She's allergic to Peter's worstness.

I didn't notice the hand-holding but maybe there was a complication there they discovered that ended up on the cutting room floor? And maybe there was a reason as to why Will lied, other than screwing Alicia (not like that, minds-in-gutter!). Like Sims, I felt like this was a pretty confusing episode plot that maybe…

YA is such a huge, interesting and varied field these days I don't think you have to worry about most kids picking up Sweet Valley High. If one of your kids is a girl, though, do have some girl protagonist books around for her to pick up, though - it's hugely important. Babysitters' Club or Nancy Drew are the ones…

Hi folks! I spent a while abroad traveling (mostly India) so haven't been around these parts for a long time. As such, I'm kind of behind on all my usual pop culture consumption.

It's kind of sad that in 2013 people think a female protagonist means the show is a "women's show" in some sort of way, like this is a legitimate genre of any kind. I remember going to a second hand DVD shop once and asking if they had any boxsets of The Good Wife. The clerk showed me a shelf with your Grey's…

That poster reminds me of visiting Taipei and seeing the poster in a subway there - season 2 had just started airing in Taiwan, I think. It kind of tries to sell with the "will she cheat?" angle but even in my fiercest Will/Alicia shipper days, I think I was always more invested in Alicia's independence. I can't say…

It's unfortunate that it's a hard show to sell. Some people don't think "jilted wife who stays" is an interesting premise. Some people think legal procedural is always boring. Even when I try the "the best show about modern politics and current technology" pitch, it doesn't seem to work out. The feminist-minded…

I watched the first GI Joe film for Lee Byung-hun, who plays the white ninja-y dude, and because I wanted to see the 2nd one (for him as well) when it came out. Then it got delayed, then it came out and I never bothered with it. I guess the second one might be worthwhile after all? The first one was truly awful, I…

Fight Club everybody should watch at 13 so it becomes their favorite film ever, then rewatch at 20-23 years old so you can understand its importance in shaping your own critical thinking so you can now see why it's kind of full of shit.

Chris Jericho has his own pod now, Talk Is Jericho, but I'm excited to see him back on the Nerdist, because I just like the guy.

Haha, I was just watching a luchador shoot on Konnan in a web show interview, basically saying how he was an asshole who exaggerates his popularity in Mexico to make himself sound important to Americans. I'll give it a go, though my tastes can be different because I'm quite young and thus don't have nostalgia for…

Lists like these only make good sense when they bring up discussions, which this one has, so yay!

AV Club seems to mostly cover the LA comedian podcast scene, so yeah, I find myself listening to a lot of stuff not covered by them, whether it be special interest (like politics podcasts or wrestling podcasts or what have you) or just podcasts that fly under the radar, such as Welcome To That Whole Thing, which is a…

I have a few on my list that have women as hosts:

Your sales talk has convinced me to give it a go. Should I start from the beginning, a recent ep or what?

Art of Wrestling got a mention, too. Wrestling podcasts deserve to be all the rage - wrestlers tend to be great story-tellers, and even better gossipers. They don't make the best interviewers, but sometimes that can be forgiven because they're just exchanging good stories with one another.

This sounds like a pretty obnoxious way of NOT saying "I'm sorry I lied to you guys, I shouldn't have done that."

I was on a weekend away after "I Pet a Tiger!" came out and listened to it about five times during the weekend. Did not mind at all.

I have an explanation hope to the AV Club panel about that.

Yeah, it requires you to follow the thread from the personal story into the scene they do, and if the scene is good, it can run pretty long. I like it a lot, but I listen to it solely when doing stuff like dishes, sitting on public transport, taking a long walk, folding laundry etc. You don't need to stop everything…
