Surprised to see Soderbergh lose in the first round - expected it would be closer between them given last tournament. Bummed to see Haynes lose but expected it given how long it’s been since Mel’s been up, and Haynes is new enough I think odds are still good he gets covered outside MM.

Patreon-wise, Pulp Heroes losing in the first round a shocker given it was the runner-up last year. Surprised Scream had the edge over Freddy.

Prediction: 90s indie comics, the clear juggernaut over all these repeats. Give us the Tank Girl episode we’ve been promised since Stargate.

The only conclusion I can draw after both Soderbergh and Haynes exited in the first round this year is that I burned up all my goodwill with the Park campaign.

I prefer to think of it as goodwill well spent. That’s one of my favorite miniseries.

The Day The Earth Blew Up is pretty good! Well worth a trip to the theatres.

Marie should absolutely see The Day the Earth Blew Up at da movies, it has some really funny stuff in there and it’s so worth it to see the 2D animation on the big screen

For what it's worth, Black Bag was great (very popular opinion) and Novocaine was also great (mildly unpopular opinion?). It's sad that the box office doesn't reflect how killer the current lineup of popcorn flicks is.

Holding out hope for an Angry Alan Moore patreon or ending the year with Little Nicky, perhaps the finest of AS's work?

Excited for the my New York trip! Any East Village recommendations? Besides the Ice Cream museum-- that's already at the top of the list
