Joel Cunningham's discussions

I listened to a few hundred episodes of Hello From the Magic Tavern and the way that show builds jokes and running bits is truly wild. Read more

I spent most of the past few summers heavily sympathizing with everyone out on the west coast. I don’t think I’m unique in having done so. Read more

Ugh, that’s terrible. Is anyone helping them maintain it? Houses sitting vacant are bad news. Read more

Cute dog Read more

I just got off a call with my uncle, who is president of Big Oil. He said he was about to stop polluting but then he read that dek and was like, you know what? No, I won’t. Read more

I discovered Temu a few months ago via an Instagram ad for a pair of Switch controllers for $4.98. Once I determined they wouldn’t steal my identity outright, I figured, why not? The deal wound up being even better—I ended up paying $3 for some reason—and the controllers (which usually sell on the site for around $25)… Read more

Rather than list every great movie with LGBTQ+ themes and characters, I’ve opted to defer to some lesser-appreciated movies that are every bit as good (or better) than more well-known favorites. Read more

We don’t do slideshows anymore! Read more

The “Essentials” plan is currently $49.99 paid in advance, but it’s going up to $59.99 on June 27. You can actually see both prices on the site now, depending on which link you use. Read more

I can’t imagine what you grew! Read more

I’m actually on the cusp of Gen X, so I just hate corporations Read more

Even if the original Ghostbusters never existed and 2016 stood entirely on it’s own it would still be garbage. Read more

Thank you, the. post has been updated to correct the error. Read more

Blank Check is my absolute favorite podcast! In contrast with Lauren, I’d recommend starting with a director whose movies you love and seeing how it hits you. Everyone tends to have seen M. Night Shyamalan movies so that’s a good place to start—and it was also one of their early miniseries so the episodes are… Read more

It’s a lot less than that for a family of 4—around $750 per person, per day, all-in. Still exorbitant but given it’s all-inclusive and the operating expenses, probably not as profitable as you’d think, and even then, only at capacity. If it was making money they wouldn’t be shutting it down. Read more

There was actually a dinner theater component. The second night, you have a fancy meal and there’s a musical performance and the First Order disrupts the show. But it wouldn’t work out of context as is, and even if they designed a whole new show, I don’t think it would be very satisfying unless they completely rebuilt… Read more
