Democrats ran and won in 2020. And look where we’re at now. Perhaps it’s more accurate to say that 2020's victory was a band-aid on a leg that needs amputating, and we should have done this in 2016 when the chips were really and truly on the table. But still. We’re demonstrably fucked.

New cast was great and fit right in, and I really hope Knoxville never feels the need to go ass-over-elbows in a bullfight again on our behalf. He has served his time and deserves to hold the emcee mic forever more.

They were ringers for sure, constantly improvising new and funnier stuff! We had a whole short film planned for Britanick as well, called “Turtleneck and Flannel Are Dead,” which would have been the funniest DVD extra we could think of. Alas, we didn’t have the time. Glad you liked it. We definitely saw a big uptick…

The problem is, that’s been The AV Club’s brand for a while. Remove that tone from Newswire articles and you basically get Collider or Filmcrush or Flickgeek (maybe some of those are made up? Who knows). You know, those porridge-thin sites that just regurgitate the PR release, maybe with a layer of bland “sounds…

He most certainly does, as does Greg Sestero from The Room (nailing the cheesecake himbo role if I say so myself, and even speaking some French).

It’s Dude Bro Party Massacre III and I think we’re on both Tubi and Arrow right now.

Fare thee well, Alex. I remember when our movie came out I lobbied to try and get AV Club to review it (as it actually starred a beloved comedian and an actor from a possibly more-beloved cult movie), and when that ship sailed I thought “well maybe we’ll wind up getting hilariously dunked on in Home Video Hell.” Would…

CinemaCon reviews have to be treated with a massive dose of salt. It’s all one big hype parade, everyone’s charged up because celebrities are in attendance and everyone wants to kiss enough ass to come back next year. Eventually, when we get these popcorn movies, it’s always the same stuff - there’s no laughing,…

When they say the same old tired words, again and again, like cringe or woke or the dreaded “cry laugh emoji” like they’re some kind of rhetorical cudgel, you know exactly who you’re talking to and what they’re really getting at. Huge sigh

Bloc Party is definitely a time-and-place kinda band, one of those groups where you remember where you were when you first heard them - even if they fall off or you never really keep up with them. That opener to “Like Eating Glass,” pheeeeeeeww.

Damn, I’d also have to pick Raising Arizona, Face/Off and Adaptation. With a special wild card addition of Vampire’s Kiss just because none of those three give you Full Cage (Face/Off is, obviously, only Half-Cage).

As wildly overrated as it is amongst film-bro circles, Interstellar really did make some nifty, emotional use of the time dilation concept (you know the scene I’m talking about) and I wonder how Pixar would be able to top that.

I think Bill Murray was the Patron Saint back around the late 2000s and early 2010s, that whole “epic bacon mustache” era of internet memery. That’s the environment that built up a legend for him, of surprising random strangers at weddings and karaoke bars and stuff. That, plus his Zombieland cameo, was really what…

Better Cally Sally.

It’s a little funny that someone like Mark Wahlberg wound up in Three Kings and The Other Guys, two seemingly mindless blockbuster movies that walk riiiiiight up to the edge of saying America Is The Problem. They’re not, like, revolutionary texts or anything, but it’s just funny that they contain any nuance at all and…

I guess that’s me? I’ve found all the seasons to be relatively the same in terms of what they deliver, with the first admittedly being the most focused, the second being the most rehashed (but isn’t the whole show a pastiche anyway) and the third being the most fun-albeit-haphazard. They’re no great shakes and it’s…

Screencap makes him look like a guy whose Twitter account is currently being investigated by the feds for his whereabouts on January 6th

Haven’t seen him in a few years so who can say...but man, Butch Walker has the fucking goods.

yeah man, because it’s not on broadcast television

El Camino to me is, in a weird way, a little bit like the last act of Django Unchained: A chance for a character who’s mostly been sidelined by their partner’s skills to step up and do the same shit completely on their own. It was honestly cool to see Jesse get his own little science-y Walt moment with that shootout.
