### Milestones and Ephemera

* Did I, antlers, add a bunch of goofy moon classes to the wiki? Yes I did! I even made a special infobox just for my new favorite podcast, The Chip Report.
* Moon wifi > cruise ship wifi
* Marie had a little trouble with the numbers because they all needed to be converted to moon numbers.
* Fosse, Beatty, and Brest are retired from the bracket. They always lose and have short filmographies? They'll just do them at some point!
* **REGION 1**
+ Murnau and Chaplin -- two cool chill dudes.
+ *Metropolis* was filmed in CHIP CITY, on a continent underneath the ocean.
+ Eisenstein didn't invent montage, CHIP SMITH DID!
+ If a silent film director wins, Griffin teased a one-reeler silent episode.

* **REGION 2**
+ Hitchcock II is up against a much *Lean*er filmography in the nest round 😉
+ ~~David's~~ Chip's favorite bracket is region 2!
+ Thank GOD this isn't like *Uncut Gems*/2021. This year is more like Spanglish or Grown Ups 2.
+ Griffin has a *Blended* blind spot.
+ The Maurice Lamarche cameo
+ A Welles series would have *great* bits.

* **REGION 3**
+ Tati didn't get demolished like they expected!
+ Neither David nor Marie want to do Cassavetes.
+ The big upset: Van Peebles beating Truffaut!

* **REGION 4**
   + Spielberg has only appeared on the bracket one other time, and perhaps performed poorly due to proximity to Pod Me If You Cast
+ Steven Spielberg's early films are better known than Dutch Verhoeven??? People don't know *Kontgat Picknick*?!?
+ Chip made that horrible photoshop of Griffin and David as Spielberg and E.T.!  And Chip *created* E.T., the species not the horrible puppet.
+ Brooks v. Streisand -- a heartbreaker. Are they going to do Streisand anyways? Maybe!
+ Marie has her knives out for Don Bluth! But David also pointed out there is a whole month of dog shit when they would have to cover *Rock-a-Doodle*, *Thumbelina*, *A Troll in Central Park*, *The Pebble and the Penguin*. Woof.
+ Cimino lost to Mel Brooks by a margin of 33.5%!! Wowza! Bye bitch!

* **Patreon**
+ The Moore Bond vs. Police Story match! Holy shit! They didn't know the results! Only 5 votes!!
+ Frank trounced the MUMMP.
+ Sorry, Pinhead. Ben Still loves Satan/Satan's work.
+ Chip and Satan: CURRENTLY ON THE OUTS! His bud Pinhead never phones it in.
+ Griffin: RoboCop 2 sucks nuts.
+ "Rocky" Hudson laid some haymakers on GOD!
+ Ben is a tin man stan

* Chip plays by OZ rules.

### Predictions

 Keaton v. Arzner in region 1 final
 Keaton v. Chaplin in region 1 final
 Hitchcock v. Welles in region 2 final
 Altman vs. Kubrick in region 3 final
