I read somewhere that the producers sent a lot of props to their homes for this. When Ben pulled out his Claymation guy (I compared it to Avatar! hahahahaha) I thought the same thing. Wait does Adam Scott have that little dude just hanging around at home?

I really hope that’s Retta’s real closet, cause it looked delightful

Actually, they were planned once the release schedule cleared. The intro text in ital mentions that these recent Watch This weeks are themed around movies that aren’t coming out. So because we don’t have any Black Widow stuff this week, we’re talking about older ScarJo movies. There was a week for Antlers, which is…

It was more of a garrote.

Joe’s utterly loathsome, but he’s loathsome in a catastrophically entertaining kind of way. Doc Antle runs a tiger-obsessed sex cult, but he’s a reasonably put together, articulate guy, so it’s harder to turn him into an object of circus freak fascination. There’s nothing entertaining or charming about Jeff Lowe -…

I think that Carol hid a tiger on his plane.

That’s just the Knicks, they make fools of us all.

“That’s totally Alfred Hitchcock. Boom! Nailed it.”

We all know Geraldo didn’t find anything in Al Capone’s vault, but what this movie presupposes is...maybe he did?

How much were they asking for him?

Yo dawg, I heard you like artificiality in your reality, so I appeared in a scripted reality series so you can think that shit actually happened that way!

Since they only were only able to complete 5 weeks of their 10-week schedule, a more appropriate name would’ve been the VFL.

Thank you for this suggestion, kind sir; however, my concern is not for myself. As an adult, I have access to all of the butts, Daryl Hannah’s and otherwise, that I could possibly desire. My concern is for today’s 12 year olds, that they will not enjoy the unexpected thrill of being shown a children’s movie by an…

IT MAY NOT BE THE MAGNANIMOUS GESTURE YOU THINK!

The man is writing a series of articles about the highest grossing movie of each year. He’s writing about 1983's highest grossing film. A film that has in fact been written about a shit-ton of times. What the fuck did you expect him to write about?

At a Q and A with David Lynch in Belfast I asked what changes he would have made if he had directed ROTJ. He said the ewoks would've looked like the baby in Eraserhead, before laughing. 

“We shall redouble our efforts.” - Low-level manager

That, and Whatever Happened to Alternative Nation?  The dissection of 80s and 90s music in those columns was phenomenal (as was the collective contribution of the commentors).

Just here to mention that Popcorn Champs and When Romance Met Comedy are the best things AV Club’s done in ages. I don’t often read the long-form articles on sites like this one (TL;DR) but I always read these ones right to the end. Ditto History of Violence.
