A few reasons. One is the form of carbonation. Kegs used forced C02 but bottled beer uses sugar-that’s trivial, but I’ve had beer where the bottled version is definitely detectably sweeter. Also for the same volume of beer, you’ve got way more individual margin for error in quality of the vessel. But the big reasons…

When I was in college getting bud on tap, dirty taps were a concern, but at least in my neck of the woods, a place that is going to the trouble of selecting and serving a nice collection of different craft beers isn’t going to throw the deal with dirty taps. And almost always, beer in a keg is going to taste better…

“Such as Jonas Venture being perhaps the biggest villain of the entire series.” It’s definitely, not “perhaps”—unless they somehow construct a ridiculously large matryoshka doll to retrofit the entire show inside of.

I felt like there was a meta-commentary on the heavy JAWS plotting when Wide Wale was discussing his origin and The Blue Morpho/Monarch cut him off and criticized him for lack of originality for stealing the Hulk origin story. I mean this is a show that runs it’s constantly adjusting the subtlety-dial on its homage…

While technically correct, I don’t know that numerous succeeds at capturing the interminable frequency with which “Who is John Galt?” is forced into Atlas Shrugged. If the book was an Olive Garden all-you-can-eat order of overcooked bow-tie pasta, “Who is John Galt?” would be the margarine/salt/evaporated parmesan…

What? Are you positing there’s a reality where authentic DC animated cartoons (which are fine and much better than authentic Marvel cartoons, and definitely better than DC live-action cartoons) are *better* than The Venture Bros.?

Sounds like a job for Hollywood Mayor Chip Gardner. Hail Satan! https://www.earwolf.com/episode/hail-satan-with-chip-gardner/

“Not your your Grandma’s ziggurat.”

I’ve seen 10 episodes referenced in a few places. Wikipedia sometimes only lists the upcoming episodes they have details and/or production codes for.

I’d settle for them being accessible by the potential employer, interviewing them when that day comes...

As a Bostonian, let me give some unsolicited advice to my motor city friends. When it comes to movies based on your home city and people who have lived there... you have to forget you know the story behind it, and all of the liberties, inaccuracies, appropriations, and bad accents associated with it. Otherwise all…

I can see not liking a style of beer, but equating it with a brand is not the basis for a very effective argument.

It’s too bad that they flushed Carol’s burgeoning character arc down the crapper. Honestly, I watch this show because it fleshes out the concept of “zombie apocalypse survival” and the premise of sending man back to a quasi-preindustrial society. All of the characters are so flimsily written, Rick included, that it’s…

Well, they hinting at that with the periodic helicopters. It would be even better if the outbreak was just a cruel, regional “purging by zombies.” The 1%er’s great purging of the American southeast!

I guess the other side of it is that if you’re spending time on a pop culture site, you’re bound to run into articles that cover interviews where people are asked about their experiences on films. I suppose that appease some people who get juiced up on #firstworldproblem gotchas, these actors could insert obligatory…

HOUSE BLOWS!!! And Sierra Nevada was once the best Pale Ale you could get in most parts of the country.

I’ll venture yet another Tim Burton movie - Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. While it owes a lot to Reubens obviously, its a delightfully transcendent road movie and modern fairy tale. Of course, I’m old enough to have seen it in theaters, and even my contemporaries give me a skeptical look when I say it’s in my top five…

He might be the best President we’ve ever had.

It’s a shame, really. Han Solo must remain the franchise’s inscrutable sphinx, misunderstood and unloved by all. At least we’ll always have the Skywalker slave hut and the Fett sleeping quarters on Kamino—unlocking the motivations of a Sith Lord and that silent bounty hunter guy, respectively.

I cut cable a couple of years back, so I’m part of the problem for Fox, but what are they expecting to replace these shows as hits? I feel like type of phenomenon is largely done.
