I’ll still tune in for Sideshow Bob episodes (and Treehouse of Horrors), but how many times has Bob now changed his mind on killing Bart last-second or saved his life now? I kinda rolled my eyes when they pulled that stunt again. At least he didn’t have any animal superpowers this time.

“It’s like IKEA. We can’t go back, we have to push forward!”

I’d argue there are a few gems on The Resistance, but Black Holes was definitely their last one I’d willingly listen to front to back.

Yeah, I legitimately enjoyed Songs of Innocence despite it turning into the butt of every Apple joke for a year, but every single I’ve heard from Experience so far is worse than anything on Innocence.

Great point. While Odyssey certainly makes you pay closer attention to your environment than past 3D Mario titles, keeping you in the stage after collecting the [main collectible of game] is the same thing Banjo-Kazooie did, and no one’s ever referred to Banjo as “open-world”.

Look, everyone’s going to have a different least favorite song, but can we at least all agree that “Follow Me” by Uncle Kracker is one of the worst fucking songs of all time? Every now and then, I still hear it, and I start to feel just a little bit homicidal.

There are a handful of awful songs where their existence was later suddenly justified by an excellent Weird Al parody, most recently “Blurred Lines”.

Okay, I know I commented that last week’s episode hit me on a really personal level, but even after Rachel’s Twitter warnings, I didn’t expect this episode to hit me even harder. This show has made me emotional before, but this is the first time I actually cried, and I felt pretty rattled for a good half-hour…

This episode may have devastated me more than any other, and it’s not like it’s CXG’s first devastating moment, or even its tenth. But while Rebecca’s desolate walk down the street after an ill-advised hookup was heartbreaking enough, I think the moment I related to most came at the beginning. I’ve been in that…

I’m still in the earlier portions of the post-game and am still enjoying the sense of awe and discovery, but the “same challenge but harder” objectives have plagued every 3D Mario to date, with Galaxy 2 being perhaps the worst offender (great game, but man did it bloat its way to that magic 120-star count). This is…

While I understand WHY Episode 7 is so controversial, I feel it’s the one setting up Season 3 the most. This gives me some pause for Season 3, but it saves us some exposition time if that’s the route it goes down.

The show really strikes a fine line with Nathaniel, where he’s never anything short of a complete asshole, and yet he’s...likable? Same thing with Trent - creepy beyond imagination, yet I giggle whenever he shows up.

“And now for some Stranger DEANS!”

Unless I hear about a surprisingly good episode (like that non-THOH Halloween episode), Treehouse of Horror is the only time each year I tune in to watch The Simpsons over the last decade. It’s the one time they get to ignore the status quo. But like most recent years, this was...serviceable at best. I was enjoying…

The shrimp dispenser reaction was the hardest I laughed up to that point in the episode, only to laugh even harder at Jason’s Pikachu balloon reaction seconds later, and then when it popped, my neighbors may have heard me through the wall.

While I’ve been watching Rick and Morty since it started, I honestly knew nothing about its fanbase until the recent articles about writer harassment, anger about plot payoffs, that guy who paid $15k for schezwan sauce, etc. I was much happier being ignorant about the fans.

We did, which made me wonder if we ever heard the “bench” censor in Season 1. I don’t remember it if it was used.

I know everyone has the same thought - “visually a treat, boring story-wise” - but I feel they HAD to use this gimmick on a generic plot. Unless it was an episode specifically catered to the different animation styles (maybe a Bob’s equivalent of “22 Short Films About Springfield”), it would have only been distracting…

I feel the Jack Black thing was so funny because of how quickly it happened. By now, they know the viewer expects a big-name cameo to be killed off shortly, but Jack was on screen for...one second before dying? Right when you’re processing the fact that he’s gonna die, he’s already dead. That and Todd’s funeral songs…

The Killers’ consistent popularity mystifies me when it feels like even their fans only enjoy their first album and like 2 or 3 songs from Sam’s Town.
