I feel like Suburgatory was hilarious for naming their one Black character Malik Lafrique, with a backstory of a family who bootstrapped it into the burbs from Detroit’s ruins like poor post-Jim Crow urban Black family turning into mid-2010’s wealthy Black family, the layers are good

the anxiety of a marketing person who grew up on single-serve printing cannot be overstated (I’m ordering business cards from a real printer; they’ve always used Moo, which is 1.5x the price for worse printing, “but I can order 50 at a time!” right, and pay 300% more because you always do it rush)

June Squibb! Lisa Kudrow! Steven Merchant! Anna Kendrick! Craig Robinson! Tony Revolori! Wyatt Russell! Table 19 should be an amazing film but it’s far too bogged down in its need to be referential to The Breakfast Club to get past “it was cute”
