BoJack was a glaring omission in the animation field the last few years, so this is overdue, and for an episode that fully deserves it. I’ve pulled for Bob’s Burgers the last several years in that category, so it relieves me a bit that they didn’t submit their best episode and I can thoroughly pull for BoJack here.

Bad Janet is gonna have fun torturing Emmy voters in the Bad Place.

God, this show was so fun to discuss until last season’s finale, and ever since, it’s nothing but arguments about what constitutes rape, whose rape on the show is worse than whose (FYI rape isn’t a contest; all rape is bad), whether the show is trying to justify rape, etc. As long as they don’t try to walk all that

Seriously, as controversial as the closing moments of last season’s finale were (and I agree with many criticisms of it), we all seemed to be having a pretty fun time with Season 2 until then, especially in the first half. The second half started meandering a bit, but a show that’s going to end with its 3rd season isn’

This list is missing four very important words - Better Oblivion Community Center.

“Not you, Guillermo” is my favorite recurring line in recent memory.

I never had a problem with it until maybe two years ago, when every time I make a change to a playlist and sync my phone with the previous version of that playlist, it creates a duplicate playlist with the previous version. Why would I make a change and not want it applied across the board? That shit is obnoxious.

Yeah, other than a new interface, I don’t see how the new music app is going to be any better than if you hide all the non-music stabs from iTunes like I already do. I use iTunes exclusively as a music platform since I only listen to podcasts on the go (so iOS does the job for me there), and when it comes to

I don’t remember where I read it, but someone called No Cities to Love “the only reunion tour where people actually want to hear the reunion album live”. Which was a perfect way of summing it up.

Having attended one of the “special evening” concerts they did in April, Oblivions is an absolute beast in a live setting, and though the studio version is a bit more subdued in the back half (it gets quite loud live), it’s the one track on this album that, after a couple listens so far, screams “Top 10 National Song”

They got more anthemic around High Violet, which is probably their most accessible record (even though I consider it their 4th or 5th best one). Sleep Well Beast taps into electronics more than the others, but I’d jump into High Violet next and see where it takes you.

I’ve seen The National 15 times over the years, who are generally a phenomenal live act. The Palladium show last year was my least favorite of those 15 shows. Even the following night in Santa Barbara was an infinitely better show.

I never rewatched season 3 like I did with the first two seasons, and I feel there’s a couple reasons. One was the all the increasingly horrible stories that were coming out about fans mistreating restaurant workers and harassing writing staff that turned me off associating with the show. But for reasons that actually

I would argue that Imagine Dragons are worse than Nickelback ever were.

“Cars don’t run on batteries, idiot! They run on gas, and batteries! Dammit!”

Granted, she really didn’t do much, which I can’t tell whether that’s a good or bad thing. She was being built up as an essential part of the fight for the last year, and did...what exactly? Found Tony, disappeared for two hours, came back just to wipe out the spaceship, and had a very short-lived tussle with Thanos?

As a big fan of Agent Carter (which I will continue to insist is the best MCU episodic series), this rubbed me the wrong way too. A huge part of its first season was Peggy learning to let go of Steve, and in the final scene, she does it. By Season 2, she’s moved on to another man and seems happy about it. Salt in the

Would they get snapped back into the plane wherever it is, or snapped back thousands of feet into the sky with nothing below them since that was their geographic location of disappearance? Did it just start raining people everywhere? Questions like this are gonna keep me up for weeks, clearly.

I’ll go ahead and say it - Iron Man 3 is the only MCU film I outright hate. For the other lesser entries, like Thor: The Dark World, I was bored at worst during them. But Iron Man 3 was so, so dumb. Everything from the lava monsters to the “twist” with The Mandarin that was probably clever on paper, but ended up
