Such a great omission. Pair this with Gnorm’s ability to make people fall asleep...I think he might be a predator. Should we be nervous for that pooka back home? I pray they didn’t film scenes of the (alleged) assault on Kominsky.

I thought it was in Gnorm’s weird little den. Wasn’t it? I’m so confused.

I thought about this too! He’s smart enough to trick the guy into falling asleep but has no clue about glass doors?

How did he get Gnorm into the cage seemingly without feeling or looking at him? He was shocked when he got it back to his house and got a clear look - but he had to pick Gnorm off the floor, load it into the cage, carry the cage against his body, load it in his car, load it OUT of his car and walk it into the house. Not a peek? That entire time?

The lack of investigation after a man is blown up mere feet from a children’s play area was ridiculous. Even though Jerry Orbach was the secret bad guy (which surprised me with the reveal by the way) - they all left like an hour after an explosion! What happened to the body?!?!

Just like Jason, I laughed out loud at the CPR attempt on the corpse. It was so smart, and completely surprising. I’m laughing again just remembering it.

Quick poll - does anyone else keep a photo of themselves as a child next to their bed? No one? Nope? K thanks.

When the nutcracker left on Christmas Eve, didn't the card say "See you next year"? I swear it did, and at the end of the movie all I kept thinking was how awkward things were going to be....or how amazing for MJH. I need that sequel where he comes back to life and soldier boy is there frosting her cookies and suddenly Barry Watson pulls out his sword. That's an instant holiday classic.

Did anyone else notice how many times she changed her pants? She would leave her house in jeans and a sweater, then get to the bakery and change into weird yoga pants. Then she would change into different pants to sit on her couch and work on spreadsheets. 3 pants a day? She might be able to save some money in laundry soap and her water bill if she just wore the yoga pants from the get go.

The ex-boyfriend INFURIATED ME! He was so nonchalant in how he broke up with her. I'm not saying he wasn't correct - she had no time for him, I can see why he broke up with her - but what a real d-bag.

All of these posts are so thoughtful and well written. I’m bringing none of that. The tap dance in iambic pentameter to me felt like what they probably did on day 1 of their 3 week rehearsal so that Matthew Lillard could understand how to read and deliver the text. That was some real ta-ta-tee-tee-ta 3rd grade music class stuff right there.

I watched this movie the night before Biden was announced as winning the presidency, and listened to the podcast hours after the media outlets FINALLY called it. My biggest wish now is that we live in the world that Governor Gabby takes place where you vote one day, the winner is called the next, and that person IMMEDIATELY takes office and begins to govern. You guys talked about how crazy it was that she was in school to get a degree in baking - but I’d love to know what the curriculum entails. Clearly there is no crossover education with general culinary skills as she is completely unfamiliar with the term “ala carte.” I also can’t figure out why she was outsourcing the baking of the brownies to Stoner. Maybe cut out of yoga a few minutes early and whip the batch up yourself? Not to mention when the “mud pie” is served at the State Dinner (which looks like a backyard with a giant fountain) - she says SHE made it! AND they use canned whipped cream. What self respecting baking student would use canned whipped cream? Disgraceful.

Did anyone notice when Jake was in the guest room at his friends house he was reading “The Rickenbacker Biography.” Ed Rickenbacker was, according to Wikipedia, an American World War 1 Flying Ace. Reading up on him, his dad told him not to waste his time trying to be a pilot - THEY HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON. This scene comes right after he meets Gonzo at the party, and I can’t decide what I like to imagine more - that he’s been reading this book for weeks because he’s so dedicated and obsessed with becoming a pilot, or that he just bought the book after being inspired by Gonzo. He’s not very far into the book so I assume the latter. I mean, nothing says non-fiction book choice like meeting a guy named after the phallic-nosed muppet.

Im going to benefit of the doubt the auto correct - I bet it didn’t make it one word but “velocity pastor” or something. My phone has done some messed up stuff like that where you look at the sentence and wonder how fat your fingers truly are.

I have to say, I went into this movie thinking it was really a horror film, and I hate scary movies but I was ready to take one for the team because I love this podcast. It was the 2:25 mark I realized I was going to be just fine. What I’m dying to know is - when did Carol learn the karate?!?! We saw the workout montage, which was mixed with Dino maulings and crotch shots (which I didn’t hate). Nowhere in there is she learning juditzu. So when the lazy karate guys attacked them in Carol’s dorm room, she just reveals herself to be an awesome fighter. If this is the case, why didn’t she just fight off rapist #1 in the park in the first place? Maybe if he hadn’t been so provoked, the nice pastor could have lived his whole life with the Dino inside. Poor Doug. I also want to point out that at the end Carol says there is a billion dollar bounty on his head? FROM WHERE AND HOW? I agree this movie is a mix of intentional and accidental bad, which made it so confusing. At the end he isn’t even a pastor anymore so the whole title is negated. Which bumbed me out because it was the best part. I am now considering researching ovarian cysts on tik tok though, so this was a few hours we’ll spent. Thanks guys!

Omission: As Jason points out, Dylan works out on gymnastics rings as if he’s training for the olympics. I think we can assume they didn’t come standard with the $20k apartment, which means he hung them himself. He uses them every day, and seems to have a pretty strenuous routine. This can’t possibly be the first time a strap has broken - evidenced further by his comfortability in the repair process. So are we to believe that in all those times of climbing the rafters he never noticed the Jake Redmond satchel? Furthermore - why would Jake Redmond have had this hidden? It was his apartment - where he lived alone. I can imagine his lady friend having HER letters hidden, but this makes no sense.

He’s bleeding on the ground - should be dead (as we know from history AND THE GIANT GUNSHOT WOUND TO THE GUT). The cops are wandering around the dead dude that they shot!

And there was no noise as he tried to change gears? I remember 16 year old me trying to figure this out and it’s the worst, loudest sound known to man.

The idea that Stanley does not know how to drive a stick shift, then is forced to drive a stick shift in a high stakes situation - and is IMMEDIATLY amazing at it, is ridiculous. And the idea that John Travolta would risk this with his elaborate plan now in peril - crazypants. That car should have stalled out and jerked to a start. The idea that he hits his stride mid-car chase and then is shifting like he’s on Fast and the Furious? Nope. Also I can’t figure out how these message boards work so sorry if I’m a moron and posted it in the wrong place.
