Also, a few separate, important thoughts: Is it me, or did SMG spend like 45% of this movie crouching? And it bugged the hell out of me that they spent so much capital up front establishing this "never gets past the third date" thing and then it never came back. Really frustrating.

(First, hello all, my first post on the forums -- late to the podcast and just caught up on all the episodes, so I'm finally current.) Am I the only one who thinks Jason was right? THE CRAB TOTALLY SPEAKS. My girlfriend (who said she loved this movie as a kid but hadn't seen it in a decade) and I argued over this extensively (but amicably). In the first magic food scene, when Amanda Peet is going nuts while Flanery is having an orgasm, SMG says "Is she on something?" and the crab definitely says, as Jason notes in the episode before being shut down by everyone else, "Your food!" GF & I had a long discussion over whether this was the crab speaking or the sous-chef speaking while the camera bizarrely cut to the crab (btw, crab puppet, you da real MVP). I maintain it was the crab (possibly supporting June's theory that Christopher Durang inhabited the crab body). This also happens later in the levitation scene, when he says "I love kissing you" and the crab (or possibly SMG while the camera is on the crab) says "I love you." Now, I do admit the possibility that it was some bad ADR, as there is a lot of TERRIBLE ADR in this movie, most hilariously while people's mouths are unable to speak due to having other people's tongues or fingers in them (the aforementioned "I love kissing you" line in the levitation scene, for example). I really need someone to get to the bottom of this. Rewatch the Amanda Peet scene, as I did ten or twelve times. I maintain the crab says "your food." Who's with me?
