Since when were SNL live performances any good? It’s all the bad technical aspects of poorly mixed live recording with all the soul-sucking experience of watching the spirit of live performance over closed-circuit television.

Also, Boomer Rockers need to just shut up.

That is definitely going pro league. I’ve tried to pull that off a few times (ex-San Diegan, so my home Mexican food game is... all right for a gringo) but always end up scorching it. I don’t think I have the patience.

This, but with the Chihuahua cheese sprinkled on top of uncooked tortillas while cooking. Ups the taco/quesadilla game big time.

Not really upset. Just that it’s the easy joke. I like the sketch because it sort of compiles it all into one place. They’re in a tough spot having to decide between giving in to the darkness and trying to keep things a little more buoyant. And they’ll be criticized either way.

Not sure who the pronoun references... SNL being nihilistic is... well, it’s a thing. I guess it’s better than when they try to be snarky? Not saying the sketch is bad. It’s got a couple laughs in it. And, like I said, they have the responsibility to mark the issues of the week.

SNL has a duty to mock the events of the past week. But that sketch, while accurate, comes off as nihilistic for a show that’s always been 1 1/2 steps above fart jokes.

I’m not religious, but that movie made me hope that if there is an afterlife, that the relationship will food will be EXACTLY how it’s portrayed. And the “Past Lives Pavillion” is still an idea I think about frequently.

Perhaps one of the most underrated comedies of the ‘80s.

There’s definitely a through-line from the James Brooks sitcoms of the ‘70s and ‘80s of “real” people to the exaggerated nihilism of Seinfeld that was sort of the peak of that (in terms of non-animated television... I think it’s still abundant in animated non-kid shows). But I think it’s an odd thing to look at how…

Still (despite the modern problematic nature of... well, at least Aaron) one of my all-time favorite movies. I was just barely too young to watch Albert Brooks on SNL and Lost in America was probably a little too adult for me when it first came out. But god damn did I not become a huge Albert Brooks fan from this…

Back when studios didn’t clear the runway for box office. Hard to think that the kind of busy weekends that were the constant in 82-85 (86?) could ever happen again in the meticulously planned release schedules we have the past few years... or if they will ever happen again because *gestures around at everything*.

I can’t be the first to have looked at the still of that trailer, looked at the title, and immediately thought “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” right?

Perhaps they don’t even know they’re being watched....

Horny teenagers? Sure. That video looks like the kids are 10. 12 max. It’s like a Harmony Korine movie with a score heavily influenced by The Cars.

Hadn’t watched that video in a while and remembered it being like a “Fast Times” homage in style. Just went back... BOY was I wrong.

Christ. That song’s almost 20 years old, but how in the world did that video get made even in 2003?

RIP, Adam Schlesinger, nonetheless.

TikTok apparently. There are many links in the article.

I think they’re two sides of the same coin, frankly. But I dig that there’s a whole proto-Axis Powers style that appears to be directly aimed at the same people who proudly shop at Altar’d State thinking we don’t realize that they’re zealots.

Legit the plot to “Footloose.”

Ironic that the ad for a “Lions not Lambs” hat shows up on this page. 

I mean, after a while, Colbert just became victim to the “this shit isn’t funny anymore” nature of the Trump presidency. But he can thank Trump, and the willingness to just go at him full force early on, for pushing Late Show ahead of Fallon. If Clinton won the election, I think Colbert would’ve been a bust. Trump…
