.@justsheavassar and i (seen here after enjoying a wonderful shakshuka) joined the PCHH crew to talk Marvel's ECHO! The two of us and @ghweldon landed in a similar place - the pieces were all there, but the execution was lacking. Listen to the full chat :

THE MARVELS is fun. And light. And fun because it is light.
Tiresome superhero bros will insist that it is not fun. One such bro stood up after our screening like “Well that was the worst superhero movie since JONAH HEX.”
Good pull, bro. Wrong take but good pull.

We arrive in the haven of Iowa City, where we are greeted by the Queen of its Workshop. She is wise and beautiful and speaks in whole paragraphs, and she gives me a gift.
It’s her latest book of essays, and don’t get me wrong I LIKE her non-fiction though it gets a bit Jesus-y

In this week’s PCHH Newsletter, Linda lists the 39 headlines we collectively* suggested for the PCHH ep about NAKED ATTRACTION, and invites you to imagine us all happily tossing options back and forth. She then invites you to guess who suggested what.

A WRINKLE IN TIME doesn’t include the twin Murray brothers from the books.
The only other thing to erase Sandy/Dennis so completely was COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND DIME JIMMY DEAN JIMMY DEAN.
