Constantly falling behind early, and needing to fight an uphill battle every night, is one of the reasons the Devils are sitting outside of a playoff spot and felt it was necessary to move on from Lindy Ruff.

So I was pumped that she made time to record this conversation in my hotel room on my recent visit to L.A., where she lives with her husband and 3-year-old daughter. We had so much fun that we kept hanging out for hours after this recording.

Like many things that happen on Twitter, Game of Thrones discourse is quite tedious. When the first episode of House of the Dragon debuted in August, boring discussions about the show’s “misogynistic” flaws collided with peoples puritan views on violence on screen, making it clear that the discourse that surrounded Game of Thrones over a decade ago, was still alive and well.

Fighting games have never quite been known for their stories, but they certainly have always been interesting, whether that’s the time travel shenanigans on modern Mortal Kombat, the magic shenanigans of Guilty Gear, or the healthy crotch-kicking contest between the Mishima men in Tekken, fighting game plots are certainly all over the place, often bending to the needs of the recent character roster. Street Fighter is no exception. For a series primarily meant to be about a fighting tournament, you’d think the plot would be pretty straightforward but no, it’s surprisingly complicated and gets pretty strange.

Editor’s Note: In the next few weeks, we’ll be posting the audio from a 6-part course on biblical imagery. If you’d like to join the upcoming course on deconstruction, sign up here.

It was jarring to learn that The Creator isn’t a Star Wars movie, comic book spinoff, or an adaptation of a high-profile YA series or graphic novel. Movies rarely look this “big” anymore unless they’re glorified advertisements for something else (a toy, an expanded universe, some kind of lifestyle brand by other names). A movie that’s just selling a movie? That qualifies as refreshing these days. The Creator is a throwback in many ways, to things that should probably just be norms.
