I love this!! Coogler and the whole cast were so amazing. Arkapaw’s speech was incredible ❤️ as was Michael B Jordan’s! I 100% agree with everything you say here- it’s absolutely what I was feeling while watching the Oscars. I was sad that Sinners didn’t take home all 16.
All great moments! And I had a lot of love for a ton of movies, so didn't mind the love being spread around, but you could definitely make a very strong argument for Sinners in all 16 categories where it got noms!
sigh, the cupboards, make me understand (this is a great piece and as a non-parent I'm doing that crazy thing where I'm sending it to the parents I love without fear!)
Oh, I don't have a good excuse. I think the broader root cause is that my wife, whose brain works more systematically than mine, generally has a very clear order of operations to when she does one task and then another (for instance, in the kitchen), and I think what's understandably confounding to her is that I do have an order in my head in which I'm planning to do everything in a given category of tasks (including close the cabinets) before I leave the kitchen, but the logic as to what thing, in what order, is impossible to explain to somebody else outside of my brain.
[I know the cupboards matter to her, though, and I don't want any member of our increasingly tall family to bonk their heads, so I've made progress].
Great essay as always. And, if you come across any similar clips of aspirational male role models who are also professional athletes, send them my way? Philadelphia affiliations ideal, but we will take anything

I so appreciate this very thorough response and look into your brain!
Crying into my coffee! I think he make a great cover model for the Good Men Coloring Book...
I thought a LOT about the Good Men Coloring Book as I wrote this, and also just right now I think I got an idea for our next ep.
