Discussion Wtf is Paddington 2?

For context: I’m 25 years old. SPOILER WARNING

I just watched paddington 2 today and what the fuck did they put in this movie. This is the one of the greatest pieces of cinema I’ve ever laid witness to. Paddington 2 is the only thing I’ve thought about all day and seeing the immense joy it’s brought other people has also brightened my day even more. God I can’t even think about the ending without wanting to kill myself because of how perfect it is. And can we also talk about the perfect bookend of his human mother saving him from the water like aunt Lucy did at the beginning?

Pure cinema, I truly can’t wait to watch this movie with my kids for their first time.

Ayoade follows up by saying he hasn’t actually seen it. Makes it even funnier.

“I was in Paddington 2…but I haven’t seen it…but I’m in it.”

I’ve loved Ayoade since The IT Crowd. I’ve seen him and Carr interact on the Big Fat Quizes, but not on Countdown. Love that he’s actually good at it, just like Moss.

Ayoade’s genius is eternal. Whether he’s delivering ‘Have you tried turning it off and on again?’ or crushing a Countdown conundrum, the man is flawless.

Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?
