Star Wars The Clone Wars: Question 1: Clovis provides a most interesting example of a man who ends up as nothing more than a manipulated pawn in the game of the Clone Wars that’s being played by the genuine master that is Darth Sidious. What’s your summation of Clovis in general, and how he wasn’t exactly wholly good or wholly bad, though certainly shady, and a bit of a creep? Question 2: One thought I had in revisiting the Mace Windu/Jar Jar Binks two-parter was that I thought it would have been better, and funnier had they paired up Mace with C-3PO. Related to that, my rather warped brain went to the idea of a whole story arc starring 3PO and Palpatine, say on some diplomatic mission of some sort, and how hilarious and ludicrous that would have been. Supposing they went with either idea, what would you have thought? Andor: One aspect of this that’s been great has been Genevieve O'Reilly’s portrayal of Mon Mothma and how she’s continuing to operate in the Imperial Senate whilst secretly being a leader of the Rebellion. One such aspect that particularly shines is how it parallels how the Emperor led the double life of Chancellor Palpatine and Darth Sidious in the days of the Old Republic. What’s been your thoughts on how Mon has been given the focus that she’s had, as well as your thoughts on the double life she’s living? The Midnight Club: First, I again wish to say that for what it’s worth I am sorry that this show did not do well enough views-wise to justify you continuing to react to it, I am sorry about that, Jess. Question 1: Compared to the previous Shenanigans by Mike Flanagan, this show’s been much more deliberately paced, which I've found to be intriguing. What’s your opinion on the pacing of this show? Question 2: A major highlight of this show was showcasing the different coping mechanisms one would have when dealing with impending death, particularly when one is quite young. How would you summarize your feelings as to how this show has focused on the myriad of differing coping mechanisms? House of the Messy: Question 1: As we’ve reached the end of the first season, Alicent has emerged as my favorite of the show, and one of my favorite characters, quite possibly in my top ten of the Game of Thrones franchise, largely in part due to the brilliant performance of first Emily Carey and then Olivia Cooke. What’s been your take on Alicent’s character thus far, the performances of both Emily and Olivia, and going forward, what hopes or wishes would you say that you have for Alicent, besides, I would imagine you would wish for continuous phenomenal acting from Olivia? Question 2: Likewise, Otto emerged as a close second for being my favorite of House of the Messy, largely in part because one, I do love a good villain, and two, because of the performance of Rhys Ifans. It's like you’ve said, when you have a great actor playing a villainous and/or unlikeable role in a genuine way, you really appreciate the talent, if nothing else. As of the end of the first season of House of the Messy, what’s been your opinion on Otto? She-Hulk: Question 1: A major highlight of this was the return of the brilliant Tim Roth as Emil. How would you summarize your thoughts on Tim’s return as Emil, and how the show had us wondering had he really turned over a new leaf or not? Question 2: Supposing this gets renewed for future seasons if it hasn’t already been, any specific thoughts or ideas you’d like to see be explored going forward, beyond presumably more Madisynn? Unless, of course, they’re saving her reappearance for The Odd Couple Adventures of Madisynn and Wongers. Star Trek: Question 1: Any further thoughts or comments on how Spock of all characters has proven to be quite the fashionista rocking iconic look after iconic look time and time again? Question 2: The last episode of season two was meant to kickstart a spin-off show which never got off the ground. Say for sake of argument that it had become its own show would that have been something you would have watched? Related to that, I could make an argument for the show being made today. Supposing they did make the show today, again would it have your interest? Highlander: Now that there’s been some time to digest the insanity of this movie, just any further thoughts or comments that you have to say about it? Aladdin: Question 1: A highlight in rewatching this again was comparing the difference in acting styles with the portrayal of Jafar. Specifically, over the years Jonathan Freeman has brought a grand and dramatic over the top theatrically to the role much like Ian McDiarmid as Darth Sidious. By contrast, Marwan Kenzari played Jafar with a more subdued and reserved energy similar to Aidan Gillen as Littlefinger or Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower. How would you summarize your opinions on the difference in acting styles in the portrayal of Jafar? Question 2: Related to the above question, and possibly a redundant question, you made mention how you preferred the newer portrayal of Jafar. I’m wondering if you could go into more detail as to your opinions as to your preference in the newer portrayal of Jafar? And no worries if your opinion of the older portrayal is less than flattering. Seriously, you can be as honest about it as you wish, it won’t be a problem. Question 3: I found it an interesting change at the end how Jafar wishes to be “The most powerful being in the universe” rather than explicitly wishing to be a genie. Do you have any specific thoughts or comments about this change? Question 4: Anything further you wish to add about how delighted you were that Jafar didn’t turn into a giant snake in this newer version? Question 5: I’m curious if you’ve seen the original direct to video Aladdin sequels and what your opinion of them were. Related to that, with the upcoming sequel to this newer Aladdin, would you want the filmmakers to recreate the plots from the original sequels, or would you rather they create something new, or perhaps some mixture of old and new plots? The Haunting: Question 1: Any further thoughts or comments as to how we never once see a ghost in this and how it adds to the eeriness and the atmosphere of the film? Question 2: Now having seen this, how would you compare the interpretations of Nell, Theo, and Luke versus their counterparts on Hill House. Related to that, in this film there is, most unfortunately, no Shirley. Any particular thoughts and/or anything you care to say about Shirley not being in this film? Psycho: Maybe you mentioned this before, if so, I apologize for my memory failing me. I’m curious if you don’t mind my asking, when was your first-time seeing Psycho, and what was the experience like for you?

Just wondering if you've recovered from watching Snakes on a Plane? I respect that you tried to watch most of it even though you have a phobia.

Jenny Chalek

A followup: did any specific incident trigger your snake phobia, or is it just a generalized phobia? (I have a generalized phobia of spiders for no apparent reason, so I can sympathize).

Jenny Chalek

The Birds: how is it to see a modern interpretation of characters, which seems to paint the female protagonist as a stalker, vs. seeing what it was in the context of the times (wild woman). Because she sure comes off as a stalker.

Andor: episode 6: The Eye. How awesome was the juxtaposition between the beautiful celestial event and the mundane struggle between the empire and everyone else? I was overcome by the beauty of the Eye on Aldhani and would love to hear if you had any thoughts about it.
