Me incorrectly shouting at my phone as they’re debating what figure Ben got at the end: “It’s Atomic Skull! You got Atomic Skull! Why would they ever make a Blight??” But turns out they did in fact make a Blight. Crazy stuff.

2022-07-30 21:19:06 +0000 UTCRe: Ben's Robin idea, a tabletop RPG podcast I listen to had a joke where a couple of thugs who want to rob a truck decide to call themselves Robbin' and The Bat Man (who is armed with a baseball bat, natch)

2022-07-23 23:52:47 +0000 UTCControversial take I have is that the Lego Ninjago movie is pretty good. I would place it third out of all the Lego movies. You should watch the rest!

2022-07-22 22:09:56 +0000 UTCHeya, also, anyone surprised to see former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin's name in the credits? (Apparently among all his other ethics disasters I had forgotten that he endorsed Lego Batman, which is pretty tame for a member of the Trump cabinet.)

2022-07-22 22:02:50 +0000 UTCPlease do the 2 Lego movies!! They’re fun and Ben is going to love them. Plus it is about a Master Builder -it’s poetry. Come in!!

2022-07-22 18:41:02 +0000 UTCYMMV, but my 5yo doesn't know enough about Batman and the movie was a little frantic, so we didn't finish it. (For comparison, he loved the Lego Movie.)

2022-07-22 14:43:32 +0000 UTCGet Ben the lego typewriter. He'll look so fancy with that in the Hausoleum

2022-07-22 11:51:16 +0000 UTCGive LEGO MOVIE 2 another shot. It has only grown on me with time. And it kills me that we haven’t gotten another LEGO movie since then. Imagine if that team was able to give the MCU the same treatment they gave Batman. Just imagine…

2022-07-22 05:45:35 +0000 UTC"If you're wondering why this podcast is 5 hours, it's because we decided to [also do an off-the-cuff commentary on The Secrets of Dumbledore]" Don't threaten me with a good time.

2022-07-22 00:00:27 +0000 UTCOblique reference to maybe never doing Verbinski. Why is that? Is he a piece of shit and I haven't found out yet?

2022-07-21 21:21:04 +0000 UTCDave and Richard are the BEST! They totally won Lego Masters in my heart

2022-07-21 19:47:14 +0000 UTCAlso, I believe the Chip N' Dale script was like, 10 years old which is why I overlooked the meta humour of it all. Totally feel that humour wearing out its welcome (Thor...) but C&D was so damn fun it worked for me!

2022-07-21 18:17:07 +0000 UTCWhat a delight! Had I known there was a throwaway joke about Serendipity (2001), I would have seen this opening night.

2022-07-21 17:51:24 +0000 UTCMan I even played the Lego Rock Raiders RTS on the PC hahaha, I was 10 years old and could still be easily impressed by just seeing all these cool Lego buildings assemble themselves but you really never got to do anything particularly cool with the vehicles. Suboptimal

2022-07-21 15:39:33 +0000 UTCI worked in a bookstore in Northern California when Scott Pilgrim came out and it's a coastal college town so one day that summer Michael Cera came to town with his band. He came in and he bought a complete set of Scott Pilgrim books and signed a copy for one of my co-workers. He was super nice but he had this group of about 7 to 10 teenage girls who were following him around town all day, about a 100-200ft distance but anytime he went somewhere this group of teenage girls wouldn't be far behind. He was obviously a bit weirded out by it and it always stuck with me how weird that must of been for him.

2022-07-21 14:25:44 +0000 UTCSmartless is a good podcast. I’ve read some complaints where “it’s just these people telling each other how great they all are”, especially after the excellent Bradley Cooper episode.
