I'm so sick of this "Chalamet covers Dylan" thing and it hasn't even launched yet

Never heard of Glorilla until tonight and while I’m sure SNL has had worse musical guests in its 50 years on the air, I’m struggling to think of who that was. Give me those few minutes back.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I could listen to Downey (and Smigel) talk SNL all day long, although I'm not 100% certain I'd choose Carvey and Spade as the interviewers.

I think it has to do with music licensing, which has been a constant challenge for them in the streaming era. Both performances and skits that rely on licensed music are problematic for international markets; a lot of time the original song in a skit will get changed for streaming or syndication.

Bugs me that I can't see the Your Love / Josh Hutcherson sketch on YT because of licensing issues.
