I still refuse to believe that everyone who died in Avengers Arena died because when has Arcade ever killed anybody in his deathtraps?

It calls to mind maybe my favorite pearl of wisdom from the show:

I’m both a little sad but also glad. It’s such a great show and I’d hate for it to get ... less great. Better to go out on top.

It was a moderate hit. $70 million in 2000, which is about equivalent to what something like GLASS or THE UPSIDE made this year. I remember it being moderately entertaining, too, though I don’t think I’ve seen a frame of it since opening night.

Wait... there’s a guy on the AV Club who dresses as a pirate?

Cum Town: a podcast whose fans even can’t articulate one reason to listen.

If there isn’t at least a rassinfrackin *easter egg* of Killface or his alien race, I will be profoundly disappointed.

Really looking forward to the release of this.  I mean, not to see it by any means, but, once it comes out and bombs, I’ll stop hearing about it and we’re that much closer to the eventual reboot.

What, you gonna narc to the commissioner?  That’s a nice Odyssey you got there, I’d hate to see something happen to it.

I worked for Raytheon (defense contractor) a few years ago. I worked 65 hour weeks for 6+ months straight one year for 0 overtime pay because I was salaried. This is absolutely legal in the US and happens every day.

I agree. Superstore’s pretty radical mix of workplace comedy and propaganda for class warfare would make it different discussion than your average sitcom.

One Batman movie funds three French baby space travel movies.

I like this show. I hope it gets a movie.

Stick with it. The first few chapters of The Fifth Season take a little settling into (particularly that use of direct address), but the jumpy narrative calms down, and it’s a rewarding read.

David Cross is an amazing and hilarious comedic performer and a not very funny stand-up comic.

They used CGI to replace it with a period-appropriate walkie talkie.

This show is great and also unabashedly by, about and for women so I’m hype to read one million complaints about whatever it is commentators don’t like seeing women do.

One thing about this review though: These two are both 30 years old. This show is also for millenials. Gen z’s oldest are like just now turning 21
