I have to say ... I find Devindra's almost constant assumption that if something doesn't personally annoy him, then you should just do something to avoid it, incredibly self-absorbed and borderline thoughtless. It's apparently our job to avoid thoughtless people.

Wondering... which side are you on of the debate? 😅

I grew up with wearing shoes in the house... even with carpeted floors. Now as an adult I understand how filthy shoes get outside - so my wife and I have opted to take off our outdoor shoes in the house. We have indoor slippers for lounging but also have indoor shoes bc we work from home and we want arch support 🤓 When I go to another person's home where they ask me to take off my shoes, I comply. That said... if their home and floors are dirty, it makes me roll my eyes and upset inside 😅

My wife and I have a rule that if we've gone out into the world and walked around town or sat anywhere outside of home... clothes need to come off if we want to lay on the bed afterward 🤓

And on the subject of Superman... Given Jeff's love for the character and his vivid distaste for the DCEU take on him, it's WILD to me he's never talked about the recent live action series Superman and Lois. The first season of that show is gobsmackingly good, and the pilot episode is the best Superman movie since the first Christopher Reeve film. The show is wrapping up this year to make room for James Gunn's take on the character, so for anyone who's excited about live action Superman, you really do have to check out the show. It's free on the CW app, or available on MAX the one to watch for HBO.

Glad you finally addressed the shoes at home thing. Probably the single most deranged fact I've ever learned about Americans. I'd always assumed they just did it in the movies, for aesthetic / continuity reasons!

As someone who grew up in a Filipino household, I have what we called, "house slippers." I wear them all day in the house. It's actually to the point now where I feel extremely uncomfortable if I don't wear them. That said, if I have to make a quick trip outdoors to take out the trash or get the mail, I'll put on my "outdoor slippers," haha. My wife thinks I'm weird. I sent her that NYT article about how much poop was on our shoes and she just told me life is too short to worry about that, haha. To each their own.

James Atkinson

If anyone ever felt like they had never acted before, it was the Detroit captain. He hammed it up all the way into the third movie. Delivering all his lines with a stiffness beyond any of the many corpses Axel leaves in the streets. He was the best.

Guys, it’s Christopher REEVE, no “s” on the end. Y’all keep saying it wrong

Not just shoes on bed. My girlfriend hates me wearing clothes on her bed, especially jeans. I have to basically strip down to undergarments if I’m to lay momentarily on her bed. And god forbid it’s on TOP OF HER DUVET. Thoughts? Are clothes allowed on beds?

Devindra be like: just sit in the theater where no sane person does and you won't be bothered by people!

You guys made me realize you are all probably not wearing shoes while recording this and that all WFH people are not wearing shoes and now I am deeply uncomfortable. Signed, someone who grew up in a “put shoes on, you weren’t raised in a barn” household. No hate, just unease.

Dave. When James Russo tells Eddie Murphy he loves him, there is an unspoken moment before he speaks which, to me, implies he knows he would have dealt harder with the penalty of the crime because of his race. It’s a tender moment showing how powerful and strong their friendship is.

The movie Jeff was searching for is So I Married an Axe Murderer. The cop in the movie wants his sergeant to be very hard on him. Recurring bit as the movie goes on.

Regarding Curb Your Enthusiasm, Jeff is right. It would be that the light from the wheelchair panel distracts Larry David to the point where he moves to another seat. Someone else in the audience (someone who knows Larry, most likely) notices the move. That person confronts Larry just outside of the auditorium after the movie, in the presence of the person in the wheelchair. Larry explains his 100% rational point, but in a jerky defensive kind of way. Then it devolves into that person plus the wheelchair person goating Larry into saying something stupid, like "maybe you should figure out a way to turn off that panel when the movie starts." Larry ends up saying just that and the person who knows Larry uses it against him at the end of the episode, where something about ADA compliance comes up. Roll credits. lol.

I felt the same way as Dave when I saw this movie for the first time a few years ago. Eddie Murphy’s whole deal was kind of screwed up given the context of police scandals. There’s a reason the LAPD guys were following the book, it was because they were (still are) terrible. But I see where Devindra was coming from with the point of view that “the book” i.e. the status quo usually favors the corrupt business man. Though I think he is giving this movie too much credit.
