By “film” do you mean “tabletop RPG”? This is my favorite JSRPG: gshowitt.itch.io/jason-statha...

This explains why I found “Four Weddings and a Funeral” so bizarre.

Hip Harp! I love the Ashby sketch.

It’s an incredible game, and the voices, sound, and music are fantastic. Great work. And cool fact about Murmur!

The charm of this plays counter to the creepy French name for toes: doigts de pieds, or “foot fingers.”

I’m astonished to not see “Thermae Romae Novae” mentioned.

Ancient Roman bathhouse architect unwittingly zaps through time and space, stealing ideas from modern Japanese bathing equipment and comforts. And the creator appears at the end of each ep, touring Japanese baths!

I have a feeling I will!

Such a cool idea!

I once saw Ray Wise on a plane from Seattle (coincidence?), and in the terminal I said, "So sorry to hear about your Laura." He shook my hand and gave his evil laugh. It was a fun celebrity run-in, but after that interaction I felt weirdly complicit. A testament to the impact of Laura's story.

Not weird at all, this was a fascinating discussion of a fascinating movie.

Happy birthday! I’ve followed your work for a long time, so I know this is huge. I’m so happy for you.

That cover art is gorgeous! Even if the ad hadn’t featured the cat, this goes in my to-read. But don’t tell her that.

Agreed! Though I’ve still got some Demme landmarks to catch up on. Swimming to Cambodia is really special.

Likewise!
