Another In Case You Missed It: AVClub started reviewing the excellent "Fresh Meat", from the "Peep Show"  team.

!!!!

The gender dynamics and gender identities on this show are also, I think, worth noting. It might be one of the best examples on TV of how teens/twenty-somethings think about gender and (at least het) sexuality. Josie sleeps with lots of guys, but there's almost no slut-shaming (sans Kingsley, who gets called out for

Yes! Thanks for covering! Now let's spend the next 12 hours talking about how strong Zawe Ashton's performance was this series. Part of it was that the writers decided to make her more than just the resident delinquent, as Rowan mentions, but Ashton made a character who could have been hateful and cartoonish into the

I'm going to watch it to figure out how she time travels. Because that's the only reasonable explanation for the American Apparel sweatshirts and clearly just-purchased-at-Forever-21-this-summer dresses that everyone seems to wear in the ads.

One of your statements might explain the other.

@avclub-d019eb089e65903455cc52308f00b997:disqus Freshman year of college, a friend and I realized we both loved Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and decided to force all our friends into a screening.

I would say that Robin Hood and Roger from 101 Dalmatians have informed my adult dating choices in a worrying number of ways.

How could we all have forgotten that one? The song is good, not great, but Gene Wilder's performance and its use to introduce the Chocolate Factory knocks it into stellar.

What I want (because I agree that maybe musical TV shows aren't possible) is more movie musicals, in the mold of old Hollywood musicals. The big numbers, big colors, shmaltz and sentiment. Maybe Les Miz will inspire other, better, adaptations. Here's hoping.

Lily's Eyes is a beautiful song—plus, male duets are hard to find, and when done right, they're incredibly powerful. I think it's sad that The Secret Garden never really gained much of a following.

Martha, we should be friends. This list is near-perfect.

What teenager didn't??!! Certainly no one in my group of friends!

Pirates of Penzance was my favorite movie from age 3-7. With Catlike Tread is fantastic, and Kevin Kline totally steals the show: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

I love how they stage it in the movie, in the beautiful two-story library with color-schemed costumes (down to the socks!).

Yes. YES.

What 5 year old girl didn't have a crush on that fox??

I love the Step in Time sequence in the movie! All that jumping from roof to roof and acrobatics over chasms!

This is the greatest article the AV Club has ever published. There's so many I want to name!

There was a gaming store near my college where you could rent board games. My friends and I, being the type of people who rented board games, decided to go one evening, around 7 pm. There happened to be a "Magic the Gathering" tournament happening. Nothing against the game, but never in my life, not even in
