Trying to decide which show is better is just about the least interesting approach to both shows.
can everyone please shut up about how this shouldn’t be reviewed episode-by-episode? av club did a full review of the season in another article and gave it a B+, end of story.
The first 20 or so minutes of Pickle Rick are great, but not any better than an average Rick and Morty episode. It’s the last five minutes, that mic drop moment where the therapist tears Rick apart so easily, that pushes the episode into legendary statis. It forces viewers to rethink the rest of the episode, the…
I'm not cool with hypothesizing about his suicide and relating it at all to this. Unless someone comes forward let's just let that one be.
The criticism of this new category is justified, but in all seriousness I do think there is room for two “Best Picture” awards. But the criteria I’d establish would be something more along the lines of “Best Picture - Studio Production” and “Best Picture - Independent Production.” Since Studio pictures tend to be…
This comment was a rollercoaster that I totally agree with
I don’t see how a Walt or Jesse cameo could come off as anything but really tacky fan service. I mean, maybe—maybe?—Jesse crossed paths with Nacho at some point. But.. why? What do we get out of that? I much prefer the idea that Jesse’s closest link to the drug cartel underbelly of the ABQ would never have gotten…
Call me crazy, but maybe viewers got tired of a show that insisted on beating them over the head with the fact that they, i.e. humans are rotten bad simplistic people. And thing thing is, it’s misanthropy wasn’t nuanced or anything like, say, Kubrick’s criticisms of humanity. It was very basic, sophomoric level stuff…
“For the most part the writing in this series has been top-notch.”
I can’t wait for Westworld: Season Three -Altered Matrix Galactica Carbon.
A misquote of a misquote (from Deadline) of a very different article. Great job, guys.

Fury Road was brilliant and deserved the cinematography Oscar that went to, sigh, Lubezki.
I am perfectly fine with working in digital, but i confess I have a harder time distinguishing them now, because everyone shoots with the same camera.
With film, there were different stocks and different lab techniques and you…
Cinematographer chiming in here. Yes, yes, yes! The Cinematography Oscar seldom goes to the best, the most artistic cinematography. It goes to the MOST cinematography. Most colorful, most epic, most showy. It’s why Lubezki won three Oscars in a row. Yes, he’s a master, but he’s also really adept at giving the academy…
Future Man really grew on me. I have no idea where a second season would go but I’m looking forward to it.
It’s a testament to the sheer joyful madness of Legion that it could probably fill this entire list all by itself. Aubrey Plaza dancing to Nina Simone. Jemaine Clement talking directly to the audience. The silent movie sequence. The bollywood dance number. The list goes on and on and on.
Yes! No. Maybe? There were too many negatives in that question...
This was the first episode of this hilarious show to actually choke me up. It was practically a two-hander bottle episode with brief, great cameos from the rest of the cast. And it was fantastic, because Ted Danson and Darcy Carden are fantastic together. I binged the whole first season last week, and it only…
I would sacrifice every episode of Rick & Morty that has been or ever will be for one more season (or, hell, even one more episode) of Community. There, I said it. I’m not ashamed.
