  4. Empty netters live streamed the three of them watching episode six from their apartments. Normally when they've done a live stream related to hockey about five minutes beforehand there were a few people in the "waiting room" waiting for the podcast to start, and it gradually increased as people trickled in. Five minutes before they started their live stream of episode six, there were 10,000 people in the waiting room. They are the podcast that Hudson Williams mentioned on the Tonight Show. (watch it on 1.5X... you can totally understand, & it saves time) Chris wore his glasses for the live stream. He said it was just in case Ilya asked him to put them on. I knew before I started watching that at some point Chris's Wi-Fi froze. It turned out to be just before Shane brought the sweater out to his mother so they had to stop right there and wait for him to get back. You can jump forward a lot at that point. It is really a fascinating watch because I practically know the episode by heart. All you see is the three of them watching it and commenting. You don't actually see the show and oh my God they got so emotional. Chris and Sean each had to step out of frame at one point because they were so overcome and Dan looked like he was gonna cry when he heard about Ilya's mother. They are hilarious. When Shane was blowing Eli against the window in the cottage Chris said I want the cheeks against the glass shot. When Ilya was in the lake he said I want lake sex; Dan said you keep making comments that show you have a horrible sex life… Water is a terrible lubricant. It turns everything into two sticky plastic bags. So they're happily watching as the boys come up from the lake and I'm saying to myself oh if they only knew what's coming… OH MY GOD! SOMEBODY'S THERE! WHO IS THAT? NOOOOOOOO! DAD WHERE ARE YOU GOING? THERE'S 15 MINUTES LEFT IN THE SEASON. THEY CAN'T BLOW IT UP LIKE THAT. Dan got so emotional watching it that when they did their review of the episode he said I just want you all to know I am drenched in sweat and he lifted up his arm and the pit stain went down to his ribs along his side and to his bicep on his sleeve.
  5. I wound up watching reviews of all six episodes by two different hockey podcasts. After watching the one posted earlier in this thread, I watched their review of episode six and a few few days later decided to watch the rest so I googled hockey podcast heated rivalry and because I am either an idiot or Ilya's father (or both), it wasn't until I got up to the review of episode five and realized it was not the one I had previously watched that I realized I was watching different people. Each one had two hosts and their producer/engineer and all six men are straight and all six love the show about as much as any of us, which was fascinating to watch. All six love the "Skip" episode. One of them is called what chaos! and one of the hosts there looks a bit like a young Matt Damon when he's not wearing his glasses and the other is called empty netters and it's two screenwriting brothers who are based in LA named Dan and Chris. Their producer/engineer is Sean who is from Ireland and he made an interesting point. Ilya should easily be able to get citizenship on his own, which Sean knows about because he went through the process himself. Ilya would be considered a skilled worker since almost no one else can do what he does and he brings a lot of money into the economy and since he's been living in Boston now for eight years… Sean said athletes should have one of the easiest paths to citizenship. He also had the best line of the season when they reviewed episode four and Dan and Chris were talking about the end when Shane was banging Rose and Ilya was jerking off in the shower and they were obviously thinking about each other. Sean said Well, they were both looking into the camera, so I choose to believe they were both thinking about me. Dan looks kinda like Tim Daly in Wings so while watching Chicago Med tonight, I kept chuckling because Chris looks absolutely nothing like Steven Weber.
  6. @NickFoles Note for the Broncos and their fans: I know it has been an emotional 24 hours. I feel for Bo and the team, and I'm sending prayers for a strong recovery. A positive note going into the game versus the Patriots is that they struggle against backup QBs in championship-type games. 6:34 PM · Jan 18, 2026
  7. They both seem to cum at the same time and you don't really see Shane jerking, and Ilya says "Are you...?" As he's cumming, so maybe we are to think it happened then.
  8. The university of Indiana started the season as the losingest football program in major college sports. They ended it yesterday as national champions and the first team ever to finish a season 16-0. Their quarterback's name is Fernando. Care to guess what song was blaring after the game?

  10. If the father is a bigot who doesn't want to see his son play a fairy for all the world to see he wouldn't give a damn if Ilya spent 98% of the series feeding orphans and rescuing puppies.
  11. it's my interpretation… At the All-Star game in episode one when Ilya's room was next to Scott's, It seemed like Scott picked up on something when Shane and Ilya were talking on the bench (especially since his ear would be more attuned to that sort of thing than straight players) and add that to the comment about starting to sound like him, and… in one scene in one of the episodes Ilya says something about having made Shane cum hands-free. I don't actually remember that being remarked upon episode two... on the stairs after they fuck when they talk about the Olympics
  12. I loved the whole thing but the last two episodes were INCREDIBLE.
  13. When they finally fuck... I know Ilya's supposed to have lightning fast hands but after Shane pulls the condoms out of the drawer, is one actually used? It doesn't seem like it. Btw, I love the song that plays as Shane is deflowered. When Rose asks "Did you not notice Miles is gay?" I thought it was very kind of her not to add "when he danced with us and was right up against you." Since Scott knows about them (the only fight Shane's ever gotten into was after he trash-talked and Scott said you're starting to sound like him) will season 2 feature a 4 way, in which case, will Ilya fuck all three and will Shane be fucked by all three (and will they use condoms)? (cue the soundtrack: this... is... not... enough) Do you think there was a particular purpose to Ilya and Scott both being 12 when they lost parents?

  15. Dog wins award for movie performance, beating actors including Ethan Hawke “He’s standing alongside performers who didn’t even need to be bribed with treats,” said film director Ben Leonberg, who also is Indy’s owner. January 16, 2026. Many people wish they could spend more time with their dogs. Director Ben Leonberg took that idea to extraordinary lengths, spending three years making the horror movie “Good Boy” with his dog, Indy, as the protagonist. Last week, Indy won best performance in a horror or thriller at the Astra Film Awards, beating out five Hollywood stars: Ethan Hawke, Alison Brie, Sally Hawkins, Sophie Thatcher and Alfie Williams. “I feel incredibly lucky that I was able to make a movie where I essentially just got to play with my dog,” Leonberg, 38, told The Washington Post. Indy, a Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever, in “Good Boy.” Image Source: Ben Leonberg. One scene in the film shows Indy getting caught in a snare. On his back, Indy vigorously shakes his body to try to escape. In reality, Indy was enjoying a blissful moment while shooting, wiggling during a belly rub from Leonberg. Through editing and ominous music, Leonberg helped make Indy look frightened and desperate. The suspenseful movie follows Indy as he protects his owner from evil forces only the dog can see. Indy spent more than 400 days in front of Leonberg’s cameras to eventually take home the prize. The annual contest is judged by journalists, critics, filmmakers and others in the entertainment industry who are members of the Hollywood Creative Alliance. Indy, an 8-year-old Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever, didn’t attend the ceremony but wore a black bow tie over his copper-colored fur in a video acceptance speech. Indy left the talking part to Leonberg. “Indy is honored to accept this award,” Leonberg said, “especially knowing that he’s standing alongside performers who didn’t even need to be bribed with treats.” [beause no human actor had a rider.] Other actors who won awards at the ceremony included Timothée Chalamet, Michael B. Jordan, Amanda Seyfried and Ariana Grande. Matthew Weiss, executive vice president of the Astra Film Awards, said he was a bit surprised when he learned the majority of the Hollywood Creative Alliance’s roughly 325 members voted for Indy. It wasn’t that Weiss didn’t enjoy Indy’s performance — he voted for Indy himself — but Indy was the first animal to claim an award in the ceremony’s nine-year history, Weiss said. The “fresh” perspective Indy and “Good Boy” brought to the horror genre warranted the honor, Weiss said. “It’s just his innocence about him that kind of connected the audience to him,” Weiss said. When Leonberg and his wife, Kari Fischer, got Indy in 2017, they had no plans of their dog becoming a performer. But Indy was connected to film since he was a puppy; Leonberg named him after the movie character Indiana Jones. For years — after seeing a dog in the opening scene of the 1982 horror movie “Poltergeist” — Leonberg wanted to make a horror film from a dog’s perspective. Leonberg started shooting Indy in short videos to see how he might approach filming the movie. Leonberg made a short film starring Indy that won an international contest in 2019. Viewers seemed to like Indy, Leonberg said, so he cast his dog in the lead role for “Good Boy.” In the spring of 2021, Leonberg and Fischer rented a two-bedroom country house near Morristown, New Jersey, where they planned to live and film. Indy is about 19 inches tall, so Leonberg designed a camera rig to meet his eye level and spent much of filming on the ground or bent over, because the movie is from Indy’s perspective. Leonberg used footage from their lives — such as Indy running between Leonberg’s legs every morning — so Indy’s performance would appear authentic. Being a smart pup, Indy picked up that he was supposed to do something when Leonberg set up his cameras. There were early hurdles. Leonberg spent about five months filming outside with a rain machine until Indy nailed the scene. Indy could usually act for a few hours before becoming distracted, so Leonberg aimed to film one shot per day. Some days, even that was difficult. They also used verbal cues, sometimes quacking like ducks when they wanted Indy to look in their direction. Other times, they raised a treat or a tennis ball in the direction they wanted Indy to turn. They brainstormed words Indy didn’t understand — like “neon sign” — so Indy would tilt his head in confusion. Sometimes, Indy didn’t need his owners’ help to act like a professional. Once, he was following a kibble trail when he suddenly looked up and raised his ears when he heard a bird outside — a movement that made him look shocked on film. Leonberg finished filming in the summer of 2024 and created his plotline suspense through editing. “It doesn’t look like it’s a dog who’s trying to figure out what his parents are doing,” Leonberg said about the finished product. “It looks like a dog who’s really intently vexed by this dark corner where there’s an invisible force.” Leonberg said if Indy has any supernatural ability, it’s his talent to find tennis balls anywhere — under couches, at parks and in drawers. “Good Boy” premiered at a film and TV festival in March in Austin, where Indy won the Howl of Fame Award for the best canine performance. But Indy’s stardom reached new heights January 9, when he received the honor from the Astra Film Awards. Since filming ended, Indy has had more time to enjoy his favorite hobbies in his family’s Bozeman, Montana, home: playing fetch and napping. But his acting career might not be over. Leonberg said he has thought about a “Good Boy” sequel.
  16. We checked prices at NYC grocery stores for six months. Here’s what we found. - Gothamist GOTHAMIST.COM Without official data, tracking prices is more art than science. But still, there were some clear trends.
  17. By the way, did you notice how much Ilya was shoveling in the spaghetti in the last scene with the parents? He even adds two spoonfuls of cheese to his plate during the scene, and he winds up playing almost the whole scene with food in his mouth. I saw an interview where he was asked if that was either in the script or a part of the characterization and he said no, I live in California, and we don't do a lot of carbs out there, so this was just me taking advantage of the opportunity to enjoy something thing that I usually don't eat. And somebody pointed out to him that at one point when he's slurping in a large amount it almost looks like he's doing a little dance with his shoulders and he says it looks like I'm saying I love food! I love food!
  18. Are Sprouted Potatoes Safe to Eat? Here's What Experts Say APPLE.NEWS Settle the debate of whether or not it’s safe to eat sprouted potatoes.
  19. I watch with closed captioning and he says Hey Hollander but it comes out as almost one word, so I think that's what you heard, rather than a mispronunciation that late in the production.
  20. You mean The Exorcist wasn't as hilarious in the book, Jaws wasn't as boring, and The Godfather wasn't as long and overrated? The Exorcist remains one of the best comedies I've ever seen. I believe I have posted this story before, but it was re-released a few years after it first came out and a bunch of us from my neighborhood went to see it. In general in my neighborhood, the boys were one to three years older than the girls so I'm guessing when we went it was mid to late teens for the boys and early to mid teens for the girls. We saw it at the midway theater on Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills and they were showing it with an intermission. At intermission, the girls were all begging to leave because they had been so terrified and the guys said are you kidding? This is hilarious. We have to see how it ends, so we stayed... and even though this was during the day and the girls could've left and walked to the corner and hopped a bus to go home, they stayed, too. It's such a happy memory whenever it comes up!
  21. My best friend watched episode one yesterday and said it was fine but is there going to be any actual depth of emotion between them? I assured her there was. She just finished it and said it was very good and she liked it a lot. The hockey podcast brothers previously mentioned in this thread have gone viral for their enthusiasm for the show to the point where Hudson mentioned them when he was on the Tonight Show. They pointed out something very obscure. When Ilya first enters Shane's hospital room, the first time we see Shane's monitor it reads around 100 and when Ilya walks over to him and takes his hand and Shane's eyes close and he says better, the number starts coming down. Right when the nurse comes in, the number, which had dropped to 80, becomes 81, which is Ilya's number. That can't be a co-inky-dink.
  22. SNL Video: Finn Wolfhard's Harry Potter Gets Romantic With Ron In Heated Rivalry Parody - TVLine WWW.TVLINE.COM Harry Potter meets Heated Rivalry as Finn Wolfhard's Harry gets romantic with Ron in an SNL parody — watch it here. This week on "Saturday Night Live," host Finn Wolfhard played boy wizard Harry Potter in a parody that mashed up the upcoming "Harry Potter" HBO series and the buzzy gay hockey romance "Heated Rivalry." Harry and Ben Marshall's Ron Weasley innocently bumped into each other in the halls of Hogwarts, and there was a spark between them immediately. "You dropped your wand," Ron told Harry, and their hands touched suggestively as Ron told him, "It's lovely, by the way." ("I'd love to see yours sometime," Harry replied.) "Heated Wizardry" also saw Harry and Ron stretch out before a sexually charged game of Quidditch, with Harry showing Ron he had no pants on as he zoomed by on his broom. Hermione tried to keep Harry on task, but he preferred spending his time fumbling with Ron underneath the invisibility cloak. "What's the spell to make something bigger?" he asked. Harry continued flirting with Ron via messages sent by an owl: "See you at the match against Slytherin. Then you can Slytherin... to my bum." Even Hagrid —played by Jason Momoa! — knew what was going on: "You're a homo, Harry."
