But he gets criticized basically constantly over his poorly implemented and extremely pro-business healthcare policy, the NSA scandal, spying on foreign leaders, his coziness with Wall Street, his handling of Syria…

Each panel game, by and large, needs one or two big names as host or captain to anchor it, unless it's something like Buzzcocks that pulls in a lot of celebs some other way, or it's been around long enough to be an institution like Have I Got News for You.

This is the laziest, stupidest, most missing-the-point-iest iteration of the old robocop commercials ever.

I blame Cecil Baldwin's smooth, sonourous voice. I have to listen to it in the middle of the day because how else do people listen to it?

It was started by one goon and two friends of his from the NYC Off-Off-Off-Broadway performance art scene.

It totally breaks down to the fact that Fink, Cranor, Baldwin and several of the other peeps are neo-futurists,so they're used to doing really personal, really political material.

What's happening to the short fiction collection they were initially gonna do? I've got friends who applied to that only to get the runaround.

I'd say the movie is unlikely, but then, Veronica Mars Kickstarter.

Next you'll be saying that feminists believe it's possible to enjoy problematic things while still acknowledging why and how they're problematic! POPPYCOCK!

It's an anthology film that juggles about ten different interwoven subplots, most of which are about only white people and all of which are about upper middle class or rich people. It's got a problem, m8.

Well no, see because in this case it's a rhetorical device designed to infantalize and mock the Abrams films.

Uh, setting aside meaningless slogans and the stupid games they use for padding it's basically the stock vacuous comedy podcast, and arguably the nerdist's handles the stupid games way better with extracurricular stuff like bowling.

Am I the only one surprised by how poorly Night Vale's fared? I dunno, maybe it's just the fact hat I'm drawn to it BECAUSE it's not another podcast by comedians with comedians about comedy, but I think it seriously outclasses Comedy Bang Bang and WTF, etc simply because it breaks that incredibly tired format.

His older standup material was a lot more interesting and inventive. He's one of those people who's kinda gotten much worse with age and success when it comes to his standup work.

Get me a cloud to yell at!

I'm confused by your question. The Time War took place chiefly during the eighth and War Doctor's tenures. One through seven predate the Time War, while Nine, Ten and Eleven are after it.

Except it rendered the tech irrelevant. The point of the show is that it's about how technology enables our impulses. and has the potential to make things worse. It never made Liam worse. He was always a shrill caricature with no plausible inner life that it's impossible to empathize with because even a toxic…

I uh, I never said unlikable. I said he was impossible to empathize with. Because he was a massive prick with no plausible inner life. You're confusing likability for empathy because you're stupid. Please stop being stupid.

If Into Darkness is a remake then New Coke and Coke are the same fucking thing, and I'm old enough to know that they're not so just shut up and listen for once.

No, sorry, it's kinda super important because Black Mirror hinges on your ability to feel empathy for the characters. That's why Victoria spends most of White Bear as a victim, that's why it's such a gut-punch when Callow has sex with the pig. Its power rests in its ability to connect the technology and attendant…
