I recently bought all of Nabokov’s novels and novelas and I'm honestly a little surprised some of the novelas are sold separately at full price. Especially The Enchanter which Nabakov never published and basically just repurposed into Lolita.

Even if we leave most of them as their own individually sold books, either The Enchanter should have been published with the Nabokov short story collection or it should be sold as a "Two Novelas by Nabokov with" The Eye" they're extremely short and the text size is comically large but I paid the same price for each of them that I paid for Les Mis & War and Peace.

Listening to the Mank episode for the first time and they talk about how people have issues with the visuals (glossy and digital) and how people have issues with the audio (echoey and crackally like old films)

In both cases they're like "I see why people have their issues but I love it"

And yes the visuals of Mank are great and the audio of Mank is great, the problem isn't them being bad, it's that they absolutely do not go *together*. Having this glossy digital sheen juxtaposed with old echoey audio makes for a very strange experience in a bad way.

Also Sean says "People complain about the Orson stuff but there's so much more in here!" And yeah there is, so much more interesting stuff that could have been focused on instead of scenes full of Orson Welles being a corporate stooge villain. That's not a defense against it.

This is such a stupid petty post I understand if I'm downvoted or it's deleted.

Listening to the Empty Man episode and they discuss Prior's episode of Del Toro's CoC(k).

Did they ever end up watching it? No info on letterboxd.

If you the reader haven't seen the Prior, Cosmatos, and Kent episodes, I would highly highly recommend them, they are some of the best horror released this century.
