I feel there's a really good QI gag in there... Sandi: "What else did the person who invented the first electric hearing aid invent..?" Alan: "Electric earmuffs?" *KLAXON*

Also burying the lede on the other part of the story - HE LIED ON HIS RESUME. To the CIA. The guys who are supposed to know ALL the things? One might think they woud double check before letting this guy walk away with huge amounts of money... Which he also did.

Oh sure, but there's enough people being *weird* about it these days that he probably thought it was a completely viable method of discreet payment. What I wanna know is if the other guys *offered* the gold, or if he *insisted* on it...

Fun fact: "Artificial" used to mean "skillfully made" - full of artifice.

The giant skeleton was MASSIVE. Like, twenty feet tall! It was the first time it had ever actually been fully assembled - Laika's studio was too small, so it was only the bits they needed in the shot. The whole thing was amazing.

Coraline's Garden, a good twenty feet across!

If it *only* was the antivaxxers, I'd be fine with it. But no, measles is SO contagious, if it gets a foothold, it's gonna start hitting vaccinated folks too.

It's a very Studio Ghibli film. Unusual planes. Air pirates. Young person going on an adventure. Why is he a pig? Never fully explained beyond "a witch's curse".

I'd forgotten how good the end credits music for Kubo and the Two Strings was. One of my favorite renditions of a classic tune... (Has some spoilers if you haven't seen the movie, so just listen) youtu.be/lSfJdwJ1h1E
