I know it’s been out for a couple years now, but I’ve blasted through this book over the last couple days and just want to add to the praise. Sad and funny in a way you can’t put down.

Saturday Night Live UK’s first episode was a ratings success and had some shining moments that prove it can work Despite fears the US format would not work in the UK, SNL UK’s first episode went off without a hitch.

I’ve written about the first episode of Saturday Night Live UK for The Conversation. Definitely the only time I’ll write the words “carefully timed ‘cunt’” in a professional capacity.

Barnsley reference in the first half hour of SNL UK, we just keep winning

Agree with the point about it being ok in different series. There’s something uncanny about the cosplay routine of actors dressing in their old costumes but with tonnes of Botox.

That’s good to hear -
Although, if you asked my students, tonal similarities to early Scrubs would not be a good thing!

TV comedy people: is the new scrubs actually any good? Have heard promising things but have limited time to watch things at the moment and most of my emotional tv bandwidth is spent crying at Harrison Ford on Shrinking.

Heated Rivalry episode 3:
the smoothie guy is kinda giving Charlie Kirk 🥴

Libbing tf out, get his ass Bruce

Getting in from the pub and chatting to my wife (who I love)

Had a vivid dream last year that Bob Dylan announced a UK tour of workingmen’s clubs and tickets were super hard to get. Anyway, it’s not quite a workingmen’s, but he’s playing in Coventry (for the first time ever) up the road from my house tomorrow night and I actually think I manifested this.

Peak adult night in

Angel of Harlem - in which U2 travel to Sun Studios in an attempt to recreate the sound of early Presley records and instead produce a piece of music that doesn’t resemble anything Elvis recorded in his entire career (Vegas era included).

Tempted to print this out for work

It’s disappointing that I know what ‘you’re either woke bosh or fascist bosh’ means.

It’s shameful how much Employee of the Month sounds like a movie premise I would come up with. Imagine a romantic comedy… but at Costco. Excellent! 10/10

Today we welcomed our new first-year students with a scavenger hunt around campus. For bonus points, they were asked to recreate some famous film moments or posters. Can you guess what they are?

The concept of not being able to find a decent showtime for one of the best films of the year because Taylor Swift would like to play her new album in all the screens.

Eddington Summer, One Battle After Another Fall

Haven’t seen a single correct ranking of all the Paul Thomas Anderson movies, so here is the actual right order.

Apple Music finally removed the corny AI snow from this Bob Dylan album cover art 😍 who told them it looked like absolute shit?!
