Is there some reason that lightsabers can’t cut through stormtrooper armor?

For anyone who is on the fence about The Wilds s2 this is a spoiler but doesn’t give anything away.

Ben Folds does an extended cameo on the deserted island and even plays the piano

Not sure if that is played for laughs or not, but Ben Folds is a shockingly competent comedic actor.

Check out his episodes on You’re the Worst. Absolutely hilarious.

I am likely to have one or two euro trips later this summer. I think Wilds S2 is going on that download list.

I haven’t had a chance to watch the Boys yet.

Lefty acronyms need some curation, because at first I was like, Assigned Stormtrooper At Birth?

This is going to suck, right?

Probably.

A prequel that shows how the cop’s brother became the head operations/security guy might be interesting, but it doesn’t sound like what this is.

I’d be fine if they just did a whole new group of people and didn’t really continue the story from the previous season.

I think it will probably be a lot like 3% where the first season was great, 2nd season average, and 3rd season sucked.

I randomly ended up watching his episodes on Community and Drunk History within like a week of YTW. I was like how did I never realize he’s doing amazing comedic acting everywhere? Turns out that’s like his entire body of work but still, A+ for quality over quantity.

Final season of Barry was uneven but still some good stuff. Takes a while to get going but goes pretty bonkers for the last 3 episodes. Excited to see what Bill Hader does next.

And on the Ben Folds tangent: I met his ex-wife Kate years ago when she was an actress and she was totally the kind of woman somebody would write a song about. I was smitten.

Bill Hader the actor is doing another season of Barry. As far as what Barry does, NFI

Oh wow I thought that was the series finale. Interesting.

I thought the same thing, even though in the back of my mind I think I had read it was renewed for another season. Your post prompted me to google it. Certainly would have made for a reasonable end to all the storylines.

Which one. He is on number 5.

I think she was #2? The song “Kate” is about her. They were married for a pretty short time IIRC. She gave me a bootleg with a version of “Song for the Dumped” in Japanese on it, which I believe was subsequently released.
