I think Stranger Things would agree with you.

What this list tell me: the 21st century was a time of perfectly fine, well made movies (some occasionally pretty great), but no director / set of movies pops out as so much better than the rest (we don't have one Hitchcock, but like 4/5 kind-of Hitchcocks).

Balance!

I skipped over the Daily Show / Colbert interviews routinely. The problem with the Nightly Show was the panel was the bulk of the show, two segments. So, take the panel out, and it's basically a Wilmore monologue.

I remember when Lochte "broke out" in the wake of the 2012 Olympics,there were a few "hot takes" that he was stupid….like a fox! It was all an act, he was a secret genius, and the stupid persona gave him free media coverage. Of course, an impossible-to-prove hypothesis.

I guess it's back to the island for her, huh?

I have put duct tape over my mouth, demonstrating my voice has been silenced, because they didn't pick the one I wanted.

A large part of the anti-booze rhetoric comes from anti-catholic / immigrant sentiments from the late 19th century; it was conveniently grafted onto Christianity.

I see your point. You could also talk me into Hitler using the '36 games as a propaganda tool for the superiority of the so-called 'Aryan' race. But let's not lose track of the larger picture: as I understand from Patriot fans, Brady's in a jail or something?

I'd say the biggest outrage in the world of sports would have been the attack on the Israeli athletes during the '72 Munich games. Then maybe Deflategate.

Tell a Boston resident that the city is the same size as Tampa and their head will explode.

Boston fans have two big red flags against them: (1) it's so isolated from any other region / city that it can really think of itself as the center of the world; and (2) the large number of college students means there's an endless supply of bandwagon fans.

I like his podcasts with his regular friends. However, his celebrity guest podcasts are pretty bad, just a little too sycophantic and gears everything to a Celtics / Patriots story, no matter how tenuous. I've all but stopped listening to his podcast as a result, unfortunately.

Because reality is usually shit. In reality, Ramsey would have died of gangrene or something five episodes ago, and the actual battle would have been a 5 month siege of disease and starvation.

Hardhomme had a great surprising escalation. Like, holy shit, this is going down! Watchers on the wall was pure battle, a build up, flow, strategy, sacrifice. Different strokes, prefer the watchers myself.

I also hold a grudge against him for all those increasingly dull torture scenes with Theon. Really dragged down that season.

Seeing that picture of Ramsay: doesn't he look a little silly leading an army? The actor always plays him with that dumb twerpy smirk.

Eh, this break felt like pure plot service. Someone could have said "the Boltons betrayed us, they will betray you!" All mention of Robb's pants would have gone out the window. Better to have the Starks' odds so long.

Ha, I'm from Greenville! That confederate museum is the creepiest window-less cinder block shack in the neighborhood, I wouldn't be surprised if it's not open to the public. If you're here, hike in the mountains and go to the breweries.

Full disclosure: I have not seen the episode yet. However…the sitcom troupe of secret recipes and sauces! Our farmer's markets and local grocery stores are crammed with homemade sauces and dips, and damned if they all taste pretty much the same (except for differences which are pretty apparent, eg, hotness, certain…
