Hi everybody, I'm Leonard Malton.

And I'm Jesse Malton.

You are listening to Malton on movies.

And if you happen to live in the Los Angeles area and still read the LA Times, as my wife and I do,

then you have the privilege and pleasure of reading Justin Chang.

He's the senior film critic for The Times.

And I don't mean to embarrass him, but I think he's brilliant.

It's true.

Which doesn't mean that I always agree with him, because often I disagree.

But what I get out of a film review is good writing and good thinking.

You are a brilliant writer. That is, that is, and punster, of course brilliant writer that is that is and punster of course

oh world-class punster anyway welcome justin thank you leonard that and jesse and that means the world

coming from you and i'm really in it for the puns i mean the film criticism thing is just it's just

a massive trojan horse for wordplay, really.

So, but thank you. That means so much. Thank you.

If I'm most upset about Twitter becoming X, it's that it's such a mess and we don't get as many of your puns anymore.

And that's the real tragedy here, because they are just chef's kiss, you know?

Oh, God. When I think of them, I mean, they are sort of, and I know it's like, and just everything
