46. Father Daughter Dance (Landman, S01E01)


Stray Observations

  • "Oh my God! He's sitting in my fucking chair. Oh, that's it, mother. In she goes. Un-fucking-believable. The moment that lady's cheeks made contact with the canvas, a way of life ended." (The Franchise, S01E07)
  • "I've seen this before."
    "Yes, I've seen this before too. Sean is possessed by a demon."
    "Oh, I thought you meant you'd seen Sean's basement before." (What We Do in the Shadows, S06E07)
  • "My friend Sean here, he had a demon in him and his possession has sent him into, what they call in the medical profession, a real fucking shitstorm."
    "We all have WebMD now, don't we? Well, it wasn't a heart attack, if that's what you're referring to. The technical term is a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction."
    "Did he say 'fuck Sean'?"
    "I did not say that." (What We Do in the Shadows, S06E07)

  • "Oh, we can't throw it away. We're Asian. We don't waste—" (Interior Chinatown, S01E08)

    "Hulu?"
    "Yeah."
    "What is a Hulu?"
    "Hulu is a type of container in Mandarin."
    "Container for what?"
    "For people."
    "Whoever these Hulu fucks are, they're the ones controlling your story." (Interior Chinatown, S01E10)

Being Really Awesome Together

McDonald's is really having its cake and eating it too, actively associating with anime and Kai Cenat, while passively being associated with MAGA. Although, I suspect the audience crossover is sizable.

Cool in the streets, fuel to white sheets.

Surely McDonald's execs have discussed a Trump collab. All that sucker money. McAmerica Great Again.


You ever think about how after Coca-Cola introduced the 6×2 12-pack in 2001, every other soda company just followed suit? Shelf space pressure from retailers? Like, what if Pepsi continued to use 4×3 packaging to stand out?

Also, I know I was alive for 19 years before 2001, but did Coca-Cola beget supermarket pixel art displays? Were any displays created with 4×3 packs? I can't remember.

Why haven't major beer companies switched to 6×2 packs? To visibly differentiate from non-alcoholic beverages, like cups for water?


Idea: Cheers, but set at one of those bars inside a Whole Foods Market.

Treat yourself a round of sausage

Idea: A New York Times Connections game show.

Round one: Three contestants solve Connections puzzles. Alternating turns. One attempt per turn. $100 for a yellow group, $200 for green, $300 for blue, $400 for purple.

Round two: Same as round one, but the dollar amounts are doubled.

Bonus round: A variation on Pyramid's winner's circle. A contestant's chosen companion receives the four groups and feeds the contestant items. Dollar amounts are tripled. If the contestant solves the whole puzzle within 30 seconds, they win $10,000.

Idea: A rice cooker that also washes the rice, like a washer-dryer combo.

J-Kwon should interpolate Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," and then Shaboozey should interpolate that song, and they should keep doing it, back and forth, forever.

Blessica Blimpson

The thing about stealing Quentin Tarantino's personal 35mm print of Pulp Fiction is that he could just make another one. Then you'd just have a 35mm print of Pulp Fiction.

Sure, you could still make money selling it, but how many people want a 35mm print of Pulp Fiction? It's a buyer's market.

And if Tarantino didn't make another 35mm print of Pulp Fiction, how would you verify that yours was his personal print?


She also ditches an unwanted child to focus on her own self-advancement?

Curious how this film passes off Bartlesville, Oklahoma, its filming location, for Silicon Valley.
