very fun and I really just wish we’d get directed sequels instead of a movie directed by the 2026 AI pilled Russos.
