I don’t give people I don’t know the benefit of a doubt when it comes to sitting next to a stranger at a movie. Most people who do so are assholes, so that’s my default.

Ripley is amazing. Jeff, your high praises weren’t high enough. Literally every cut away scene could be printed as an art piece. Thanks for the recommendation!

Tyrel

Ahh cool

Gabe Robinson

Dave talks about it quite substantially on the latest episode of Decoding TV.

Hamilton Way

I saw him recently in a play on the West End directed by Sam Mendes - he was incredible

Tyrel

Why’s no one talking about the dang fallout series? It’s arguably better than the dang video game. Gosh dangit.

This was a real ride to listen to as someone living in a civilized country (i.e. one in which reserved seating in cinema is the norm).

If you haven't seen Dev Patel's interview with Ali Plumb for BBC Radio 1 I recommend it - he talks through all the huge setbacks he faced when making Monkey Man and I now think it's even more impressive he even made that movie.

I'm with Jeff on this. The feeling of waiting in line, as I get closer and closer to the cashier while I wait for my wife/kid/friends to get back from the bathroom (or wherever they've gone) is absolutely anxiety-inducing lol. Normally it's an emergency trip to the bathroom and the response is "sorry, there was a SUPER long line at the bathrooms"

I burst out laughing at fourth body problem. Well played Jeff!

“4 Body Problem” made me spit out my drink. Thank you Jeff.

Matthew Walker

Re: Ripley: you may recognize Johnny Flynn as one of the leads of the show Lovesick. He's also recently been in Emma, The Outfit, and some other movies—and I'm excited to see the direction his career is taking!

If you’re holding seats for other people before a movie, how do you avoid the trailers? Asking for a friend.

I walked into my screening of Monkey Man (in Wisconsin lol) and the only other people in the theater were an older couple that were one seat away from me in the row I had selected earlier in the day. I ended up sitting a row back and little to the right of the original seat. No one else showed up for the screening.
