There's an Indian actor named Kamal Hassan and every other Kamal listed on the English Wikipedia is a dude, so I figured it was a solely male name.

Kamal is a man's name, though, isn't it?

Cool, both the horror movie/academia podcast and the Bonnie and Maude one seem promising. I'll be checking them out.

I finally started listening to this after seeing it mentioned on the regular in this here place. I dig it. I listened to a bunch of podcasts about movies, and this one had the most listenable flow of conversation, which felt organic, not all-over-the-place and was fun to follow even when I was mildly distracted…

Misread the headline as "With The Good Wife cancelled" and my fucking heart sank all the way down to the floor, until I re-read and phew.

It's 19 years old (premiere at Sundance 1995). I rounded up.

I still need to catch up with Person of Interest but it's a damn good show, for sure. Lots of great action, and mysterious characters we actually find out about, little by little, so it doesn't drown in the puddle of unsatisfied curiosity.

I managed the unthinkable: I watched a 20 year old movie with a twist ending that everybody seems to always reference, without actually having been spoiled for it. That's right. I had actually never seen The Usual Suspects. And now I have! And I was surprised! Suck on that, Luke's father Snape who killed Dumbledore!

I lived in Korea briefly for school so I saw examples of all of these, but I thought only the primetime high-budget ones were called dramas. Thanks for the education! I believe a few of the most popular historical ones have been translated and put out on US DVD, because I have some (non-Korean/non-Korean-American)…

Bones is a prime example of a show that basically pulled a lot of viewers in with the will-they-won't-they and then did everything to yank the carpet out from under all the audience members, regardless of how they felt about Booth and Brennan getting together. Retconning their whole dynamic in that one episode was…

Liked this comment for the description of Psych-megafans. Truly, the internet contains everything.

We were all young(er) then. I remember liking the first season fine, recommending it to a friend of mine who loved comics, and she, being more of a completist than I am, ended up watching EVERY SINGLE DAMN EPISODE of this horrid trainwreck. I ended up apologising for recommending it to her, but had a lot of fun…

I didn't watch most of the last two seasons but this wrapping up of the whole show has been pretty fun, and that episode slayed me. More, please.

There were some damn fun episodes in the fifth season so I'd say yes.

Huh, in my understanding most primetime Korean dramas are only 16 1-hour episodes, which is roughly about the same as a US TV season of a show. At least that's how it was back when I first got into them. (I was pretty into them around 2009-2010, and still have a few, like Capital Scandal and Coffee Prince, as DVD…

Bones. I was in it for the kind of silly procedural fun, but then they fucked up the "one of our team is aiding a serial killer" super-serious plot line and just left a bad taste in my mouth. I still watched for about half a season but it was something I was sitting through out of obligation, not enjoyment, and I just…

Home-run episode for me. I couldn't stop laughing. Pretty much every character shone here, even the ones who didn't get all that much to do (like Diaz, who mostly babysat Gina, the Paris of people). Terry's party coaching and everybody trying to take advantage of their areas of expertise (including Hitchcock's…

I feel you, only Hulu's ad breaks saved me from running out of oxygen.

I will now ruin your joke with an anecdote: one of my friends has an ö in her last name, she signs it as a line above the o, almost like a straighter ~ so it looks a bit like õ, but since that's not an actual letter in her native language, people read it as ö. I find that's fairly common practice.

Agreed.
