Cup of Jones - October 28, 2019 - Audio (Patreon)

Now that our YouTube channel is awash in review after review, a fair amount of questions this week inquire at our process behind-the-scenes. Why were some reviews skipped? How does the process differ when I edit my own stuff? This is one of those Cup episodes that either features quick one or two-sentence questions that are focused on a very specific point, or much broader, paragraph-sized questions that aim to kick off a major discussion. Thankfully, we have time for both.

PERSONAL QUESTIONS

MORGAN MOHALLA - With Halloween around the corner, what is the best candy and why. Chances are I will go out and enjoy this candy based on your recommendation, please try to make it as appealing as possible. JONES - It’s impossible to pick something that someone else is guaranteed to live. I think Snickers is always a crowd pleaser, but every time Halloween rolls around I positively gorge myself on Brach’s Mellowcreme Pumpkins. Only Brach’s though. Accept no substitutes. This stuff is absolutely despised by half the world’s population, so there’s a good chance you’ll hate it. Or already do.

MEGAN LINART - I’ve got tickets to go see The Lighthouse this week and I couldn’t be more excited! Just wondering if your planning on seeing it? JONES - Probably not while it’s in theaters, but I love everyone in the cast and it looks like an absolutely enthralling movie. I’m very curious about it. I’ve seen a lot of people cite it as a reason Batman fans should be chill about Pattinson playing Bruce. Apparently it really shows his levels of depth as an actor, and how far he’s willing to go to get into character.

DANIEL RIBEIRO - In a time of injustice, punishment is the only form of justice. Let's talk about The Punisher movies. JONES - I’ve never seen the 1989 Punisher. Crazy to think it came out the same year as Burton’s first Batman film. I recall really being moved by Frank losing his family in the 2004 movie. I saw War Zone but mostly tuned it out. I just watched a scene from Warzone (in the curtained room, where he’s spinning and swinging a lot) at some point this year, actually. The intensity was there, but it was hard to stay invested.
