@seeleyrj.bsky.social Enjoyed hearing you on the Plain English pod. Some anecdata: I started Wegovy in spring 2023. I had for decades been a consistent drinker, not daily but three or four days a week, occasionally to excess. Since then, I have not been able to tolerate more than a sip of alcohol.

@jeffcannata.bsky.social Your Avatar limerick might be your best ever. Helps that I agree with you, both about the other movies and this one. Sucks when someone who has been sparring with you for years lands a solod body blow. 😞

@jonnegroni.bsky.social Just started listening to Mad Men Men and really enjoy it! Glad to see it's still going even on an irregular schedule. FYI Don's car definitely had power steering, which was standard by 1960. Those giant boats of that era would have been impossible to drive without it.

@patrickklepek.bsky.social I was baffled by your insistence that Pluribus, unlike Breaking Bad you said, "is NOT a comedy" and takes the whole thing very seriously. I would say there are certainly serious moments in the show, but...did you see the second episode? This is what I posted about it.

@devindra.bsky.social Thank you, Devindra! It has been driving me nuts that none of the podcasts covering PLURIBUS, and virtually none of the people commenting online about it, have made that parallel to MRS. DAVIS.

@jeffcannata.bsky.social understands ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER better than @devindra.bsky.social does--or at least vibes with it more. Jeff is spot on that the shadowy ultra-left and ultra-right wing organizations in the movie most resemble the strawman caricatures each side draws of the other.

@jeffcannata.bsky.social I felt your comparison of Sean Penn and Brad Pitt, in terms of allowing themselves to look bad, was slightly unfair to Pitt, although I can provide you only one counterexample. Maybe you haven't seen it, but in 1993's Kalifornia, Pitt's redneck character is super gross.

It sometimes feels like we could just play one of those classic Army offenses and hand it to Mason every time. Just get that 4 to 6 yards and a cloud of dust.

@jeffcannata.bsky.social Pedantry incoming! There is not actually room for "an entire top 10 list" between where @davechen.bsky.social put the Karate Kid movie and where it actually landed. There is only room for nine. #justsayin 🤷

@emleiker.bsky.social Emily, I'm so glad you said what you did because when @andrewkrammer.bsky.social was listing the Met Gala and all that, I was thinking just like you were: that this may work in the opposite direction he implied, an Olympic medal being something exotic Jefferson might covet.

@jowrotethis.bsky.social Joanna, I love that you bring your experience studying in French to the podcast. But I think you have forgotten something about French pronunciation. If Lezine's name were spelled "Lezin", your pronunciation would be perfect. But with the trailing E, it's "luh-ZEEN".

@jowrotethis.bsky.social When you said you were glad to have Jeffrey Wright back on your HBO screen on Sunday nights, I completely forgot he was on Westworld and thought for sure you were making a callback all the way to Boardwalk Empire! (That's where I first saw him.)

@davechen.bsky.social @jeffcannata.bsky.social I guess Devindra is not on bluesky? I wanted to ask him to shed some light on his statement that it was too late by the time he saw Nosferatu because his list was "locked in". What does that mean? It was already submitted to the two of you?

Sam struggles sometimes with overthrows (as has Mahomes lately, FWIW). Hopefully it was adrenaline and KOC can help him dial it back in.
