   @gulovsen was thinking about the little Joey scenes, and had to check the wiki to get my dates straight. he looks like the kid of, i think it was a Chex ad? but also the little baby from Close Encounters, also a very recent hit.

   the escalation of the questions was so slick. they had movie references like the turkish prison one (Midnight Express was hugely controversial & a box-office hit)

   then the fact it was the Mission Impossible dude asking them? it's still just too funny
