Dry … cleaning.

You mean Joe Manganiello, aka "Big Dick Richie" from the Magic Mike franchise? Death Stroke indeed.

Yeah, I really liked the new Evil Dead, too. Hard to A) do something new with a cabin in the woods scenario, B) impress with an overload of gore, or C) make a reboot that stands on its own. It did all three. It definitely was more in line with the original Evil Dead, which wasn't nearly as slapstick as the next two in

Yeah, great job indeed, but why are they giving the internet credit for a New Yorker piece? Isn't this more of a "Read This"?

Sports Night, season 2, episode 4: Casey rigs the popularity contest to beat Dan but ends up winning by such a ridiculous margin that his plot is totally transparent.

Issue 40 of Ex Machina - the retired superhero mayor of New York meets with series creators Brian K. Vaughan and Tony Harris to commission an in-continuity comic book adaptation of his life, only to go with Garth Ennis and Jim Lee instead. It's pretty well trodden territory, but the twist is fun and unexpected. Also

They need a real Stark to legitimize the claim. Jon is still a Snow and Sansa a Bolton. Good thing Arya is heading home.

Odin agreed to serve God, but [SPOILER ALERT] in the comics God is the villain, so …

There's a recurring motif where Cap falls from a great height, bounces off a hard surface, and then falls another six to ten feet before landing hard, pausing to collect himself, and slowly getting up. It happens about five times, and it never gets old.

Mid 90s Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry would have been amazing as Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norrell.

I support this whole exercise exclusively for the fact that it accounts for Superman's government-mandated Obamacare expenses. I could see Fox News having a field day with that.

I'll watch The Cutting Edge over Crazy, Stupid, Love any day. My vote for the "S" runner-up is Secretary.

That seems to be the way the wind is blowing these days. After all, we have female singers, female motorists. Welcome aboard!

Good list, but it needs more Black Dynamite.

I was skeptical, but I genuinely like Trevor Noah on the Daily Show. It's just weird to have the host be my age instead of my parents'.

I disagree about the end of LA Confidential. (Spoilers.) Guy Pearce killing James Cromwell and taking the hero moment is him selling out, compromising his values, and taking the biggest step yet to becoming the thing that he's been fighting the whole time. It is well earned, built to meticulously, and far from a

Yeah, me too, although generally more the second time. The first two were well-enough liked, but I thought Neighbors didn't get enough credit for inverting the usual frat movie format. The curmudgeonly neighbors trying to shut down the annoying fraternity are the good guys, as they would probably be in the real world.

Yeah, Fury Road was good and all, but the AV Club is definitely burying the lead here. Did the National Board of Review just give best supporting actor to Sylvester Stallone for playing Rocky for the 7th time? How did that happen?

Bring back America's Most Smartest Model or GTFO.
