A fleet of Loudoun County Public Schools buses delivered 6,400 free breakfasts and lunches to 263 stops around the county today. This is the kind of good news I love to see right now @LCPSOfficial loudountimes.com/news/lcps-prep… via @LTMnews

@jowrotethis Thanks, Jo! 😁

The Passage!

@MalloryRubin @jowrotethis At some point in the discussion, you mentioned a sci-fi book series CR turned you on to. Was it "The Expanse" series? I can't remember exactly but I'm looking for a new read in that genre...

"When you're lost in the darkness, look for the pod..." I loved #TheLastOfUs premiere and I loved chatting about it with my favorite mushroom enthusiast, @jowrotethis. You can have this deep dive, but we're going to need the plastic bag back. open.spotify.com/episode/35xOVF…

@TheAcademy *extremely Gen Z voice* Tom Holland and Zendaya

@TheBigPic @SeanFennessey @akdobbins How do you two watch so many movies for work without it feeling too much like…work? Y’all watch hundreds per year and still speak about film with vigor, passion and joy — not to mention balance it with your marriages and, in Sean’s case, parenthood. What’s your secret?

Have a question about the year in movies? Well lucky for you, we're doing an end-of-the-year mailbag on @TheBigPic. Reply here for a chance to have @SeanFennessey and @akdobbins answer it on the pod:

How on God’s green earth is this already a thing

Every Tom Hanks movie is a Christmas movie; I will not explain this any further

Please show me the difference

@jasongay's "28 New Rules for Thanksgiving Family Touch Football" is the funniest thing I've read in awhile (via @WSJ)

Y'all talking about no shave November but I'm here for Noah Baumbach November

@SeanFennessey Never seen a Joachim Trier movie — any recs for an intro to his work, anyone?

Apostrophe war crimes: spicy edition 🌶️
