I enjoy both shows, but your statement is 100% accurate. 

This is probably the most devastated I’ve felt about a series’ cancellation since Arrested Development back in ‘06, which also felt like it was on borrowed time for most of its run. Venture Bros. was one of those rare parodies of a genre (multiple genres, really) that was not only consistently clever, but also a…

As far as I know, the show was already renewed for season 8 at least three years ago. This is a dick move, basically.

After 17 years and featuring some of the most ambitious and aspirational storytelling in animation, AS isn’t going to give them at least a 4-episode wrap up? Not even a courtesy season?

Venture Bros. is better than Rick and Morty!

Didn’t take long for the dipshits to appear complaining about this article being “political” when it’s commenting on a game that is deliberately portraying cold war politics for fun.

“This misconduct reportedly also filtered into Rocksteady’s games, which include hypersexualized versions of Batman characters like Poison Ivy and Catworman.”

For me, it’s definitely websites formatted as slideshows.
A throwback to earlier times that couldn’t load more than one image at once and measured advertising impact by the dumbest metric known.

The racist meaning of the OK sign might have started as a hoax but nobody “bought it hook, line, and sinker”. It was completely ignored until the wider groups of white supremacists and neo nazis picked it up and started using it unironically as a new secret symbol. Even then the media and public still didn’t take it…

Loads of people disdained The Monkees for being put together by some guy.

Saw a sad thread on a meme site of users complaining that Larson isn’t funny and is ‘boomer humor’. Made me really angry that a community whose sense of humor is defined by irony and morbidity wouldn’t understand the magic of Larson.

I want to point out that you mentioned that the player never finds out what is in store for Abby and Lev after the ending, but this isn’t true actually. The main menu screen after the credits shows their empty rowboat near the firefly base that they had radioed earlier, heavily implying that they found the fireflies,…

Hey, you know, as insignificant as it feels stacked up to its predecessors, I really liked Toy Story 4. I had to see it twice because the projector borked three quarters through the first time, and yet I didn’t feel it ponderous the second time at all.

Eventually, AV Club reviews will be *just* the trigger warnings about the parts that “haven’t aged well.” “Beware: the female characters in this movie fail to treat James Franco’s character as a sexually unacceptable creep. Scarlett Johansson’s character is never forced to repent for the actress’s sinful statements…

Remember when The AV Club would report the news, rather than tell you the specific, exact response you should have to it?

I imagine the reason that this demo only exists on the PS5 is because UE5 is still under development, and it was probably a ton of work and debugging just to get this demo running on the PS5 itself. The version of the engine on display here was probably very carefully tailored for this particular demo, because it’s…

I don’t know, that whole deal where she didn’t want to pay musicians to guest on her album even though she’s made better money than a lot of musicians (thanks to Dresden Dolls) still sticks in my craw a bit

it reminds me of that line in “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” (which Bruce was reading when he wrote that album): “No pleasure but meanness.”

That little speech about Craddock not recognizing death when he sat across from him at the table was Eastwood worthy.
