I like films and I prance about on stage now and then.
@mikemuncer.bsky.social In reference to Empire Pod conversation, if you do watch Brooklyn 99 (as you definitely should), don't let the pilot put you off. It's terrible. And it stopped my wife discovering the joy of the 99th precinct for many years. Which she now regrets.

@chrishewitt.bsky.social Nearly messaged you after Oscar noms, then again after BAFTAs but you've just mentioned it on the pod so am moved to say I CANNOT AGREE MORE that Tim Key shamefully overlooked by both. Classic bit of blinkered 'oh, it's funny so it can't be worth an award' idiotic fuckery.

@chrishewitt.bsky.social if @jamescdyer.bsky.social dislikes the name Kamino Kid, maybe there's something instead in him routinely referring to the chap from Nosferatu as Count 'Orloff' in the pre-show giveaways at the 700th pod...🤭

@kaylaepstein.bsky.social Fairly minor thing, but Tina Peters is 70, not 73, which is just what Trump wrote in his post about her. Thanks.

@chrishewitt.bsky.social Oh my gosh - yes, yes, and thrice yes! Thank you!
How many times have we seen comedians and 'comic' actors be amazing when they've decided to do a dramatic role? Why? Because comic acting needs you to be a good actor!
Comic acting is just acting!

@chrishewitt.bsky.social @jamescdyer.bsky.social Just heard that you were at BFI on Thur - wasn't it exciting/weird seeing Star Wars with no 'Episode IV' in the opening crawl?!
Agree with James that the spruced up VFX in the Special Editions were fine but the original holds up surprisingly well!
