I’m glad to hear this, and not just because the first season cleared up all the Crain’s collective trauma (improbably). I wouldn’t mind one or two of the cast from the first season showing up - I’ll take more Carla Gugino any day - but there’s no need to revisit the same territory again. I’m really fond of period…

I know that’s what the dialogue says, but on screen there’s not a lot of evidence of devouring. Liv and Abigail are looking pretty good twenty years into their so called digestion. Liv’s still on her “protect the kids by killing them” kick, but she’s lucid enough to bargain with Hugh. And Nell is better than ever…

Leigh is heavily pregnant at the 2 year sobriety party for Luke. It’s possible they used a sperm donor, but give than Steve now believes the house was the cause of his mother’s suicide, rather than hereditary mental illness, he didn’t have a particular reason not to have biological children.

What a disappointment.

Knocking on Oculus? You just lost a reader, AV Club.

I read it! I watched this a few weeks ago with some friends and was quite animated in my dislike of the film. The nostalgia bait bits were too half baked, I kept waiting for there to be a twist (someone tried to convince me the twist was there was no twist and I was NOT having it) and the ending made me feel like the…

It’s hard to say what therapeutic methods would have the best results in any given situation. Cognitive behavioral therapy is specifically designed to give methods to manage intrusive thoughts. Group therapy can also help. Often this kind of obsessive sexual behavior is coupled with other issues, like anxiety or…

Do you know someone who is unable to work in an office because of their overwhelming shoe fetish, or is this a thought experiment?

I ultimately came to the conclusion the LW meant scrotum, not testicles. Otherwise that’s a whole new thing to feel anxiety about.

It’ll be a Fire Emblem heavy weekend for me, splitting my time between Fates and Warriors.

I’d love more experimental/off format seasons! If VH1 demands more Drag Race, I hope that’s what we get, rather than more of the same, and bringing back queens that struggle with the extremely comedy and performance focused All Stars.

I think the only ones in the running for a worse Snatch Game are Season 2 (the first one, so that says a lot) and Season 4 (which I actually like for many of the same reasons I love Shakesqueer). Maybe toss in Season 9, which was pretty bleh. But Ben is just SO good here I don’t think I’d rank it last.

Ben should have been on All Stars 2 - then maybe that season wouldn’t have been a race to crown Alaska. I’ve come around to the opinion it was too soon to do another All Star season, at least without allowing previous All Stars to compete again. There are some fabulous queens here, but All Stars relies on queens who…

Oh, something happened. I’m just not clear on what. Time travel, maybe?

The biggest problem I ended up having was the movie didn’t really cohere. There were strong visual elements as the store robbery bleeds into the forest setting, but ultimately that’s all it was - a visual element. I expected the movie to reveal this was the protagonist experiencing a mental break but nope - he just…

Between the neon soaked still and the premise, this brings 2016's Nerve to mind - another movie that said social media and the search for online approval twists our moral compass. Looks like a more personal take on the material though.

I was stunned by Morgan’s complete failure at reality show strategy. You don’t tell an early front-runner you plan to eliminate the strongest competition when you’re vulnerable. That’s a season 1 Survivor mistake.

LW1: I’m confused. The LW’s wife moved into another room, calls him a monster, refuses to talk with a counselor but hasn’t filed for divorce? This is the dealiest of breakers for her so why is she still in the home?

I’m with you on this one. The flavor of the cookies fought the filling, instead of complimenting each other. I thought perhaps a less sweet cookie would help to make it palatable.

Having your feet licked does not feel like stepping on slugs in the garden barefoot. The LW may have mentally made that association, and I don’t doubt she finds the sensation unpleasant, but having your feet licked feels like having any other body part licked.
