"Boy, millennials cannot get enough of little kids riding around on BMXes solving mysteries (remember Goonies?! remember ET?!)"

Wasn't that our (Gen X) thing? Aren't those our movies? Don't let them take Encyclopedia Brown!

Why does it look like Jamie Foxx's tie was added in post?

I've got something to tell you. Something that may shock and discredit you. And that thing is as follows: he's not wearing a tie at all.

Riddle of Fire also uses the animated Hobbit font and might also be a play on the Riddle of Steel from the first Conan film. Blah.

Saw posters look like some edgelord nu-metal BS.

Peter Dinklage doesn't look like a Snake. Is he playing the Songbird? Please let him communicate only through bird whistle trilling.

"Here’s a poster for Joan Baez: I Am A Noise, a documentary about the famous musician who became the first star to wear her clothes backwards.

She influenced so many, from the Mack Daddy to the Daddy Mack."

Never change you SOB, never change.

"And look at the ground: he’s making snake tracks!"

Looks to me like he's tracking the snake. Unless he's walking backwards, which would be amazing if done by a snake.

The Royal Hotel looks like a fictionalized take on 'Hotel Coolgardie' in which some of guys who the two women (I think Finnish) served and hung around with weren't so much rascals as predatory dumbshit bogans. Good watch though!

Like an Australian redneck, basically. Australians have as many words for redneck as Eskimos have for snow.

Only comment this week is that whoever designed the "Quiz Lady" poster is obvisouly a fan of Goodfellas. Good call Vince.
