DID YOU KNOW: for a small gesture of financial support patreon.com/rangedtouch will allow you to listen to HOURS UPON HOURS of bonus content for our various programs, including our film-focused JUST KING THINGS Bonus Eps, such as the most recent one on the mess that is CELL (2016)?

Amazon is about to create "M" about a young Judi Dench lookalike taking over the double-0 program and becoming enamored with a young recruit she insists will be 007. It will be a workplace drama about sexism in British security and also we'll learn his real first name as finale credits roll.

Look, I'm not reminiscing about Jon Stewart's Daily Show with rose-tinted glasses, but the guy has been fucked over advocating for 9/11 responders for over 20 years. No one is surprised that Dems aren't helping laid off workers. They'd rather campaign in 3ish years that "worse things might happen."

I'm actually genuinely surprised I've never watched Doom Generation until now. I'm 35, it's the 30 year anniversary of the film, and it's so clearly one of the films I would have stumbled across in college when I was doing the pedantic "fuck Hollywood in 2006" thing and scraping around for cult hits

Julia is drawing Pokémon again on today's Drawfee. See if you can do a better job than we do at guessing which ones she's drawing! youtu.be/AUZpv1cGfRk

Idk why but I've been having a hard time diving into movies this month. When I lock in to a film I feeI so much better. I need a checklist, or an underlying thematic connection to set my brain in that direction.

Hmm, howlongtobeat has Avowed at about 15 1/2 hrs, but I played for like more than 1/3 of that today and never left the first city... Do I play games wrong?

I stopped paying for Game Pass Ultimate a while ago, but Monster Train was far and away a highlight for PC. I'll fuck up a sequel, hands down.

I mean, I think the bigger point was "trying to rebuild a failed institution that fell to fascism is why we are in a cycle of fascism rising all over again" but go off I guess.

Look, I'm all for video game artists setting constraints and borders for how a player interacts with the work. About 30 mins ago I was totally fine with Avowed asking if my player looked like a human or an elf, but then I started the story and met Garryk. Why can't I be a hairy goblin, Obsidian!!

I try really hard to not be a fully pedantic giant asshole, but seeing someone watch a 2024/25 science-fiction TV show and say "this real-life office equipment from 30 years ago didn't work like that" my eyes basically roll so hard I get a migraine.

Got it down to 4. I'm watching a Let's Play and seeing where I may have overlooked, or even straight forgot, search terms in docs and results I've passed thru a thousand times.

I have 8 family members to lock in for Roottrees and my brain is tapped on what else to search and how to get the final pictures of these damn rich children.

I love a second season for Smartypants. I love Dropout banking on new show ideas and finding new stuff to put on. The hits are great, but the new stuff, that's the real meat and potatoes.

I got farther in Roottrees than I expected tonight but I've also hit a block. Maybe in the morning I'll have a brain blast or something.

Hmm, 5 days away from Avowed full release, weird amount of time to try and play something start-to-end, especially when a lot of those are work days... It may be a few days of Dark Souls dicking around and more Roottrees diving.

That's credits in Cyberpunk. Never really fell in love with Night City (tho that did make the ending work extremely well for me), but theres a lot I loved about character missions and basically the most linear pieces of it.

Happy (almost) Valentine's Day! We're celebrating by drawing the most toxic couple of all time! youtu.be/bxBDzf00GyE

I truly don't understand the side mission structure of Cyberpunk, the timing for when a person randomly calls you and suddenly picks up a thread from hours ago. If I hadn't looked something up earlier I would have locked in the endgame without realizing it. meeting Hanako feels mid-game, not FINALE.

Idk what the second half of this game looks like, but wow has KC just given up.

If it ever even happens, I will forever be interested and skeptical of a third Talisman book, especially now that Straub has passed. Whatever King writes as a finale will likely be a love letter to a friend, and also a product of 24+ years of author development including recovery from near-death.

Going into a weekend. That's it.

A thing happened late in this ep that made me go "oh, ok, I think I get why this structure happened, let's see" and honestly, I like that I have a show that's seemingly planned to stay ambiguous but still coherent enough to allow me to decide if they're making strict decisions on time and budget

I can't believe two of the shows I'm actually excited to be watching week-to-week are on freaking Apple TV.

We're reimagining gritty adult tv shows as children's cartoons on today's Drawfee! youtu.be/Rk7jjcOw1mc

I was gonna make a profound indictment post about trying to match with normal ass people on tinder when you're 35... But then I came across this guy that has literally 6 pics of himself with the same woman that's clearly his partner and they're definitely looking for a second guy.

I think the F4 trailer is fine. I like that at least new art styles are going for it. But I cannot believe no one has mentioned that Reed Richards doesn't stretch once in that whole ass trailer, he's just "forlorn family patriarch" and it's maybe the big testament that it's not bothering en masse.

Honestly, yeah. Stand in front of them, scream in their face and tell them they're acting batshit illegally, and when that doesn't work, punch one of these fucking twerps and get arrested and be a fucking headline. It's not that hard.

Just thinking a lot about the Comedy Central staple b-comedy Airheads, which aired, like, every Sunday of my teenage-dom. What if something similar happened except they kidnapped little twerps and no one cares about it so they just continued to run government offices.

Just really curious what happens if someone tackles one of those doge kids. I'm definitely not saying they should, I'm saying it would be interesting to see what happens if you do that. To all of them. And then stuff them in a closet (locker). And we all have to watch the doge hostage standoff.

I've been paying for DCUI ever since I was reading along with 52 Pickup (shout-out @aftermath.site @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social @alexjaffe.bsky.social ) but I also got impatient and read all of 52 already. Gonna have to start reading other comics I guess, cuz I'm here. And I'm in.

Thrawn Trilogy from Zahn very good book series of Star Wars EU. @morecivilized.bsky.social very good podcast that introduces you to Thrawn Trilogy from Zahn. Got thru the weekend with the Last Command audiobook and the read-along pods. Excellent work.

He also did a whole ass interview about how making movies in America was actually more stifling than making movies in Russia thats interesting to listen to.

Well that's Adventures in Babysitting, the best Thor movie by a country mile.

Everyone can see the anti-trans movement is everything we said it was now. They're trying to wipe every mention of trans people from existence because they know the science and evidence is against them. It's absolutely undeniable now. It's so evil and extreme

I remember when Obama got shit cuz he wanted to kick Fox News out of the daily press briefing. I know it's meaningless to compare to other admins because they're just doing literally everything they want without pushback, but I wish a Dem would go on TV and scream this over and over for 20 mins.
