## Resource

Odds and Ends: How's Myspace doing in 2026? Oh...; we talk about the drama, er, The Drama, with capital letters, because it's a movie title, so it's a proper noun, and those are capitalized. Just a lil bit of knowledge from yours truly. Feature Film: Our feature film this episode is... not a feature film! It's a miniseries by Satoshi Kon, who we've covered multiple times on the show, but still have yet to discuss one of his actual feature films. Anyway, this is a show, not a movie, and it's about a bunch of sad people or whatever and a very happy boy with a bat. I think so, at least, I'm not used to watching TV shows, so I get confused very easily. Why are there credits every 20 or so minutes? Those are just supposed to be at the end! Next episode's movie: Daddy Can't Dance (2012) You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST! Available in podcast form on all your favorite podcatchers!
