Editor’s Notes: Really though, don’t watch Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. | Jack Black appears in The Office S5E14-15 “Stress Relief” in a fake movie called “Mrs. Albert Hannaday” | The Terminator’s few quotable lines may, in fact, be considered good, but I would not praise the dialogue in that series on the whole. —Andrew

Alex the Rebel and Andrew the Saint are back from the holidays to talk about a little bit of everything, from Godzilla to creativity.

Only time—and listening to this episode—will tell!

Movie, The Marvels, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire, The Boy and the Heron, Godzilla Minus One; Beautiful Boy; Doug TenNapel (@dougtennapel); Cuphead; Over the Garden Wall / The Blasting Company, Leaf by Niggle, James Gurney (@jamesgurneyart)

Let the reader understand.

Editors Notes: The Lead Singer Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance is the comic book artist, not the lead singer from Good Charlotte. He’s created The Umbrella Academy and co-created Peni Parker and much more.
