Also, Charlie Chaplin made Hitler funny first! And Hitler's art before that, I presume.

Sure, nothing should be off limits. But I get that a family, even a former first family, wouldn't want to relive their family member's disease (an especially cruel disease) for humor.

That seems pretty fair. Alzheimer's is one horrifying son of a bitch.

Always an upvote for Loud. That's how I found out about Kvelertak. Very excited for their new album.

When Bowie died, I said, "I should really take some time to fully appreciate Prince." …I still need to take that time…

I liked how that episode handled Tracy Morgan's controversy. Apparently he had trouble doing the episode himself, though I couldn't really figure out his own frame of mind with the whole situation.

That traitor Lando??

I enjoyed other episodes more than this one. But it remains true that the dopest beat…is in here. I'm pointing at your chest.

To summarize their critics as a personification of Godwin's law, wrapped up in Asians who are generally the safe minority to skewer (as reiterated with the #Oscarssowhite Asian segments), left a sour taste in my mouth. Maybe the controversy was trumped up, but it wasn't nothing.

That was a profound read for me.

Burr by Gore Vidal. I'd always considered Gore Vidal smug and stuffy, as I only knew him from talk show appearances. While he definitely is very satisfied with himself, the writing is lively and he makes Burr a fascinating literary figure. Though the historical Burr gives you plenty to work with himself.

Who cares who Rey's mother is? Her father is just going to go bang his true love that he's been harassing all through his late 20s and early 30s seconds after finishing a nine year story about her anyway.

The Riddler's too close to joking. Warner Bros. will never go for it.

Now I just want Daniel Day Lewis as Batman.

Hey, it's a very appropriately sized penis demon at least.

I loved Blueprint to Armageddon, though that's just because I'm really into WWI history. Yes, the military stuff was too much, but I appreciated him trying to drive home how horrific everything was, so that we didn't numb to the numbers.

He sounds like the most knowledgeable guy at a bar ranting over loud music for three hours. I love it.
