I think we’ve collectively decided to erase Chris Gaines from the public consciousness.

It’s not unprecedented for the host to also be the musical guest. Justin Timberlake and Miley Cyrus have done it recently, along with Lady Gaga, Mick Jagger, Elton John, Paul Simon and others.

I really didn’t know what to make of her watching the theme song. I mean, I think it was mostly just a silly meta-joke, but what was she supposed to have been actually watching? Was that what she imagined she was seeing?

Yeah, I was excited for del Toro’s movie before that went sideways.

They should just remake The Hobbit as a limited-run miniseries. The story is so episodic that I think it would work really well that way, and we could all just watch it instead of Peter Jackson’s movies.

It’s interesting seeing Mario Odyssey categorized as “open world,” seeing as it’s not really any more open-world than Mario 64 or Mario Sunshine before it. There are still a set of distinct stages that you travel between.

It’s definitely a very good show whose value is not really in the twist(s), if that’s what you’re asking.

We had to rewind about five times after laughing too hard at Andrea Martin’s delivery of “Who put this skellerton in my path?!” to hear subsequent dialogue.

I think they just rejiggered the categorization slightly as part of the Kinjocolypse.

Although Melissa kind of caused that heart attack, right? I mean, who on earth has sex for thirty-six consecutive hours living on only energy drinks?

FYI, that set of strips ran in 1989!

No. There was an infamous Halloween storyline that posited this (which I believe is what O’Neal is referring to here), but it was, as one might expect, ultimately revealed to have been “all a dream.”

Complaining about Phil not actually being “the last man on earth” is about as tired as complaining that they keep making Final Fantasy/Final Destination sequels in spite of the title having “Final” in it.

Yeah, the problem, as always, is when people make jokes that are “punching down” rather than up.

A lot of times her point seems to suffer by trying to make every issue about how it affects middle-to-upper-class white women. Which, I mean, write what you know and all, but the constant “the REAL victim here is ME!”-ing can come across as tone deaf.

A common theme on a lot of these is just that they’re too long, which I think is exacerbated by binge-ing. I’d add the Game Of Thrones theme to this list along side Orange is the New Black and The Wire for that reason.

They also do a new theme every season, so if you don’t like it (it sounds like you’re talking about the first season theme) you just have to wait for S2, whose theme is way better for my money.

She was in the Netflix show “Love” as one of the stars of the show-within-the-show, “Witchita” (that was the other thing I recognized her from, at least).

The text of the movie makes it pretty obvious why they latched onto it though. Maybe we need less stories about how unremarkable white dudes are secretly chosen-one saviors?

To illustrate your point, this is the second *Ryan Gosling* movie in *four years* that had it’s premiere cancelled do to a mass shooting (the other being 2013's GANSTER SQUAD).
