I really enjoyed this one, and Barry at the end just makes me love it more. There’s nothing I love more than Other Barry (maybe one or two things, but not many things). As for another season...I dunno, man. This season has been solid, and without Walter it feels like doing another entire season is just pushing it when…

People spent a lot of time wondering about Cecily, Kate, Kenan, Aidy, but Beck leaving SNL is actually a sneaky big loss. He’s essentially been SNL’s glue guy during his tenure. A consistently solid performer that makes every sketch he’s in work. He was in the mold of Phil Hartman/Jason Sudekis where they may not be th…

I was one of those who didn’t recognize Bruce Campbell’s voice during the episode, and therefore feel reeeaal dumb when I look at the still at the top of the article. All I thought was that McGinley looked like yet another possible-Archer’s-dad, which, yeah, he totally does.

I have to say I was expecting the reveal of no body, but...

“Nope, wow. She’s real dead.”

... was very funny, and I’m glad they did it as well. Didn’t need another nemesis out there always surviving somehow.

Speaking of which, when’s Barry going to show up this season?

This one was legit probably my favorite episode to work on the character layouts for this season, though they dumbed down the shot of Reiko throwing the octopus which makes me sad. 

How could you possibly miss Krieger talking about how much more effective actually throwing a smoke bomb is in one of the funnier lines?

Ka-kow! 

Once again Campbells golden rule of higher the pay, smaller the role is sadly proven correct. 

Dingo was surely an extra Frisky Dingo reference as well right? Seeing how it kind of shaped Archer ( the show)

That’s an A episode from me. Best episode of Archer in a long time

I enjoyed this one a lot. It was great to see “smoke bomb” both in Krieger’s version and in its stronger, practical execution. Sure the backstory is a stretch this late in the game (and the Katya erasure is real in the “true love” stuff), but the overall episode worked quite well. (Also, I’d say that the “dingo ate…

It was like Scorcese was being very careful not to insult the mob at a time when even Hollywood was under their thumb

I was cautiously optimistic; while the show is very rooted in its time, it also has a lot of focus on America’s post-Camelot decline, and every story/character is stuck hanging onto the “Good old days,” or trying to live up to the legacy of their forebears. It could’ve worked, but I’m not surprised it hasn’t.

The problem with Scorcese films in my opinion as a NYer who grew up with mob figures and friends of the mob in the 70s is that the movies always took itself too seriously. It was like Scorcese was being very careful not to insult the mob at a time when even Hollywood was under their thumb. The Sopranos lets down that…

Diet Scorsese Cola is still better than Pepsi Clear.

I can’t help but wonder if any form of Sopranos prequel would be able to work. A huge part of what made The Sopranos work so well was its milieu—the pitch-perfect representation of America in the late 90s/early 00s, the autumnal unease of it all. It worked because it mirrored the state of the Mafia, and threw its…

we can’t all be beavis & butthead do america

I’m unsure about the comics version, but I haven’t seen the MCU version of Killmonger advocate for or attempt genocide. If the past decade of paying attention to national politics has taught me anything, it’s that the donor class will destroy democracy before they let the poor and the brown have a meaningful role in…

I’m sorry but T’Challa’s basically Prince William. He’s earned fuck all!

I don’t know, sounds like a pretty positive ending to me.
