No idea. If you click on the link, it mentions Disney, as well. Weird.

That's a fun little easter egg.

Just a load of nothing. The bit where he goes on a walk and they abandon that it's a doc and do a pointless flashback, just screamed of "we're making this up as we go". See also Addison's exit.

The Springstein joke is the only bit that made me laugh.

Jenny Nicholson Tweet:

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

Doing a podcast with Toby is like sitting next to a warm fire on a lovely winter eve. So comforting and nourishing.

One thing about watching Goldeneye on the big screen again was seeing just how Pierce nails the whole "Onatopp" bit - especially through the prism of those awful recent leaked screen tests, where not one of them gets anywhere near it.

The first Tron was a flop, btw, but it was so creative and interesting that it became a beloved cult classic. This looks as interesting as one of those awful tweets you see where someone posts an AI clip of Iron Man fighting Popeye with the caption "This is the future of movies"
