It’s spectacular. The interviews themselves are usually closer to 40 minutes total, with a 15 minute tag on the end of Conan shooting the shit with his infinitely charming staff. I hate 99.999% of podcasts, but I listen to this one religiously.

An unscripted podcast that’s under an hour? OK, now I’m interested. (sorry, podcasters, your thought droppings and endless ums & likes are not as interesting as you think)

He has a new, more casual look in the reworked version of his TBS show. He doesn’t wear full suits anymore. He wears a dress shirt and tie with a collared jacket. I think it’s a totally fine look, and can sympathize with being tired of wearing suits. Though this particular jacket has far too many pockets. If you watch…

In case anyone particularly enjoys this interview, Conan’s interview of Colbert on Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend is one of my all-time favorites, and a wonderful excavation of two of the best people to walk this Earth at the moment.

I think this is one interesting view, while there’s also the other straightforward view of white male entitlement that when you do a thing you deserve praise and acclaim. Like, if you put enough nice coins into a woman then sex is supposed to fall out. Or just basically how mediocre white men seem to fail upward while…

Him golfing without the automatic win feature on shows he wants to be better, at golf so that's unimportant, but he's actually trying. When he could just as easily go back to pretending he's great and living in denial.

Like last week’s scenes with the pushcart on the train tracks.

Or - the gang causes all of the other beings to focus on ending punishment altogether.  I think Michael giving Bad Janet the book will lead to a ripple effect that will end the Bad Place.

I’m glad Perkins highlighted Brent’s “I accomplished something!” moment, but I think it was important, on both a character and thematic level. I won’t be surprised if we find out that Brent’s book was, literally, the only thing he ever accomplished - that he skated through life on his dad’s name and knew it, even if…

But in other reboots she presumably came to the realization much faster. And remember that one time it was so obvious that Jason figured it out. 

I loved how as Eleanor got ready to announced the hottest savior of the week, Tahani slid forward in her seat in anticipation

I mean, Glenn clearly has come around to that *and* Bad Janet seemed...reluctantly receptive. 

I’ve also wondered why they haven’t had the “Oh, THIS is the Bad Place!” moment yet--even though it isn’t, you’d think they’d figure it’s not paradise with Brent being there and so much negative juju going on.

That Brent stuff got really tough to watch. I mean it in a good way - they so perfectly captured that white male entitlement. And the problem of everyone else always having to walk on eggshells and be the bigger person and apologize and forgive. It’s infuriating, and the show just nailed it.

Me wonder if in end, humanity’s fate will hinge on fact that new foursome not get significantly better, but original humans did in making sincere effort to help them.

Simone asking why she still has to put up with behavior like this in The Good Place connected to something I’ve already been wondering: why aren’t people as intelligent as Chidi, Simone, and John constantly asking how Brent even made it into The Good Place in the first place? He is clearly and fundamentally an awful…

You can ignore all the reviews from i09. I imagine AV Club has little to no control over what gets cross-promoted from the other G/O Group websites. Considering all the kerfuffle and firings and shutdowns across the group, it seems like the people who actually write the content for these sites have no control over…

Here she is as Celie, in case anyone hasn’t seen it.

This sounds like a fascinating project, but Weisz could not look any more different that Taylor. Rami Malek as Mercury was a big stretch, but it worked to some degree. Put Carey Mulligan or Laura Linney in a dark wig. Or Amanda Seyfried, Christina Ricci..........Anyone with the delicate features Taylor wore so well.

wouldnt jennifer connelly be the better choice here, purely from a visual perspective
