I've been meaning to read them, and this episode got me to pull the trigger and buy the full set

Awesome episode, glad you loved it as much as I did! And highly recommend the original graphic novels - they are every bit as non-stop spectacular as the film, and have quite a bit more story content

The alien digestion in Nope was almost definitely a lift bc it also references the motorcycle slide at the end

Along with the phenomenal world building and animation, the music for this film truly sets it on the next level. It's burned into my brain

After the de-gloving rats and their terror at being gloveless, Michael responded with what in essence is the ALARA principle taught in radiation safety.

Her name is Starline. It's pronounced Star-LENE.

Um...I think you misspelled Star's name by her twitter handle
