🕑 Added 2024-02-06 14:00:12 +0000 UTCWe've survived atmospheric rivers and dudes boost-boarding down the street with giant VR things strapped on their faces to bring you this ramble about Vinny's small-town off-the-grid Internet, the inner workings of the Metroid password, the many uses of J-B Weld, and more.

Yeah, agreed, get through the movie while everything is still fresh in their minds. Return can wait til they're good and ready.

Oddly enough the new Andre 3000 got a vinyl release and a cassette release.

My two cents: Do Fire Walk With Me pretty soon (and maybe also Missing Pieces), and then take a nice break and palette-cleanser before The Return. Like several months. It's not at all like a long-delayed season 3. It's its own thing that's more akin to a sequel.
