Yeah, at first I just tuned in for Jillian and Stephen Root, but Newhouse quickly made an impression (once again thanks to the “Funeral” episode, I am giggling to myself just thinking of how shit-faced Billie got and all their slo-mo walking sequences).

I have been crushing on Jillian since Workaholics. I can’t believe the overview didn’t mention her TV series Idiotsitter, since she co-created it and starred in it. The first two episodes were pretty funny, but the third episode “Funeral” was one of funniest things I had seen in years. I am still bummed Comedy Central…

Idiotsitter is worth watching, although right now its only available to stream through the terrible Comedy Central site, which also requires you to have a cable provider.

I mean, she did so well at sexualizing bisexuality at the start of her career...

Yep. Southwest with early bird check in is the way to go.

I don’t always think about how good a singer Bridgers is, but she’s really skilled. Like Neko Case, she’s got a great voice but doesn’t use vibrato that’s tell-tale of a lot of formally trained singers (although I know she actually is classically trained). I think for her genre, her style of singing fits pretty well.

I cannot begin to fathom what it’s like to be so goddamn wrong

Hi there! Class of PPHS 1996 alum here. Also, I’m a professor, anti-racist educator, and vehemently opposed to the current mascot

I think Sorry to Bother You deserves to be on the list if only for its political commentary and probably my favorite plot twist of the year.

I agree with the person who basically said “Have you seen Captain Kirk? Would you really tell THAT guy you had a SISTER??”

Agreed, Get Shorty was great...loved how they actually tied-up the end of Season 2, so even if it doesn’t get another season, you still get closure.

Pretty sad there is no mention of THE EXPANSE. Best sci-fi show on TV, although this season had one plotline that didn’t really work (looking at you Clarissa Mao), it was still brilliant TV. I’d also throw a bone at a lot of animated series (STEVEN UNIVERSE, ADVENTURE TIME, SHE-RA, VOLTRON, HILDA, STAR VS. THE FORCES…

The Tale shouldn’t be on the list, but only because it’s a film, and it’s in my Top 10 films of the year.

Trump is a piece of shit. He and his supporters should be reminded regularly and loudly.

This episode – especially all the real life celebration footage at the end – was so clearly McElhenny’s love letter to his city that even I, a born and raised Masshole of 25 years, teared up a little. 

Well, she managed to lose only after winning three million more votes, a concerted smear campaign by foreign actors and running in the first presidential election after the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, but whatever . . .

Capitalism remains the true, mustache twirling evil.

How about all us non-Satanists and non-Christians just really stop and think about this for a second.
