I have so many, but she has to top the list!

During Superman, a guy kept rocking (like, a literal full body sway back and forth) his crying baby at the end of the aisle I was sitting in. Even leaving aside the annoyance, I spent the movie worrying he was damaging that poor kid's hearing.

I don't get to the theatre as often as I'd like, so I recently picked a weekend and decided to see Weapons one day and Superman the next. I was shocked at how poorly behaved each audience was, and it definitely made me want to just stay home.

Between Dr. Chase Meridian and Carter's cousin Chase on ER, little kid me was pretty firmly committed to naming my hypothetical future child Chase.

Underrated movie couple.

I would 100% watch that version of #task. It sounds great!

It feels like such a small thing in the grand scheme of everything going on, but occasionally I'll just randomly think about how we're getting a second season of The Night Manager and how unexpected and nice that is.

I've been watching an old season of Junior Bake Off, and I have found this so distracting:

All I can see in that first photo is that it looks like Naomi Watts is in Weapons.

The first time I heard that, I genuinely thought Dana Carvey was making a joke.

A Tale of Two Sisters and The Host should definitely be up there.

Thinking about this has made me realize how many really great Korean horror movies I haven't gone back to since the early 2000s, and this draft is the perfect excuse to fix that!

I did not watch Party of Five, but for some reason, I was super excited to watch Time of Your Life. I was big into JLH in that era! I still love How Do I Deal. Is it a "good" song? Probably not. Will I defend it? Absolutely!

I was literally thinking about watching Judgment Night tonight! It's been way too long.

My first thought for COLLEGE GIRLS was "Sorority Boys" but I'm guessing that doesn't count.

The description is insane: "A popular yet drunken actor reconnects with a group of his college friends for a wedding several years after graduation."

The fact that there is a character called Pockets is even more ridiculous.

I'm still not entirely convinced this actually exists.

I had to look into this, because I was sure I knew it and just had to jog my memory (if there's one thing I know, it's obscure 2000s movies), and I have never even heard of it.

I love Last Action Hero so, so much.

I love a prison mentor! Movies really started going downhill when that stopped being a standard character.

This continues go fully off topic, but I also have to add that I've only been podcasting since May and I don't know how people (yourself very much included) do multiple podcasts at one time.

Just one is so much work!

I tried to watch first episode, it literally gave me nightmares and I had to stop. True crime stuff just freaks me out so much.

It's kind of ridiculous that I'm a total Ryan Murphy person (so much so that I started a Nip/Tuck rewatch podcast), but I haven't seen what might be his best show.

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

Hot take: I prefer it to Get Carter!

When I was really little, my teacher couldn't find me one day when my mom came to pick me up from school (cue freak out). I had fallen asleep standing up along the row of coat hooks and I just blended right in.

I understand that people age and it is no longer 2004, but every single time I see the name Logan Lerman, I'm like "But he's a kid! He was just Bobby."

The whole story of James Gunn's own dog (and how he based Krypto on him) just gets me right in the ❤️.
