grudlian.

I thought it was weird they made him from New York. I know Americans were on the Titanic, but he's just a detective. It would have made way more sense to have him be English. I think you're right it's "funnier" was their thinking. Speaking of unusual choices for character ethnicities, what was up with those mice? Why are there offensively caricatures of Mexican mice?

Maybe this is a stupid question, but how does the dog rapping help find the amulet? Because it seems like maybe the rapping was an unnecessary part of solving anything.

This really threw me off. I'll admit I wasn't paying super close attention to this but this really really felt like it came out of nowhere more so than a lot of this movie. I don't remember seeing that dog in any other scene and there's almost no other songs and it's anachronistic musical style. I imagine the writer or director just said "Titanic is big. Rap music is big. Snoop Dogg is big. So, rapping dog on the Titanic will be huge!"

This might be it!

Did anyone else think the old woman on this ruined them of Granny from the Looney Tunes cartoons? When she gave the main woman her dress to wear, she said something about being thinner in her younger days, but she's a foot shorter too. There's no way this dress should fit.

Something has been driving me crazy. I'm pretty sure there's another movie about a notable event told from an animal's perspective. It's not American Tail or The Star. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Did I imagine this?

I don't know if anyone else saw this, but there is another animated Titanic movie from a year earlier called Legend Of The Titanic. Is this a mockbuster of a mockbuster? This has to be a first. This has to be a budget thing, right?

Not even sure where to start on this. So, I'll just start at the beginning. The music in the opening is very strange sounding. It sounds like parts of it are being played backward. This kind of reversed music played under a lot of the movie. It would have been so much better without any music because the backward sounding music was kind of unsettling.

Veronica Mars episode 8

Looking at some trivia for Veronica Mars. Episode 6 was written by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Yes, that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Veronica Mars episode 6 and 7

Veronica Mars episode 5

You'd rather watch the new trilogy over Empire? I think Empire is overrated but I wouldn't say it's worse than the new movies.

It's been a very long time and it looks like I'd forgotten most of it as I didn't remember it being crazy at all. I would have said it was all about a couple reconciling at the fair in the city. The wikipedia synopsis proves me wrong on that. I might have to rewatch it for the podcast.

The best order for the Star Wars movies is Episode 4, Episode 5, Episode 6. Then maybe don't bother with the rest of the franchise?

I saw this once and definitely didn't revisit it for this. I can get behind a movie with shitty characters acting shitty. What holds it for me is that the movie seems to side with them. I could maybe get behind the idea that war is so awful that this kind of behavior is the only way to handle it in a Catch 22 type way. Like Paul and Amy, I don't think the movie does this and I'm not entirely sure it's trying to. It's just drunk misogynists being drunk misogynists with no real consequences. I'm also not a big fan of the show but it's certainly more enjoyable than the movie. I think the negative traits of the main characters are softened significantly.

I considered only having no options.

The Ringer’s Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan (The Watch) join Paul and Jason in-sutdio for a special podcast cross-over event in which they discuss the 1992 romantic fantasy Prelude to a Kiss starring Alec Baldwin and Meg Ryan. They talk about the body switching, Stanley Tucci’s hair, Alec Baldwin’s dancing, the plantation house, and much more.

This is so accurate. Based on the first episode, the bomber is logically the NUTT leader Big Dick Casablancas (or Clifton Collins mob but we don't know enough about them yet). It's obviously mone of the other old characters and none of the new characters have motivation to be terrorists. But I fully expect it to be someone else with some crazy last minute reveal that won't be satisfying. The big example of what I think is wrong with this season (and maybe the whole series, I don't remember), is the first scene. Veronica climbs the fence and a guard dog approaches her. She says something like "oh jeez, I better be careful". Cut to the literal next shot where Veronica has befriended the dog with snausages. Why introduce a problem then solve it 1 second later off screen? Who was Veronica even talking to especially if she was prepared? It's a red herring for a single shot.

Veronica Mars episode 2

Veronica Mars episode 1 I don't hate this. As much as I don't remember the original series, this feels slightly off somehow. Not terrible but still not quite what I remember. I hate hate hate the "cuss" thing. It's obviously going to lead to some moment that's supposed to be huge when one of them says "fuck" but this is a big no thanks from me. As much as I've been anti- Logan, why is he sticking with Veronica for five years if she's been telling you she won't marry you. Dump her.

We're talking about Logan from Gilmore Girls right?

logan sux and always will deal with it

I'm 100% fine with redemptive arcs but he hasn't earned it yet in my opinion. I've even said that he's grown and maybe they could start this season with them together. I'm not sure what you all want from me on this lol.

I remember thinking Logan being made sympathetic after his mother's suicide and reveal that his father was abusive/murderer felt... not quite pandering to Logan fans but not not pandering. I know that's a very real thing but it felt like lazy way to add depth. On the other hand, I couldn't even remember Duncan existing. A picture and skimming wiki didn't jog my memory much except them NOT being brother and sister. I'd rather have a character I hate than one who doesn't make an impression. So, I can begrudgingly admit that maybe Logan might be better than Duncan.
