ok has these ever been a show that *didn't* have a set number of season/pre-planned arc that ended strong?

i'm afraid i will be making a lot of use of this clip

cool how every business decided to universally implement the confidently wrong machine

please observe this whimsical little coffee cup I got at the op shop.

i don't want to be dramatic but I do think no one associated with any element of Microsoft Teams will see the light of heaven

used to pray for times like this (sending an invoice titled Baby Yoda 1400wd)

I do think it’s on Andy for not clocking this scarf and immediately running in the other direction.

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW The Mystery Box has become an integral part of the J.J. Abrams legend - and it's about time we did an unboxing podcast. THE FALL OF SKYWALKER II: THE MYSTERY BOX out where-ever you get your podcast unless it's youtube, I'm too lazy for that. open.spotify.com/episode/3o1K...

the second episode of The Fall of Skywalker is up now so you know what that means - an excuse to post some of my favourite concept art

Bring back the ancient knowledge

anyway exporting fall ep 2 now

Charlie and Christian disagree on nearly everything about Going Rogue except that my American accent on temp tracks is terrible

for everyone frothing over the Romain Gavras video for GENER8ION's STORM, Gavras was also the director behind MIA's BORN FREE, which was a massive influence on THE RAID

doing the airport equivalent of the Takashi Wakasugi myki bit with a 6.9kg bag. weigh me, Jetstar - you have already lost.

Charlie’s piece on MICHAEL is finally up and it runs the full gamut of the art v artist, craven narrative re-writing, production issues and just generally bad final product, untangling this Gordian knot of a film queertrashofficial.substack.com/p/im-startin...

That is between me and my shadow.

there's more movies with monkey protagonists than you'd think, yet not nearly enough movies with monkey protagonists. this is the central issue of our, and indeed any, time.

ok I am fighting with my mate- is this a spoiler?

out: hooted and hollered in:

The Nationals still have me in Farrer and it's so funny to say this my dude you've been in coalition with/held this seat literally the entire time I have been alive. if there are problems they're your fault! Labor isn't even running a candidate. what the fuck are you talking about you absolute clown

new bonus episode up on the patreon about a movie that was barely released in Australia and is the subject of an ongoing legal case because I'll be damned if I ever make consistently accessible, algorithm friendly content. www.patreon.com/posts/deb-bo...

don’t think it should be legal for my tummy to hurt after a run. that’s meant to be the thing that makes you good why would my body betray me like this.

Some of the leaked concept art from DUEL OF THE FATES that doesn't match the first draft and was done in early 2017, after the story reconfiguration.

i ended up cutting this from the podcast but please know this was the first message I sent after seeing The Force Awakens (as part of possibly the second audience to ever see it)

Somehow, Going Rogue has returned

I never did bother to read Trevorrow's DUEL OF THE FATES script for Episode 9, but I think @tansyg.bsky.social makes a very good case for it as flawed and odd (it's a Trevorrow project!) but with a good deal more juice than what we ultimately got

So of course I have already listened to this episode and *obviously* it is full of critical zingers. SH fans who remember Tansy’s Jurassic World: Rebirth review (quoth: “the film clunks”) will enjoy the extra salt about OG Jurassic World found herein. (Also: bonus @abigailnussbaum.bsky.social!)

when your uber driver Ben takes the wrong turn at 80ks and hour but gets offended that you go for the jesus handle

ended up cutting this bit from the episode just for tone/time but please know there are silly montages everywhere for those with eyes to see

NEW EPISODE OF THE POD OUT NOW We begin our new season THE FALL OF SKYWALKER with an episode on Colin Trevorrow's ill-fated STAR WARS EPISODE IX: DUEL OF THE FATES. (pic by Christian Alzmann who is kind enough to date his concept art which is real handy for me) open.spotify.com/episode/1GoX...

I make a guest vocals cameo in the first episode of the new season of @tansyg.bsky.social's GOING ROGUE, about Colin Trevorrow and the exceedingly troubled early development of Rise of Skywalker. Which is a real delight for me, as someone who's been a fan of the podcast since its first season

At last it can be told! I am appearing (um, reading quotations) in the new season of @goingroguepod.bsky.social, The Fall of Skywalker, in the challenging role of Kathleen Kennedy! (Again, I just read some quotations) Can’t wait to hear what @tansyg.bsky.social does with this topic!

Listened to @tansyg.bsky.social's podcast about MEGALOPOLIS and I am still baffled by the decision to (a) become a revisionist about the Cataline Conspiracy, the most boringly self-interested coup attempt in the Republic, and (b) make it about architecture somehow, the one thing I'm sure it wasn't.

look it was a bold choice but I really don't think we needed the extra episode of Andor

all leaks and gossip aside, the Avatar movie did give me a deeply funny/embarrassing moment where I was introduced to a guy at a party with “oh yeah he’s working on the Avatar movie!”, and I said “yo I think my cousin is working on that too?” and anyway it turns out this man was my cousin.

consider this an announcement, or a warning.

lil announcement on the patreon for those who celebrate www.patreon.com/posts/introd...

there's a theory in the new season of Going Rogue that I have chosen to wholeheartedly believe even though no one has ever suggested it before and the only way it's getting debunked is if [REDACTED] gets my number from [REDACTED] and calls me.

ok ok hear me out: a Mummy movie set in Ptolemaic Egypt.

in celebration of the 15th anniversary of Game of Thrones premiering I've unlocked the Going Rogue bonus about the disastrous pilot that nearly killed the show in its cradle. listen to it! enjoy it! you don't even need a free membership this one's for everyone! www.patreon.com/posts/forbid...

i frequently forget that my friend christian is a real actor so i get him to do readings for the podcast and he'll roll up like "hey I studied the exact cadence and accent of the real person" and then I ask him if he can do a take more like Garth Merenghi.
