Season 3 Bojack is Don Draper.

KEY: Should we go big or go subtle with [everything]?
PEELE: Big! Really big!
KEY: How about even bigger than that?
PEELE: *face melts with pride*

Geoffrey Arend is like some kind of human remora fish.

He ONLY spent $10 on a pretty well-made tool. Weekend cyclists can spend $800 for a pair of racing pedals, so the damage here is fairly minimal.

Not 40 points, 40% probability of winning. The polling shift is about five points and the probabilities are calculated from that and from polling in battleground states.

I wish they made movies for Old Adults who live in a present-day world in which nothing threatens the future of mankind. Possibly with puppies?

B+ is fair when you respect the artistry but recognize that the content is a bit sophomoric.

The pilot was great, but every other episode was adults getting into hissy fits.

Semper ubi sub ubi

I haven't been following this. Is it he said/she said?

Jesse Eisenberg's cardboard standup has a name, and it is Michael Cera.

Has anyone as clone-army generic as Brie Larsen ever been so popular?

I unrecommend the fifth season of The Wire.

It's kind of surprising from this interview that he's maintained a career at all. He's a middle-of-the-road character actor and doesn't command the kind of respect that allows someone to say 'no' all the time.
On the other hand, it's nice to see Toby Ziegler's obtuseness mirrored in the man who played him.

If you liked Spy, McCarthy's more recent effort The Boss is a great deal better.

It fell between two very solid seasons.
Every SNL season in history is pretty hit-and-miss so when I watched them all last year I made it through S20 without too many complaints. And BTW, Norm nails Weekend Update right out of the gate despite the relatively weak S20 writing.

Stewart's reach was far broader than his original viewing audience, as many of his segments were picked up by news channels and brought into a mainstream discussion.

She makes a case for a certain position rather than giving an overview of the situation, which serves up a lot more red meat to an audience who already holds that position.
It's not an intellectually honest tactic, but it helps turn a presentation of events into an emotionally-charged narrative. Bee does this well…

You're right. I followed Oliver largely through his long-running (and Brit-centric) Bugle podcast so I don't associate him as strongly with The Daily Show.
I think his new show—which I like—stands apart from what other TDS alumni are doing in both format and scope.

His ratings would have been double Noah's and he would have actually had a point of view. 2016 is a perfectly-Daily-Show-sized gift that is just being squandered and Jon Stewart is sitting out the election he was born to cover.
