Can you float through the air when you smell a delicious pie?

@andrews_sea_jay Nice!

@TheBigPic @SeanFennessey @akdobbins @ChrisRyan77 As for spy films, I don’t know if it’s actually good, or if I’m just nostalgic for a time when I would randomly become engrossed in a film on TNT on a Sunday afternoon, but Where Eagles Dare resonated with me and stands out as a classic/rare in-war spy film.

@TheBigPic @SeanFennessey @akdobbins @ChrisRyan77 This is a good example of what makes Big Picture such a great pod: deep knowledge of film as an art form and an enterprise; appreciation for a variety of eras, styles, and genres; friendly discussion that is loose enough to be fun without becoming chaotic. 1/

@ChrisRyan77 @TheBigPic @SeanFennessey @akdobbins Great pod. @ChrisRyan77 any recs for entry spy books? I’ve been staring at Agent Running in the Field for months, but haven’t pulled the trigger.

@VyceVictus I watched Without Remorse pretending it was Killmonger: Origins.

[Ben Stubbs @benstubbs4]

@VyceVictus Both actors were so good here. MBJ is frustrated but completely in control. Jamie “Billy Elliot” Bell is terrified, increasingly concerned that MBJ might ACTUALLY kill him.

@petersagal @LauraMLippman @petersagal this is unsolicited, but have you read The Buried Giant? Nobel-winning author, swords and monsters, weighty themes, whip-smart dialogue, and endearing characters. Might be right up your ally.

Pleased to see students and others voicing their concerns about the most recent efforts to change Bright Futures, particularly re: only applying it to majors of “strategic emphasis.” I’m reminded of this incredible essay from Marilynne Robinson. A thread:

WOW. Just fantastic.

@MENA_Conflict @DoctorGentry you’re welcome.

[Ben Stubbs @benstubbs4]

@TheRewatchables @BillSimmons @SeanFennessey LOVE @TheRewatchables. It’s hilarious when Bill’s tendency toward hyperbole (“Is this the best/first example ever of ________?”) comes up against @SeanFennessey’s need to be accurate and measured. When Shea is on it’s like, “Absolutely! Top 3 at least.”

@petersagal Wait, you didn’t see Uncut Gems?

@JPEnglund Who says woke-ism? Wokism? Wokeism?

“Oh, my Lord, no.”

.@andygreenwald and @ChrisRyan77 reluctantly gather under the same roof of a dysfunctional family as they rewatch 'The Royal Tenenbaums' on @TheRewatchables.

Yeah, I’m out. Good lord.

A new era begins.

Welcome to #DUUUVAL, @CoachUrbanMeyer

@DoctorGentry Like, this vehicle is such a layup. Why!?

[Ben Stubbs @benstubbs4]

So Ben Solo kills Grogu, right? #mandolorian
