To my point, Trump was a regular presence on TV in the 1980s. A horrible, regular presence. I remember seeing Gremlins 2 at 9 and recognizing the Trump joke, and being grateful to Joe Dante.

You have company. I first saw Donald Trump on the Tonight Show. I was six. He was 40. And, if I had known profanities at that age, I would have told my dad that Trump was a piece of shit. As it was, I simply realized that he was a massive jerk and a moron. My opinion has not changed.

CRAZY THEORY - In the opening, Jimmy rats on a shoplifter, then tries to help him, then collapses. What if Jimmy is now experiencing EHS? I realize it's on the nose, but that would be quite a reveal after Jimmy so thoroughly discredited the reality of Chuck's illness. (Am I the only one who frequently wants to…

Because they'll be switching due to the whole "truth is what you're told/believe" theme of the season. Again, I think Zack is missing/ignoring a LOT of the pretty clear subtext in this season. It's been emphasized at least five times that I can think of off the top of my head, most notably in the intro and Yuri's…

And then vomit him, maybe? I'm interested to see where that goes - other than depicting how ravenous Varga is.

There's no doubt that Fargo has gotten more idiosyncratic as the seasons have moved on, but I think Season 2 paid off nicely. I'm pretty optimistic on this one. Regarding Zack's claim that this is "style over substance", I really don't agree. The show has internally (and externally) announced the Season 3 themes…

Agreed. The other unnerving thing, to me - to a certain unthinking person, her "polish", "poise", and "look" will be enough to carry the day. In a world where Jared and Ivanka look reasonable to some, Kellyanne does as well. It's very upsetting.

She repped for Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin before this. It's no stretch to say she has no principles of any kind. Drop her in 1920s USSR and she's happily defending the Holodomor.

Wait, by order or physically? Because I don't think that guy would last more than a few seconds in a fight nor do I think he could wield a weapon. Because he's a big fat piece of shit.

True. Also, if I'm understanding you properly, you're suggesting we overthrow the AVClub?

He She was actually one of the better writers candidates here as I recall. Shame about his her terrible judgement.

1. Trump's team applies to use "Trumpapalooza" as a trademark.
2. The trademark is granted in Russia, China, and the US in 37 seconds. No one cares.
3. 70 million morons haul ass to Trumpapalooza - Jeff Dunham is the opener.

In a Trumpian world, I think Leonard Pierce should definitely be forgiven. He was just publishing alternative criticism!

Goddamnit - you realize you just gave him his theme for the 2018 Bundist Rallies.

IN MY DAY, BACK IN 2009, THE AVCLUB HAD GREAT RELIABLE WRITERS LIKE LEONARD PIERCE! AND THERE WAS NO DISQUS TO SCREW WITH OUR HEADS!

Unfair comparison. That was back in the long long ago days of 2003-2011. Back then, clickbait was just a child's dream!

If it helps, I'm confident that reviews/commentary/analysis of Episode VIII will extensively draw out parallels between Kylo Ren/Snoke and Ivanka/Bannon. Does that help?

That was Mr. Peanut Butter.

No, I'm pretty sure you're right - I think you just yell "Bridge!" loudly and then you win.

Blame the morons who voted a media star into the White House. It's like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. The idiots of America got peanut butter in our chocolate.
