I can’t be the only person disappointed Aubrey wasn’t name-checked as Janet Snakehole during the old time-y detective sketch, right?

theres a show called MILF MANOR now too.  You can’t tell me Jack Donaghy isnt real

At least she’s alive.

You do realize that Night Court was a sitcom and not a documentary, right? Or are you the Neil deGrasse Tyson of the AV Club?

I am rewatching it & enjoying it even more the 2nd time, knowing how Jenna Ortega owns every scene.

How does Sarah Sherman’s amazing turn on Update not even get a mention? That was as funny as SNL has been in a long time. She’s 100% unhinged and I love every second of it.

Based on context, I think the writer specifically meant movies that incorporate the pandemic as a plot element/acknowledge it, or ones that exist because of the constraints put on productions in terms of testing, crew size, location, etc. Not just any movie that came out during the pandemic.

You seem mistaken. Disney’s Star Wars is absolutely saturated with bubbly nostalgic nonsense. There’s no shortage. They “won”. Go watch any of that.

I think the problem isn’t having realistic depictions of labor. It’s more this is the what, 4th? 5th? graphic depiction of childbirth in 10 episodes of TV. At a certain point it just becomes torture porn.

Co-op is so good, it is better than some real shows. And the brown and the beige, and the brown and the beige...

As someone who gives no shits whatsoever regarding the source material, this was a pretty great season.  Properly epic all the way around, well-acted and told, and most of the ‘subplots’ were pretty interesting and well-handled.  Final episode gets knocked down a full grade for having no dwarves, but aside from that…

Basic physics? Snapping the arrow like that’s going to move the shaft in the process.

Helen McCrory rocked the hell out of her look, though.

You can’t explain how scary it is to be a woman walking alone at night unless you’ve been a woman walking alone at night, and there’s a particular kind of terror involved as a woman being attacked by a man or group of men. A guy gets jumped by a guy in an alley, his first concern is the other guy is going to steal his…

Agreed, but I’m weird when it comes to murder mysteries.  I prefer to watch them very passively.  I have no desire to dig through clues or easter eggs or conspiracy theories.  It’s definitely a journey’s-more-important-than-the-destination thing for me.

Yes, precisely.  This show is not a wicked, clever mystery show and it never held itself out to be.  It’s an ensemble comedy with a murder mystery to drive the plot.

This one has been driving me crazy in the recaps all season long: At absolutely no point in time did anything in the show say that the phone number they were texted from belonged to Det Williams.

He only made up “really wanted to be a doorman”, I think.  I think?

Well, then don’t watch them.  I do this with reality TV all the time. It’s very easy.

And the last 43.5 minutes of the show’ll be a dance montage!
