Serious bourbon drinkers who can smell and taste 8 different aromas in a glass are insufferable and probably full of shit, but the nice thing about bourbon is the trend is against judging others for what they drink—you like what you like. Beer, on the other hand, is still in the thrall of Big IPA and one has to defend…

But what if your love for these bands is like water, pinned down and abused for being strange?

“Is it any wonder that Glass, like the Tim Burton Batman movies, is much more interested in its bad guys than its good one, especially once Elijah stirs back to life, awakened like The Joker in The Dark Knight Returns by the reappearance of his adversary?”

This is delightful, but my 2018 isn’t over until I get a Least Essential Albums column.

This is great, but is there seriously no “Least Essential Albums” list coming for 2018?

LET ME TELL YA SOMETHIN’ MEAN GENE! RIP

Shit. “Surrounded by family and friends” and “doing well under the circumstances” sounds really scary (as does Will Leitch’s tweet about what a rough few days it’s been). Really sad to hear about this and hoping you are going to be ok, Drew. When anyone asks me my opinion on anything I pretty much just point them to…

And now I’m crying at my desk. Damn you Julien Baker.

So nobody here listens to this podcast or reads its website but definitely knows that it sucks?

Has show ever had as much contempt for its own audience as the TWD? 

This video should have been 30 minutes longer.

This is not a serious piece of writing and I am annoyed that I clicked on it and actually read it.

Good point that Huell’s specific case isn’t particularly “evil,” but Jimmy’s cell phone business that led to the assault on a cop is clearly shady and the way Kim and Jimmy got him cleared was a con.

I’ve been complaining about this show some for the past few weeks, but damn if that moment where Kim shuts up the apologizing Jimmy with that kiss didn’t reinvigorate this season. While the first half has seen Kim and Jimmy grow apart, this episode sets up what will really propel the action going forward. Jimmy does…

That was definitely Burl Ives singing Big Rock Candy Mountain, not Pete Seeger.

Still not corrected. I guess AV Club comments just don’t matter anymore.

Questlove is in the back. Black Thought is shaking the sneaker in the front.

Norm is the antidote for today’s penchant to look to comedians for insightful social and political commentary. Norm is funny, but why would anyone expect his take on any of these issues to be particularly enlightened?

That bugged me too. In other contexts the writers have done a great job of depicting lawyering and the legal profession, but sometimes they ditch reality for the sake of plotting.

The padding out of the run time on this show has gotten so egregious, that when Jimmy unwrapped that pallet of cell phones I said, “They are going to make us watch him carry each stack of those phones into the nail salon, aren’t they?” And sure enough they did. I’ve never really had a problem with the showier music…
