Equal parts hilarious and brutal. We may have seen an earnest conversation between Logan and the Roy siblings for maybe the first time.
Then we briefly discuss The Big Door Prize from AppleTV+

We get a big payoff for what has been being teased this entire time... and it delivers... for better and worse.

Roman gets all the best lines but Greg still gets the biggest laughs. The funniest comedy on TV returns... even if all those laughs catch in your throat.

We discuss the first 3 episodes of Disney's Mandalorian series. Has it gone so far down into the Star Wars mythology rabbit hole that it may alienate the casual fan? A question that we raise in regards to the latest Marvel output.
First, I give a brief review of Extrapolations plus have some positive things to say about the more action focused fourth episode of the Mandalorian and have some thoughts on Ted Lasso's third season, as well.

Well here is the final statement on the show, Your Honor. It's a relatively quiet end to the show. With so many open endings, it seems poised for another season rather than a series conclusion.
Before we get into that recap, I have seen the latest Scream film and I have some spoiler free commentary for Sona.
You Season 4 (25:00)
Then Sona discusses the most recent season of You now that the back half of the season has been released. How happy was she with the big twist?
Yellowjackets Season 1 Finale Recap (54:00)
Last, we republish our recap of last season's finale of Yellowjackets, as we approach next week's premier.

There isn't any light. Joel lies and Ellie knows it... but sometimes plausible deniability is easier.
Then, I give you my instant reaction to the Academy Awards.

The end is in sight. Michael contemplates an offer from Jimmy. Desire 2.0 = Desire 1.0.

Ellie doesn't find religion. You don't need to inject the antibiotics exactly into the site of the infection (but I probably would so the same). Pastor David takes "serving" his congregation to another level.
Oscar Best to Worst (40:00)
I try ranking the 10 Oscar nominated films from best to worst and provide where you can watch them.
