Wrong. That’s all pageantry. In reality, he was a mad scientist ruining lives. Google Binder conjoined twins and you’ll learn how one of them died, the other was mute and severely developmentally disabled and put in a special home, the parents divorced, with the mother saying, “I don’t believe in a good God anymore.” H…

I wasted dozens of hours on this site in the years prior to the Hulk Hogan Gawker lawsuit, and now only sporadically check it out. Nothing would make me happier than to see the AV Club make a return to form.

The What If show was a lot like the What If comics. Some truly inspired episodes/issues that are as rewatchable as any Office or Parks & Rec episode.

Alicia Witt and Kiernan Shipka both have horror movie “scream queen” cred too

It would be mediocre, safe, toeing the corporate line... and earn a 52% on rotten tomatoes 

“...we’re still waiting on that third season of What If...?”

What If has been disposable fluff that is only noteworthy in how many of its movie cast members they were able to reacquire, while Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson had pale imitations in their stead. A show that could have shed some real light on the characters the way Buffy did The Wish, or TNG…

Does this mean we can get X-Men '97 versions on What If...? Now?

If they all talked all the time and sounded like Benedict Cumberbatch I’d be okay with them getting offed.

As a child, shocked. I had only heard that word a couple of times. Then upset. Already gathering my feminist creds. Disappointed in the entire franchise.

True, though to be fair the previous three seasons were a bit of a low bar to clear, and I think they were prematurely cancelled so season 4 was when they’d finally found their mid-series groove only for that to be the end.

My hometown newspaper (Amarillo, TX) refused to refer to the movie as “Octopussy” and altered the ads and everything to read “Octopus”

Multiverse of Madness was awesome

Agreed! 

I prefer to chalk up the second Doctor Strange to Raimi coming in and making a cool Dr. Strange movie that did really well actually.

What blip? That movie fucking rocked. Fuck off.

The problem with Polly Pocket is that once you get past the gimmick of “toy accessory for girls turns into playset for tiny dolls” it’s not particularly unique. So a Polly Pocket movie either needs to be entirely about tiny people building malls inside makeup cases, which is goofy, or just a weird retro teen comedy of…

You think that’s wild? In the novel, Pussy Galore’s name is Kitty Galore. They made it WORSE for the movie.

But if your conversation gets caught on tape, you could get elected President!

This is the core of it: “But can I tell you how many men have grabbed my genitals in my lifetime? A lot more than Kevin Spacey has grabbed men’s genitals. And none of them has ever apologized to me.”
