The great Kelly Hogan from the late, great Jody Grind, and regular compatriot of both DBT and The Decemberists. Oh yeah, Neko Case also 

Hey! I suggested REM’s Radio Free Europe! Probably dozens other did too, but I’m ... I’m ... SOMEBODY!!!!

I got a Week of August 12 notification for this?

Nice song list AV Club and congrats on the Editor-in-Chief job, Ms. Chavez. The St. Joe Strummer line in “Constructive Summer” rang pretty true for me when the record came out. I’m looking forward to seeing who sings it. Also, if GWAR covered “Naked as We Came,” that would be pretty funny.

Not enough of that Laurel Canyon Sound. 

When I interviewed Philip Baker Hall for Bullz-Eye and asked him if the second season of THE LOOP was a tax-write off for Fox, he went into that kind of thing as well. It was very educational. http://www.bullz-eye.com/2008/08/08/interview-with-philip-baker-hall/

One of the first episodes of “Made in Canada” (a dark sitcom about a TV producer, known as “The Industry” when it briefly aired in the USA) was about the phenomenon that killed “Andy Barker PI”. Executives will always sabotage any project that they didn’t personally greenlight in order to prevent a rival executive from…

“Tim Stalin in accounting?”

Man, I felt all the emotions, all the way through. Something about this episode really connected with me.

I try not to be one of those people but when I saw this I thought, Harris better have asked about “V”!

GIVE DON COSCARELLI MONEY TO MAKE A BEASTMASTER SEQUEL

As soon as I saw that he was being offered up for interviews, I thought, “This is someone who would’ve been an instant green-light candidate for the feature back in the day.” I was extremely happy to find that the new management agreed.

In a parallel universe, he has Kevin Bacon’s career. Of course, then he’s making out with his sister on Footloose. NVM

Is this the most random Random Roles ever? I mean, when was the last time anybody here even thought about Marc Singer? (No offense, he seems like a nice guy.)

Also I had completely forgotten he was in Go Tell the Spartans, which is a seriously underrated movie.

I loved it, and thought that it allowed us the space to measure the influences various chefs had on Carmy; only Joel (David in the subtitles) was shown as abusive, and probably able to push buttons left by family trauma.

i know you cant please all of the people all of the time. but this episode...

...rocked.

i found myself wanting absolutely NO dialogue, but then it started creeping in and i warmed to it. who hasnt gone through a mental breakdown of “everything that has led to this moment” before? you jump around from incident to…

Carmy’s self-flagellating swirl of memories IS the aftermath of the opening. There’s never been anything unique or unpredictable going on in the plot of this show - it’s always been 100% a character piece. What little plot there is will only ever be a vehicle to show us how the characters think and grow and relate.

I really enjoyed about half of the episode…then I wanted to say, “ok, I get it…let’s move on.”

I liked the concept of this episode, but not for a season premiere.

Bonus Olivia Colman?
