Thanks! I actually found a bunch of them on Tubi last night. I watched Carlin at Carnegie for the first time in probably 25 years.

One of my favorite Carlin memories was only Carlin-adjacent. Back in the early-ish 80's, my dad got HBO and, clearly having seen Carlin only on the Tonight Show, gleefully gathered me, my brother, and my sister (who was only 7 or 8 at the time) together to watch Carlin’s special.

“Lots of my friends have babies. I don’t have any babies, but I have lots of friends. Babies don’t have any friends.”

Binging is Netflix's thing, it's their calling card. They seem to be trying everything they can to not give it up whilst acknowledging that maybe it's not sustainable.

Audience entitlement? Don’t forget the backlash when Amazon Prime switched The Boys to a weekly release. Angry fans review bombed the show on Rotten Tomatoes and other sites, for no other reason than they hated the weekly format after becoming accustomed to full season releases.

“A water landing!  Am I mistaken or does this sound somewhat similar to crashing into the fuckin’ ocean?”  

Weekly episodes create a fan mania for popular shows. Westworld would never have been the hit it was if everyone had binged it in one weekend. By HBO slowly revealing the mystery, fans feverishly rushed to chat rooms and forums every Sunday night to debate what that week’s episode meant and where it was leading. You…

I hadn’t seen Steven Wright in years.

Jon Stewart’s comparison of Carlin and Vonnegut was one I never thought of before, but a very good one.

I hope that TPTB are satisfied now that all of the sites are now just listicle generators. Seems to be 80% of content now.

Do any of them talk about my car’s extended warranty?

That skit is definitely one of his best. My favorite line is when he references them welcoming you to the airport after you land... “How can someone just arriving themselves possibly welcome me to a place they’re not even at yet?!”

Sometimes simple is best:

I absolutely love this show’s set and prop design for the Enterprise. Trapezoids and big solid hues with abstract decorations and gear. Instead of slavishly reproducing the original show’s zero budget sets they leaned into the shapes and colors and filled it out with a lived in baroque aesthetic that appears to just…

Why Does Jurassic Park Still Rule Almost 30 Years Later?

You’re joking, right? He was in THREE Marvel movies (Far From Home, cameo in Endgame and Captain Marvel) in 2019. Also, he’s Samuel L. Jackson. He’s a logical host any year.

The best thing I can say about Miles Teller is that he’s unencumbered by personality.

Jackson only hosted SNL once in 1998, but he had a cameo in the sketch embedded in the article about ten years ago. “What Up With That” often had a random celebrity or three on it besides the weekly host.

Either the infinite scroll caught you out or this is one of the best didn’t-read-the-article comments I’ve seen.

You don’t ask someone to marry you five minutes after meeting them, usually. Especially when they’re religious zealots who just tried to kill you. Pike offering membership to the Kiley last week was an exceptional case given their specific circumstances, not standard procedure.
