The exclusion of My Brother, My Brother and Me seems very odd to me, not only because it lead to the McElroy family building a podcast empire, but doing it from a place of relative obscurity. Serial is huge, but that was hardly the first first NPR has produced a important piece of investigative journalist. Marc Moran…

The thing about the ubiquity of alcohol in university/college settings is that it is largely ubiquitous because everyone expects it to be ubiquitous; it’s just another permutation of the aphorism about tradition “it’s that thing we do because it’s the thing we’ve always done.”

I didn’t drink -at all- during my first…

The McElroy Brothers Will (Not) Be In This AVclub List.

That aside, I think I tend to listen to very different kinds of podcasts than most people - all the true crime stuff blends together, and I’d probably rather eat glass than listen to a politically-focused podcast. I really enjoyed Reply All and Heavyweight in the…

Well, that looks...like GTA crossed with Fortnite. Which is really to say that it looks a whole lot like a video game.

Is it just me, or does the way Scooby is talking seem way too…intelligible? Almost like it’s a normal person talking, with dash of Scooby. I want to be able to strain to understand him! And in the scenes where he was a puppy, the things he says, he sounds like he’s already an adult. I guess I liked the way the…

I’ll bite.. as a heavy travaller, while I can’t (and won’t speak for EVERYONE on the plane, I can give some reasonable answers to this):

They better had fucking paid him before this because yeah, this is bad press if not.

It’s almost like what they needed was a big, tentpole franchise movie that subverted all those old stereotypes and killed the past, both symbolically and literally, while showing that the dream of a Jedi hero coming along and single-handedly defeating all the evils in the galaxy was nothing more than an illusion...

LITERALLY in the preview.

He’s not on the Marauders team.

Unfortunately, this is probably the prudent thing to do in today’s political environment (in addition to being consistent with long-standing university policies). Iowa’s governor is Republican and the House and Senate are both Republican majorities, and they’ve already shown their anti-education colors by reducing…

I love how in-character Peridot offering up the coda is.

I really miss the “Best Anime of This Season” articles that Kotaku used to do. They used to lead me to a lot of great gems. These articles are borderline useless, to me at least; it’s just a huge diarrheal dump of everything coming out with no way of knowing if any of it is worth watching.

Wasn’t she fridged as part of that horrible Kraven storyline where they also killed Mattie Franklin (after Bendis made her a drug addict pimped out by her boyfriend) for the sole purpose of that moment that itself needs to be fridged in comics forever: the hero about to kill the villain but another character reminds…

Huh. This generation has its Lady Marmalade. ... good for them, but I like mine better.

I must increase my bust!

Friends, I don’t know how to make clearer in an article marked impressions that this is my early experience with the game and that it’s been a complicated experience. I’m eager to play more and see what might change, but at the moment this has not been a particularly enjoyable play experience for me even acknowledging …

Either Japan shows itself to be a reductive society that is still in the 1950s in terms of sexuality or the remake of this game actually try to hire new writers to change the story. And yeah, disappointed that Catherine Fullbody is what it is, when it supposedly tries to tell a story about young adult sexuality and…

Man, what a time to be alive. And here I thought the past 10 years of Marvel movies were catering to my geeky comic book needs, but between Comic-Con and now D23, there’s more comic shows, cartoons and movies than I can keep track of!
