Briarpatch was a perfectly decent show that never lived up to the star power of the folks involved. Rosario Dawson! Kim Dickens! Alan Cumming! Sam Esmail producing! It was mostly OK!

My dad is not exactly in the Clueless demographic, but he always loved that scene where Don Hedaya tells Christian, “Anything happens to her, I got a .45 and a shovel. I doubt anyone would miss you.”

Yeah, lord knows I had more fun with Psych and Burn Notice than I ever did with The Sinner, Briarpatch or Dare Me.

(Mr. Robot was very good, though)

I don’t know which famous British actors ABC had in mind for King Richard, but it’s hard to imagine Galavant working as well with anyone besides Omundson in that role. It’s tough to play a character who is simultaneously ridiculous and kind of menacing and fundamentally sympathetic, but that’s Omundson’s odd little…

I feel like AV Club writers are just making up streaming networks to prank the readers. “Fandor?” That’s a rejected Lord of the Rings character.

“You sir are a raging psychopath. Don’t ever let this town take that away from you.”

Well, just about every word of that is profoundly awful.

Today Ryan lives in her van with her plant.

The last season swerving into speculative fiction was such a weird, admirably ambitious swing. Some of it worked really well - the Limon stuff was great, and the conversation between Jules and Limon about Jules’ love for Jim and cocaine was probably the funniest thing I’ve seen this year. Some of it didn’t - the first…

My issue with TurboTax is less the aggressive upselling (I have no problem clicking “no, leave me alone” a few times) than the fact that they start charging for basically anything beyond a straight-forward federal return. State return? Costs extra. Do any freelance work and have a form 1099-MISC? Costs extra. 

“Sentiments cribbed from clearance TJ Maxx throw pillows” is a glorious phrase and I applaud it.

I don’t know what it is, but there’s something hilarious about the idea of Mads Mikkelson on a Zoom call. I mean, even the thought of Mads Mikkelson saying the words “Zoom call” is pretty funny.

There’s a scene in The Last Crusade that illustrates why great schlock is an art form all its own.

Your last paragraph touches on something I’ve been sort of thinking about off and on recently. I think it would be interesting to see a version of Gotham City that isn’t some kind of crime-infested hell hole, which is a portrayal that’s sort of a relic of the period in the 70's and 80's when Batman was becoming more…

Apparently crummy movie notwithstanding, Stewart’s run on The Daily Show was legitimately brilliant. But he was always prone to the old American satirist’s fallacy of the “common sense solutions.” There are clear answers to our biggest problems, and they’re not ideological or partisan, and we could pass them in a…

The whole sequence on Titan is entertaining because of the sheer quantity of stuff going on, but it only reaches greatness toward the end of the fight when it’s just Stark and Thanos, and Stark is literally throwing everything he has - every bit of tech, every amazing invention, every product of his gifted mind - at…

I watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit a month or so back after not having seen it for many years. What struck me was how short and tight a movie it is. I remembered a lot of individual scenes, but sort of figured there was a bunch I was forgetting, and it turns out - nope. I basically remembered the entire movie.

I’ve never been a Rage Against the Machine fan, but my understanding of their lyrics is that they’re basically, “We have very strong opinions about politics/And here’s a PowerPoint laying them out/In very great detail.”

Radcliffe, in general, seems like a really pleasant, intelligent, well-adjusted guy, though obviously you never really know what celebrities are truly like.

I’m reminded of the group that put out video of Ocasio-Cortez dancing on a roof in college to the big song from The Breakfast Club, smugly assuming everyone would think she looked ridiculous, and instead people just thought she seemed cool and fun. Someone tweeted, “So, the big scandal here is that Alexandria…
