Enjoyed reading this, but you should watch more X-Files if you remember it as “completely jokeless”. Look for episodes that were written by Darin Morgan.

Ditto. Why?

Can’t fire someone who’s never been hired (long-term)! I’m assuming he’s freelance but hope to see more from him on here.

“Hey Todd, this heartfelt essay connecting a pivotal moment in American pop culture to your family history and the town you grew up in: any chance you could make it a slideshow?”

I love a personal essay, especially about pop culture.

This was rather good, so I expect AVC to fire Todd within the next few weeks.

I would 100% like more articles like this, please.

This is the best thing I have read from the AV Club in a long, long time. Beautiful, heartbreaking essay!
