Good Morning, World




Mike Faist isn't just sweating it out in a sauna with Christopher Abbott this week -- he's also on the cover of this month's GQ (or British GQ at least) and there are a lot more photos (plus words!) over there. But I was really only drawn to the three photos of him in a tank so that's all I am sharing. This interview is, as have several this week, pushing the narrative that he went and disappeared from our lives post-Challengers, but honestly -- doesn't it feel a little early in his career, as much as I like him, to be acting like some gigantic gaping hole (hey, minds up here) was left in his absence? I mean no offense and I get the "strike while the iron's hot" mentality but I feel like Comeback Narratives should be reserved for people my mother could name, or at least recognize. Anyway that's what his people are pushing so whatever, go with grace. I look forward to East of Eden anyway. When I have time to watch the damn thing.

He and his co-stars were on The View this morning. I hope he can be as good as James Dean in the movie version.

Jason, I feel like you would dig this list. Lemme know if there are any glaring omissions!
