My own kid is 19 and I also find this delightful and really funny. Also, I am glad I don’t have to go to any more Minions movies.

Didn’t that police chief also have some kind of evidence of surgery too? Like his head had been grafted onto another body or something? I couldn’t quite tell.

Hello, internet stranger, just jumping on here to say I read your comment and thought I was looking for something different to listen to today, and so I’m down here, working from home, and listening to this and it is great.

When my daughter was little, I made the rule she could swear around us, but not at us. And it worked. She’s 16 now and a sweary motherfucker - but she’s nice to us (and other people). In my observation, the kids who can call bullshit bullshit around their parents are also more likely to tell them other things at all.

RHA (Reproductive Health act) just passed the house and is on its way to the senate. It’s a great bill, and I gave my state Senator a call about it.

The running gag of the school bureaucrat type telling endless boring stories into a Facebook live stream to an avalanche of likes and loves was so great. This cancellation is a bummer.

Just gonna hang out here in the grays and note that there are three stories about Bernie Sanders on the front page of Jezebel. Elizabeth Warren releases a bold, comprehensive plan for universal childcare which seems of particular interest to women and nothing but crickets here. My problem with Bernie Sanders is he…

I was wondering why that felt so familiar! I’d completely forgotten. Thanks for the info!

I’m no fan of Rahm, but I’ve had a kid in CPS for 12 years now and am a pretty big fan of it. The folks actually running the schools work really hard with limited resources. I’m in Rogers Park and our local HS is one that’s getting 100k from this. I have every confidence that the school administrators (principal, PTA,…

I’ve lived here for 30 years and don’t know anyone who was murdered. You may just have had some really bad luck. I’m so sorry that you have such an immediate experience with violent crime! 

I’m just going to shout into the void here that one of my favorite pop culture moments around this scene came from the truly terrible Madonna/Rupert Everett movie “The Next Best Thing,” when Madonna was trying to guilt Rupert Everett into staying home with her and their kid and he said something along the lines…

I’m so glad you wrote this, Will! I’m such a fan of this lovely little show and so enjoyed your recaps back when they were a regular feature. What a small, special treat this little show was. I may have cried like a baby throughout that finale.

Did you notice how they named the guy helping Axl get the job “Will Harris” which is the name of the guy who reviewed it on AV Club (man, I miss those reviews).

I don’t know, man. Pretty sure that was Checkov’s necklace

I’m a casual tennis fan too, and I think Navratilova is at least as (if not more) recognizable than McEnroe.

It’s not schmaltzy. But it is earnest, and sad, and sweet. As for audience, it gives you a little catharsis. You don’t weep and feel miserable; you kinda get a release. It’s not perfect, but it’s also not bad.

This show, I shirt you not, makes me happy. It’s an absolute delight.

There’s a pretty big space between goofing on HRC’s laugh and awkwardness and would rather hang with gross pussygrabbing “I’m a star” obvious racist.

I do that with my daughter all the time - make references to things that she’s too young to get. It’s to amuse yourself not the kid. So, I don’t think we’re expected to think Max would get it, but more that Sam is tickling herself.
