I’m convinced he and Rudy snort up the same stash when they’re alone together. Just as I’m convinced Lindsay Graham got Kavanaugh drunk before he testified... just as I’m convinced Graham is drunk 24/7.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but my first thought with Lori’s audition, was that she was reading for Pretty Woman (wasn’t there some sort of scarf/department store something in there?) ... which would be a clever concept if that was what the writer was going for - as in: to tease Pretty Woman (hooker wins!)…

Could we please, next, get a psychosexual drama Lars Von Trier style starring The New Zoo Review? Please and Thank you.

“I’m not a little girl anymore. I have regular woman panties where the string goes up my crack. I have tits. I do sex.”

I agree it's funny when sketchers break, but the reviews and we-the-viewers shouldn't be like, "Hooray! Everyone broke character and goofed up!" It's like giving an auto race high marks for the fantastic crash half way through.

McCarthyism is a hollowed out buzzword to these guys. Hollowed out and work-shopped by ad-campaign hires who are paid to destroy truth and are proud that they’re the best at it.

Also, further thoughts on the opening credits:

Alternate episode title: "Who's Your Daddy Now?"

“When I took over the United States...”

The secret service would turn on him.

I’m alright with Maisie Williams winning. After The Bells and The Long Night ... No actress worked as physically hard as that on any show I think I’ve ever seen. The only way she survived the shoot, I bet, was because she was as young as she is. Kit Harrington matched her beat for beat in physical exertion and had a…

I wonder to what extent these cyber-created characters such as the bear in WB’s Dark Materials, the T-Rex in Universal’s Jurassic Park, Iron Man’s suit in the MCU ... to what extent these creations are themselves like actors with agents and negotiations and copyright. (I know, I know, start the jokes about Drogon…

Okay, I finally started watching this. Three episodes in and without knowing if the entire series ends up as a “C” or not, I can honestly say that so far the grades go: E1=(B) ... E2=(B-) ... E3=(A-). E3 is the flashback episode and it was pretty good. The goofy names don’t bother me so much as long as the leads refer…

He’s cashing checks from Amazon, so that’s a good thing, right?

He may yet turn on Frankie for disobedience, even while his other goon is clearly on the fence as far as his allegiance goes.

Like when Moranis found out who Stiller’s parents were, I’m sure he had nothing to ask or say on the subject... Nice as both men are IRL I’m sure. True, it’s a decent anecdote anyway.

God, what I wouldn’t give to have a Roy Cohen cameo this season. Was he dead by '85? 

It would be a major lol if Eileen walks into the New York offices of HBO at the season’s end with a pitch for “Real Sex.”

American Ninja Warrior ends it’s season tonight. It’s been a good/usual season. What I like about the finals is the rise of players who have been in the background for years, and suddenly are in the running. Who wouldn’t like to see Ryan Strattis win it all? Or Joe Marovsky? Or Flip Rodriguez? (I think Flip is out…

Echo... echo... echo...
