The Monkey was such a blast, and I’m irrationally high on Companion. I own the grocery store they filmed in and they were super nice. I didn’t know at the time how much I’d love everything Jack Quaid would do this year. This, Novocaine, and his part in Heads of State make such a fun triptych.

I’m surprised how high I remain on Superman. I am a fan of a lot of Gunn’s scripts, but seeing him center such a sincere, openhearted character feels like him hitting a whole new gear. Such an impressive evolution that the guy who did Super (which I love) grew into the guy who could do this, too.

Oh shoot, yeah. I do like it, but I could easily see liking it 20% more just by adding an era appropriate laugh track. Great call.

I do like a lot of what Zombie is doing with his Munster’s, I just kinda wish somebody with a better sense for comedy pacing would go in and re-edited it to take some of the excess air out of a lot of the scenes.

Yeah, dial up the score a little to feel like and ending and following folks underground would at least feel like a statement of some kind.

When it pops up the location card for the final setting I thought this is where we were going to get some kind of final statement coda on everything, centered around the FEMA agent who very much seemed like she was being set up to be important.
