Yes to the Last Jedi episode and maybe a hang out episode with Lisa throwing conversational hand grenades

This episode was off the chain. Yes, do an airing of the Last Jedi-related grievances episode. It’s been almost a decade and it still gets more boring and disjointed with every year.

After the Brutalist trailer Im prepared to declare the Oscar race for best picture over. Sorry Anora and Conclave.

I'll try to wait until after I see ANORA (waiting for it to expand as my wife might actually want to see it) and THE BRUTALIST to make any kind of "state of the race" projections. But I gotta say, while noting that CONCLAVE is a lot of fun and SEPTEMBER 5 is damn compelling, it still feels like DUNE PART II is sitting pretty by default.

Well, I would be pretty hyped if the sci-fi genre finally score a best pic win, even if I was *slightly underwhelmed by Part II; although my wife insists (I got her to read Messiah right before we watched Part II because I couldn't sit on the spoilers indefinitely), I was too focused on where the series goes and forgot that the first book ends on a more conventional note, which is probably where the underwhelm comes in. Ooh boy, if it wins best pic then Messiah stays faithful to the book, its going to make Joker 2 look like a crowd-pleasing romp.
