It's been tough out there for Guzman ever since he was replaced by a younger model, Michael Pena.

It was a shitty position, and Spicer acquitted himself terribly

Heh, I came here wondering if Mr. Hardwick had heard how bad they were preparing for it on this week's MBMBAM and thought it best just to cancel the whole show preemptively.

Saw Baby Driver, which I loved. I understand others' complaints about Debora not having a lot of strong independence, but I thought she and Baby had such great charisma that I was instantaneously sold on their romance. And let's face it, this whole movie exists in a kind of fantasy world*, so the…

24: LAD is such great 24-style trash. It's basically everything you could want out of 24, condensed down to 12 lean hours with none of the usual fluff. My only complaint is I wish in the finale, when they jump ahead 12 hours, they had implied another 12 hours of insane stuff had happened that we just didn't get to…

Yeah, I definitely thought they were making fun of an autistic guy there, which seemed weird and unusually cruel.

I was watching the guest stars during the opening credits, and seeing some I didn't recognized thought "ooh, maybe Krystal will be back… oh god dammit."

Grr, c'mon AV Club. Your last article mentioned neither that they had a new album, nor that it had a release date. Far be it for me to ask for less political coverage, but maybe you could at least cover the bigger pop culture stories like this?

While at first I thought it looked kinda dumb, what appears to be him recapping his Civil War involvement through a series of Snapchats or whatever actually looks pretty fun.

Whatever sympathy this podcast was trying to gin up for the townspeople completely evaporated for me when the K3 lumber guy answered the KKK question by gloating about defeating the left-wing and electing Trump. (Not to mention the way they side-stepped John B.'s misogyny.) I was like, oh yeah, most of the charming…

Oh god, I loved that guy. It's like getting a bullet in the brain instantly turned him into a hype-man 24/7.

My favorite part of the first one was how during the big climax they took the strong female character and literally sent her to space.

The Mary Sue criticism is well earned.

Even Darth Hitler didn't use red dust against Imperial Walkers.

I'm not as opposed to handful-of-episodes pre-season reviews as most, but it seems strange to knock the show for how it *might* get derailed by the involvement of Gus.

Writing your own acclaimed series is a pretty diabolical way of getting free vacations. Maybe at the end of this season he'll decide what he *really* wants is to be a supermodel photographer in St. Croix.

I was always a little curious if they turned it down more because they thought accepting it would've broken the whole game, and didn't want to do that to Griffin. Meanwhile, there's Griffin, all "c'mon guys! go for it! I'm ready!"

I was kinda blown away by the revelation that Griffin had whole alternate storylines for Magnus he had to throw away. I'd looooove for them to record some donors-only "deleted scenes" episodes of them playing out those scenarios.

Blockbusters seem to be going through a nice little course-correction in that regard. In addition to Beyond, the last 3 MCU movies (Strange, Civil War, Antman) and Deadpool had much lower-scale conflict. Hopefully we'll have recovered a bit for Infinity War.

Huh, interesting. Maybe it's just the cut of this trailer, but this seems to fall more on the farcical comedy side of the Coen scale than the previous seasons.
