I have only just now become aware that NBC canceled Stumble, probably my favorite new comedy of the season… so delightfully weird and heartwarming. Why aren’t shows allowed to grow anymore💔 you should check it out on peacock if you haven’t seen it. youtu.be/0XGH5emJiRY?...

My biggest gripe with Odyssey criticism is how much of it seems to be about what the film isn’t, rather than engaging with what it is… everyone gleefully repeating “there are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible” like that’s a failing of Nolan’s instead of a filmmaking choice…?

A thought I’m having after publishing this is that when people (artists) steal from each other, it comes from a place of feeling: jealousy, identification, inspiration… if someone lifts something from me I know it’s because they cared enough to do it. When AI steals it’s just programming

Anyone who enjoyed the way Lena Dunham’s Famesick brings a new dimension to Girls should check out next month’s The Sane One by Anna Konkle, which will remind you how good PEN15 was and help you appreciate the series in a brand new light.
