Both Tim Curry and Roger Moore talked (fondly) about their affairs with Miss Piggy in their autobiographies. Has there ever been a full accounting of her conquests? It feels like she'd give Beatty a run for his money.

Our car downloaded an “operating system” update and now it talks to me all fuckin’ the time. I yelled at it to shut the fuck up and it displayed this:

It made me LOL. It was almost refreshing to just get back to the basics of rom-coms.

Happy Birthday to one of the GOAT movie stars and a hell of an actress. She made it look so easy that they ignored how hard she worked.

@jamescdyer.bsky.social all that talk about your fight with the bees on the PilotTV pod made me think of Rowan Atkinson's Netflix series Man vs Bee

@chrishewitt.bsky.social guess you didn’t see this because I just listened to the spoiler special pod for ep4 and now you’re going to be on holidays. I’m just going to keep reposting this till you see it and say the name correctly! Or I’ll just tag @helenlohara.bsky.social @jamescdyer.bsky.social 😉

This is your occasional reminder that The Princess Bride is a Christmas movie, making it seasonal as well as a magnificent tribute to Rob Reiner's work.

@kayrib23.bsky.social I am caught up on Traitors now...I know it's not a real death but I was surprised how emotional I got! And they actually put the coffin into the grave 😱 I assume she wasn't still lying inside. I would have died from claustrophobia 😬

Fallon started as an Adam Sandler wannabe on SNL and he grew into the corporate bootlicking bitch-boy he is now. There is nothing to him and there never will be.

@chrishewitt.bsky.social @jamescdyer.bsky.social @helenlohara.bsky.social just saw Marvel announced Ironheart will drop all 6 episodes across 2 weeks instead of 3 in week 1 then one a week. What's the likelihood of spoiler special pods for this show? Or is there no genuine interest for this anyway?

Yes, this is Jon Hamm, in the Empire office, in 2012. He spotted a sticker, suggested an impromptu photo op, and history was made. Fun fact: Jon Hamm, literally only yesterday, started off an interview with us by mentioning this exact “famous photo” of him.
