Michael Waldron, the head writer of Loki and screenwriter of the upcoming film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness tells Inverse that it’s worth watching both — but it might not be necessary.”
Amazon CEO Jef Bezos announced this week that he’s going to space, and the late night show hosts mined the hell out of it for jokes.
“Jeff Bezos announced Monday he’s going to space on the first crewed flight of his company Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket ship. ‘As preparation for space flight, Bezos has asked his warehouse workers to show him how to pee discreetly into a tube,’ Colbert joked. But his ‘space adventure will be short, because the astronauts will experience weightlessness for only 3 minutes — or as Amazon warehouse workers call it, lunch.'”
