Agreed. A lot of the dread in the childhood scenes is built up through seeing how broken everyone is as an adult, and how horrified they are to have to face It again.

A podcast so creative and unique that all I know about it is its name.

At least Todd is a person to some extent; the America's Funniest home Videos theme songstress really gets on my nerves. I mean, I get it: the song is bad.

To me it felt like Arya didn't learn anything, though (other than Mission Impossible-style face swapping). This felt more like if Luke landed on Dagobah, screamed at the little green guy for eating his space-rations, then found out the little green guy was Yoda and split the scene.

I really think sending Arya to study with the Faceless Men only to send her back was a narrative misstep, unless the incomplete-ness of her training ends up blowing up in her face.

In their defense, that scene was super dark, the light was flickering, and the editing was pretty hectic.

Our mall had an antiques/swords/armor store there that inexplicably stayed in business.

I bet Bret Easton Ellis is hitting peak smug levels right now.

As someone who worked in a mall Teavana for a summer in 2009 I couldn't be happier. The job was pitched as retail, but it was really sales. After I refused to upsell $75 cast-iron teapots, my manager put me on duty making tea drinks, which we sold but were discouraged from selling alone and were meant to sell more…

Come to think of it, Pitchfork is going through that arc too.

I haven't connected with Hug of Thunder yet. I don't hate it, but it just sounds like noise to me.

Okay Bradley Cooper wasn't in the trailer but was DJ Ski Mask in there? They are the same person.

I believe it represented the act of sledding.

My dear boy why do you say that, why do you say "t-whurrrrr?"

Would that it were so simple.

We reached this conclusion years ago, internet!

Whatever. She looks like a horse!

The Hard Times has no right to consistently hit it out of the park with such a niche premise.

I'm glad they've broken through the glass ceiling and proven it's annoying no matter who does it.

My first introduction to him was the Late Great Daniel Johnston compilation, which had one disc of 18 songs across his career, while the second disc was the same songs, all covered by folks like Beck, TV on the Radio, Tom Waits and others. It definitely helped to hear a polished interpretation of the songs.
