After listening to this week's episode of THE READ, where it was suggested that Madame Morrible and The Wizard in #Wicked and #WickedForGood should've been played by Sheryl Lee Ralph and Keith David instead of Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum?

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

The look on my face right now as I watch Winona Ryder on HOT ONES, and then rewatch her appearance in the Criterion Closet:
a cartoon character with hearts in her eyes is sitting on a table .
Alt: Dot Warner lying on a desk and kicking her legs as she smiles with hearts in her eyes and above her head.
