I think you mean “After taking a few years off due to… you know, widdle baby Twumpy Wumpy getting his widdle feefees hurt and forbidding anyone in the executive branch from participating,” because that’s actually what happened.

The Last of Us II is in fact quite brilliant, and is the rare sequel that reflects the original and makes it better. It marries narrative and gameplay in ways that deepen each.

The TV series actively makes fun of the movie.

Vampire$ is based on a much better novel by John Steakley. Dude only published two books but they’re both great.

Yep, you should spend your time on other things.

Sounds like you shouldn’t watch it, then.

Anytime you mention Karan Soni I’m gonna bring up that he also starred in Paul Fieg’s excellent series Other Space, now streaming in many places near you.

Okay, but can we all agree that Drive Angry is excellent dumb fun?

“I’m not gatekeeping,” the internet commenter said. “I just happen think that people who like this thing I don’t are nearly all very large children.”

You’re gatekeeping.

“All the music was best when I was a teenager” is real, but FLCL connected with lots of people who’d seen mountains of anime going back to the 60's & 70's. Many who were grown-ass adults in 2000-2004 loved & continue to love the first run of FLCL. Because it’s fucking great!

I know what I said.

What you’re saying is that Jason Momoa has a job for the next 40 years?

You’re objectively wrong about Epilogue, but based on The Killing Joke movie I think you’re right about Timm.

The first season of this was such an odd duck. It’s a show about the racial awakening of a black man, written and filmed before the murder of George Floyd, but aired afterward. Things changed so radically that everyone may as well have been using Nokia flip phones, it was such a time capsule.

Beyond that though, the…

Look man, I know it’s a different series and all, but the Batman Beyond finale they snuck into JLU needs a mention here.

Episode is titled “Epilogue,” 2x13.

You might also bring up “The Once and Future Thing Part Two: Time Warped,” 1x13, which also features Terry. It’s considerably less essential from a Batman Beyond…

This being Leverage, a “Nate was faking his death all along” plotline isn’t exactly out of the question.

The documentary is one of the most bonkers things. So good.

Thomas Was Alone gave me extremely strong feelings about the inner life of a vertical line. What a great game.
