You also probably know the major beats by now: a murder in an alleyway, a cascading set of pearls, a billionaire playboy who moonlights as an ass-kicker with a laundry list of emotional issues that can’t be locked away in Arkham.

It looks like thatFriendsreunion special is very much going to happen, but there’s a reason it’s taken so long to come to an arrangement. No, it’s really not that hard to get all the cast members together (just look at their Instagrams).

I watchedBetter Off DeadandSay Anything…almost constantly (the former more than the latter –Say Anything…is actually kind of a bummer), and the prospect of seeing Cusack bemoan his failed relationships while lording over an elitist record store was extremely my shit at the time....
