Wiseau really was ahead of his time. I mean, who else managed to so perfectly capture AI writing decades before it existed?

I'm so glad you finally got around to covering this masterpiece. There is simply so much to take away from the sheer brilliance of The Room and Wiseau absolutely stole the show.

So what you're saying is the pained open-mouthed delivery of "I did NOT" is actually a foreshadowing detail of the reverse O-face to come? Bravo, Tommy.
