neutral · AI labelView post →Riz Ahmed’s new show BAIT is phenomenal. Ahmed plays a struggling actor trying to audition to be the next James Bond, but the show explores the complexities of being a POC in the media and his Muslim family/faith with sharp humor and great cinematography. March 25 on Prime Video.

Thinking of hosting a series called The Bait Club, where we play Debate & Switch in @jackboxgames.com Party Pack 12 and maybe pick a loose theme beforehand each week. Would anyone want to guest on a stream like that for some goofy discussions? We'd get spicy, but not too serious.

neutral · AI labelView post →Dev would be good. He's also 36 like the other candidates. But Ritz Ahmed would be perfect, especially after Bait, his recent TV series where he plays himself as a candidate for Bond. Handsome, debonair, fit. Only thing is, he's a little short at 5 foot 7.
