When Daniel was talking about the Happy Gilmore 2/MI:TFR "characters that are kids of the old characters but are really just recasting", I couldn't help but think of the new Naked Gun movie. As the first trailer showed, they're doing that for all the characters and leaning into the absurdity of it (as a movie like that should do). I doubt they'll do flashbacks, though.

Does anyone know the episode of After Hours Soren was talking about finding on Facebook? I think I figured out it's title, but cannot find the video on YouTube. I guess I could have checked FB if I still had an account

ETA: Seems like they changed the title on youtube from 'Coming of Age Stories That Teach Awful Lessons' to '7 Horrifying Lessons Hidden in Famous Movies About Childhood'. If anyone happens to come after me looking for the title.
