Damn, what a perfect season. I honestly don't care how not funny Gretchen's storyline was, I thought it was genius for the show to look for humor in the peripheral characters while allowing Gretchen's arc to play out. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like it on TV before but I'm super grateful that it came when it

Are trash juice and riot juice not fundamentally the same? Both seem like basic variations of everything I drank at every frat party throughout college.

I actually had a long conversation with my best friend about her boyfriend's depression and when I tried to awkwardly ask if she had watched the show, she said that was actually how he broached the topic to her in the first place. It's amazing how this half hour comedy has been able to facilitate a conversation about

I only realized after binging the entirety of iZombie last week that Robert Buckley was Clay on One Tree Hill (sidebar: he somehow looks so different yet also entirely the same??) so that joke was incredibly timely for me.

I spend the majority of my free time consuming pop culture but these polls stress me out. The ones we're only allowed to write in an answer inevitably don't get answered because there are just too many potential answers. I mean, I read the AV Club religiously and also somehow don't feel qualified when my "best show"

Even these out of context clips are making me cry. Zach Gilford destroys me in this ep.

Weird, I actually just started iZombie, and since I'm not going home for Thanksgiving this year it looks like I have PLENTY of time to binge watch

Last year we had a massive thanksgiving (18 people) and did turkey AND individual quail (each person could get a half) and it was truly the best of both worlds

Dance movies are my crack. I am so here for this and have been since I first became aware of its existence. Even though it appears the series as a whole might have some issues as by the season long review, I will probably love it anyway.

The video of Lin reading the passage about her as an old woman from the Chernow book and tearing up is so amazing.

I seriously think I wrote this exact comment somewhere else. I need Hamilton on EVERY PLATFORM so I can keep talking about it

In my Hamilton obsession I actually searched here yesterday to see if it had been covered in any way and was kind of surprised that it hadn't been, if only because it's become such a cultural phenomenon. And look what today brought!

I spent an absurd amount of time reading every single genius annotation, and now apparently Miranda's own annotations have gone up. It's incredible how something that might seem like a throwaway line is actually some detailed historical reference

"Charmingly smug" is such an accurate description, just thinking of Jefferson gleefully chanting "never gon' be president now"

Oh man, I'm seeing it in March and that's exactly where my seat is, but I've also been obsessively listening to the soundtrack so maybe the point will be moot.

Sounds like a Lawrence Weiner. Sometimes curators don't even put up the text, just the instructions on how to make a certain piece. Conceptual art is all about the idea as the practice and the results are negligible. Of course then there gets to a be huge issue w/r/t the market and how people still sell pieces that

Love it, saw them live when they came to NYC.

I will not #sayyestothejess no matter how much he redeemed himself in later seasons. Rewatching Gilmore Girls over the past year just showed me how terrible of a boyfriend he was to Rory, even if he was "acting out". While I agree that he did give Rory the kick that got her back to Yale, the Rory of season 6 was not

I'm about 2 weeks out on turning in my thesis and working at an art advisory in the NYC hellhole art world - I think I'm just sensitive because this was something I was looking at writing my thesis on (current topic is tangentially related - still pop culture adjacent) so I'm really aware of it when I see it on TV.
