I thought Bonkers was more of a riff on Roger Rabbit, but I don’t know.

Kind of a spoiler for Ready Player One, but the climax of the book ends with Wade being told that the pop culture obsessions he’s been chasing after for years can’t compare to the here and now, and the people who make your life worthwhile. That’s why the story ends with two people sitting alone, surrounded by nature.…

It certainly was a cult show, but still an awards darling, which can’t really be said to the same extent for The Office and Parks and Recreation. I mean, as with all cult shows, 30 Rock has grown in popularity—though, I don’t think enough is said about how bad season six got—but Parks and Recreation and The Office are…

I’d love to hear Sophie Turner’s review of Passengers, because I feel like she’d relate pretty heavily with J-Law in that one.

That’s fair. I do wish we had... any moment, where Angela reached out to someone who needed help, especially in the last season, when she and Erin really could have bonded over their SOs letting them down. That’s a huge missed opportunity. Better than the episode about the damn elevator going out, or than Pam being…

That’s actually one of the cooler moments of Boyhood, where they go to a Harry Potter book opening. Not because I have such nostalgia for those parties—though, I am roughly the same age as those characters, and I do have fond memories of those events, even though I don’t particularly love the series—but because it’s…

Holy shit. I still cry during the “Walkabout” episode. Absolutely one of the best episodes of television produced in the last fifteen years.

You know what could have worked? Is if we got a scene where Pam steps away for a second, and Jim stops by to see her, realizes it’s ridiculous, and misses her completely. Would have been a nice foreshadow.

I go back and forth on the finale for The Office, but the finale for Lost is fucking great, and anyone who disagrees can fight me.

Jim has always been a dick—no matter how you feel about Dwight, some of the stuff Jim does to him is incredibly mean. But all things being fair, he’s also incredibly inclusive, creative, and loving when he needs to be.

The Orifice.

Jim and Pam are overrated. Dwight and Angela, especially during the last season, are way more interesting, and their relationship is fairly neglected by the show.

On the whole, yes, but The Office has much higher highs. Having seen both several times, there are many more legendary episodes of The Office than there are of Parks and Recreation. Also, Steve Carell’s Michael Scott is undeniably the better character, even when they cheat with his characterization.

What’s odd is that 30 Rock was so beloved in its time—it did, after all, win a shit-ton of Emmys, including three consecutive Outstanding Comedy Series trophies—but has kind of fallen off for the more emotionally enriched mockumentaries that came up with it.

Oof. That picture of the press team makes me think of that old couple in Mulholland Dr. Anyone else getting flashbacks?

This is sowing the seeds for the season four series highlight “The Rick Wedding.”

Both Blue Ruin and Green Room are terrific, and Blue Ruin is way more interesting on a subtextual level. If nothing else, I hope we get more of that.

Ehhhh... I’ll give you Review, for sure. As much as I love the other two, I don’t know that they were quite as great as this season—which is more a comment on how mind-blowing Rick and Morty is. The second season of Review just has this ability to make you say, “That was fucked up,” and then move onto the next thing,…

Yeah. It’s tough to find three minutes in an 80-minute episode of television.

That’s really neat. Too bad John Singleton has yet to make a good film—the important-but-still-nakedly-amateurish Boyz n the Hood included.
