I’m excited for this. People forget Mike Myers is funny. It’s like Sandler - a bunch of humorless Gen X’rs and millennials think they’re above Myers now too. They don’t have the grace or clarity to let themselves enjoy him. This seems super cozy and funny. I also like conspiracy theories, so the subject matter is…

Whenever I see accusations of ‘centrism’ bandied about it’s nearly always used by self-styled ‘socialists’ in reference to someone who promotes a more nuanced viewed of society than just ‘capitalism bad.’

Yeah, it’s hard for me to understand how you could watch the show and come to the conclusion that “we can’t/shouldn’t do anything” is the message. The show takes great pains to lay out a variety of systemic failures built into America’s institutions, the complexity of the problems that causes, and it has a jaundiced…

No it isn’t.

The Wire’s central thesis in every single season is that caring about raw numbers ruins everything and that the actual nuance of human life cannot be translated to easily digestible numbers and all-encompassing anecdotes - and yet we not only try to make it work, we deliberately engineer things to make sure this…

The point of The Wire is to show that the drug trade in Baltimore is not caused by one thing, it’s caused by a system corrupt to its core from top to bottom. Schools are underfunded and that leads to kids making poor decisions when young. The police department is improperly motivated leading to them focusing on the…

“So that’s it? So long, good luck?”

The story behind his Nebula award was the sort of joke you see coming but was still hilarious.

Those two episodes were incredible. 

That’s a bummer. His character was one of the many clever bits on the show (if not always the best written in C plots). At least we got the spectacular “Backstory” two part story in this last season, which left his character’s arc in about as a good a place as it could.

My favourite part of all the new Star Trek shows are the manbabies losing their shit over it.

You mean they want to know who besides Matt Gaetz?

Frank Langella’s one of those people who doesn’t have an Oscar but really should.

I could also ask Alexa.

Discovery and Picard are fine Star Trek shows. Too many of the naysayers have idyllic memories of TNG or DS9 and fail to apply the same criticism the lay on Discovery to thier beloved series. Too many don’t know how to process a show that doesn’t reset to the status quo at the end of the hour and leaves them with an em…

No one’s arguing here, mate.

“He gave us this!”

I never understand what the fuck you’re typing, though it has the cadence of something clever

It wasn’t that funny, but this is certainly an exaggeration. Nimoy’s head’s low-key “I don’t do that anymore” when Fry asks him to do the Vulcan salute, or George Foreman’s head and Rich Little’s head impersonating Howard Cosell -- “Interesting side note: as a head in a jar, I envy the dead.” “No argument there.” are…

If only there was a pop culture site that really catered to promoting this kind of information with a supportive community and writers rewarded for their dedication.
