  1. It basically goes American Grafitti
    ->Fast Times->Clueless->Mean Girls as the generation-defining high school movies (maybe with some room for a Hughes film in there somewhere) but I think after that youth culture became too atomized for there to be a clear successor. Is there any high school movie from the past decade with that kind of reach?

    Not the first murder involving a former Wrestler in the last month

    One of the tragic things about this is the guy he killed was featured on Dateline because he did twenty years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit after he was coerced into confessing. He was freed and eventually exonerated because the mother of the victim of all people didn’t believe he was guilty and fought for years to help him, and he got something like $11 million dollars from his home state in a settlement. He only spent a handful of years of his adult life free before he was murdered.

  3. Haven’t watched it yet, but I’m looking forward to it. 

    The Daryl show isn’t very good, but it’s significantly better than Dead City, mostly because it’s shot on real locations in France. Its biggest problem is that it’s another Lone Wolf and Cub knockoff. Everyone needs to leave that poor dead horse alone and come up with a new idea, especially if it’s for a post apocalyptic zombie series. 

    We made it almost all the way through Fear the Walking Dead and tapped out a few episodes from the finale because it truly seemed to be scripted by Chatgpt.

    Only thing I'm not sure about is what partner he was referring to who slipped and hit his head and died in his sleep from a brain bleed. Hercules died from heart disease(according to Wiki at least) and Powers is obviously still alive.

    I think he’s talking about S.D. Jones. They tagged briefly, and Jones passed from some kind of stroke-related brain bleed.

    I've watched Goodfellas a thousand times and never thought of this, but if the higher-ups in the Lucchesi family found out about Billy Batts getting killed, why didn't they whack out Jimmy too? And for that matter (if they knew he had something to do with it since Billy was last seen in his restaurant), Henry? 

    I thought about this on my last watch too. I’m pretty sure Paulie compromised with the Lucchesi family so it’d be one of his for one of theirs. They wanted satisfaction and were reasonably sure it was someone from Paulie’s outfit. Of the three, Tommy is clearly the easiest one to point the finger at for Batts, plus he’s the biggest liability. Jimmy is an earner and Henry hadn’t become unreliable yet.
