The perfect Cohen song for trump is “The Future” honestly, I was shocked that SNL was so obtuse as not to use it when they could have.

They put the second 30-minute ep on Youtube, if that helps:

I’m just waiting for Quibi to fail so Peacock can buy the Mapleworth Murders and I can pirate full 30 minute episodes instead of these bullshit 9 minute “episodes” that are clearly just one act of a 30 minute episode. It’s a funny show! 

The full series is streaming on Hampton DeView. Borrow someone’s login and check it out.

I feel like the general rule of thumb of these is gonna be:

what an asshole!  she’s lucky she got away from him so early.

He was an asshole all around. That date was really uncomfortable to watch. I’m betting he voted for Trump.

Speaking as someone who married for love, I’d like to point out that it’s no less insane a reason for getting hitched than any of the others.

If anything, the piece was criticizing the show for filtering its Indian-ness through an American lens that tends to focus on one type of story, hence the comments about the lack of South Asians on the production team, the issues raised by South Asian critics, and the feedback from South Asian audiences. 

So . . . you’re saying he should be THANKFUL he was unceremoniously fired for clear and obvious discriminatory reasons after being a vital behind the scenes contributing creative force of a legendary television show for nearly thirty years?

Have you ever made a comment here that isn’t the absolute fucking worst?

gonna go out on a limb and say that anytime someone opens up and confides in a person, literally entrusting them with personal details, and the other person’s response is that it makes them untrustworthy...that other person is an asshole.

It’s fine as both a campy horror movie and a comedy, but it works surprisingly well as a movie about aging, institutionalization, and the fear of irrelevance. The overall lunacy of the plot prevents the whole thing from being too sentimental, but it’s fundamentally a movie a sweet movie about two elderly and maybe…

This was one of those movies which I recommended to all my friends instantly after I saw it while also making it clear to them that the plot of the film will make absolutely no sense at all. Like when I was talking with a few after seeing it, we just kept cracking up while trying to explain motivations of key…

You know, Todd blames the alcohol and Tony's prodding of Janice for Bobby's attack on him, and the way that the scene is structured, it's understandable that the viewer would think that. But what actually is the seed to the fight is the Soprano family's complete disregard for the finely tuned rules that the Parker…

I wondered about that. I think she simultaneously really cared for Johnny and was angling for a chance to meet his son. And for the great unasked question, I think she totally thought she had a chance at becoming Tony's goomar. I think her self delusion was just. that. great.

Tony B. calls him a "rip-off artist", which makes no sense at all.

What?  Kim doesn't try to shake him down, he says "So partner, we open in three days?" and that's what sets Tony B. off.

This epsiode is, in a nutshell, why I always hated the Tony B. storyline.  He was just a walking, talking plot device/metaphor.  Never a real, consistent character.  It never made sense why he so abruptly went back to the mob life after going to back-breaking lengths to leave it all behind.  In one of the least subtle…

Is this like a book club, where the assignment is to watch one episode a week?  Because I watched all the episodes back to back a few months ago, which to me is the most satisfying way to experience a series (just finished the full 4th season of Breaking Bad and it was absolute heaven).  In any case the fifth season…

I never thought of this while watching the show, but the description here makes it sound like a direct shout-out to Huckleberry Finn describing a steamship accident:
