Is this a shitty catch phrase? You bet your sweet bippy it is.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

With all the worthy artists and entertainers struggling to just survive these days, The New Yorker wants us to focus our interest in that old chestnut, Louis C.K.'s redemption arc. Keep it up, mainstream corporate legacy media. You guys are crushing it.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

My all-time favourite Stoppard anecdote
Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:
His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

This week's theme is directly from one of my regular players.
They guessed it for a previous edition of the game and it struck me as a really great connection idea!
So listen and see if you can identify enough of the movies to reveal what the theme is.
I bet you can!
