Where do you guys come up with these bits, like
Great discussion. I think I side more with Will on this one, but I have a feeling I won’t remember much about Mank as the weeks go by. Loved everything about it technically, though.
Damn, Jon’s Michael Barbaro impression is actually insanely good XD
Loved Sound of Metal, by the way. Really glad it worked for you all as well.
Lloyd in Space messed with me, too, honestly.
Surprised there wasn’t much discussion about Lily Collins in this.
