This is my current favorite rendition of this joke.

Awesome! I will definitely give it a try.

I definitely didn't see the show that way, but this is one of the best discussions of the show I've had with someone who disagrees on its quality. I enjoy debates, so I'm not shy about bringing up my dissenting opinions, but it's rare for someone to reply with much more than "Christ, even Breaking Bad has a backlash…

That Billie Eilish track actually popped up on a Spotify Discover playlist for me a couple weeks ago! I added it to my personal playlist after. I dig the video, too!

Agreed completely. The entire cast gives such lived-in, authentic performances. If I had my way it would win Best Ensemble at the Emmys (among other things).
I was mildly apprehensive going into season 2, knowing certain characters wouldn't be getting as much screentime, but I ended up loving it just as much as the…

Your comparison to Tarantino is apt, I think. His melding together of styles and influences is clearly something Gilligan and his team aspired to. As much as I'm ragging on the show, I do think they were successful in many ways. The roster of supporting characters was generally excellent, and when the writing…

Watched Everybody Wants Some. It was fun. Not top-tier Linklater. It was too broad and reliant on tropes to have much insight into the characters, and not quite funny enough to work as a full-on comedy. It's charming and good-natured, though, and the cast is really likable, especially Zoey Deutch, Wyatt Russell,…

I like Wanna Be even more. Daggers is also excellent, and Pretty Shitty is super catchy. Teenagers is definitely the most immediately ear-catching, I'd say, but the whole album is rock solid.

Damn, you were quick. Absolutely agreed about Bloodline being underrated. It's a great show, IMO, and isn't often recognized for it. Really excited to tackle the final season, even while being slightly bitter that it's ending so soon.

I thought it was really atmospheric and intriguing and well-written, but I remember waiting for the atmosphere to coalesce into something more, and that never really happened. In retrospect, that may have been part of the point, and it was perhaps my own issue for expecting more traditional story beats in a work that…

Sounds good! Let me know what you think when you get a chance.

He is one of the main reasons Hillary lost, so "good" is too good for him. Taking down Trump is the least he could do.

Her review/merciless takedown of Rogue One was awesome.

I am also a fan!

I'm not sure what contributions Fight Club has made to the form. It's highly talked about, sure, but it's not really known for being an innovator, or, as far as I know, a huge influence on young filmmakers. Fincher is a great director, and absolutely worth studying, but a film student could learn at least as much…

I get where you're coming from, but it's also kind of second nature for most people to root for the protagonist, regardless of whether that character would be considered a good person in real life. Also, in something like Breaking Bad's case, the show very much tried to have it both ways - sometimes Walt was…

One more! Check out Ex-Cops if you don't know them. Teenagers will make you dance your ass off. And Wanna Be is a gorgeous pop song.

Awesome! Do you mean non A.V. Club methods? Whatever works better.

It was temporary. I believe as of last night or earlier, he's back.
