The Saturday Night Live version of the third Republican debate was more entertaining than the original. Though they missed an opportunity by leaving out Nikki Haley calling Vivek Ramaswamy "scum".

Mini-review:
I loved the first one so much when it came out, but I wasn't very sure it needed a sequel, so I went into this feeling rather wary. Thankfully, I stand corrected: it was just as good as the first. It's such a realistic, incisive and empathic portrayal of anxiety and the beginning of puberty. I really do think the way the story is told makes it relatable for pretty much everyone. And it packs quite an emotional punch, which hits you just as unexpectedly as it did in the first movie. One of the things I loved from the first one was the moments where they played around with the animation, so I was really happy to see them experimenting again with different styles and aesthetics. Long story short, Inside Out 2 is definitely a worthy sequel and a surprisingly resonating experience.

SNL needs to time things out better, so we get at least 3 sketches in the back half, but tonight's episode is the best one since October. Just fun having Kristen's vibes back, and I hope the show manages to carry that energy on for next week Ryan Gosling episode. Excited to see cut-for-times later.
Very nice use of Dismukes and JAJ tonight. (But use Longfellow, show! He is a star! Should not be shutout of episodes!)
This is either number 2 or 3 of S49 depending on how I feel in the morning.
