I just discovered this podcast. And now I wonder what I have been doing with the past 10 years of my life. I cannot express the joy I get at listening to these guys just talk. I binged all and every Star Wars episode and cannot get enough.
Griffin. I have never met someone as passionate about scale as myself. Have me on for a deep dive into scale. We can talk about the sociopaths that just used to casually have He-Men and GI Joes play together like it was totally normal.

I know something that “needs to be relitigated” hates to see Griffin coming
Barely talk about the movies just. Talk more about the attractiveness and objectifying actresses.

Rachel Zegler? The worst. guest. ever.
