God, I'm not even an objectivist, but this circlejerk of bashing it is so obnoxious I'm going to devil's advocate it anyway.

I don't care if it's Dan Harmon, Pope Francis, Hayao Miyazaki, Buddha, or Supergod manifested on Earth. If it's a live tweeting session, it shouldn't be news.

It doesn't. I think people just fell so completely in love with Serial that they gave Black Tapes too much credit when it aped it.

Probably Blue Velvet, The Straight Story, or Elephant Man. They're the most conventional ones, anyway.

Hot Ghetto Mess is the rap song that plays in a constant loop in Jason's brain.

No dude, this is hyperbole: Brooklyn Nine Nine is a passably entertaining show.

I think this actually sounds a bit better than the podcast eventually became for me. Something that eventually got on my nerves about Welcome to Night Vale was how all the random supposedly creepy shit kept piling up and none of it ever really seemed to impact on anything else, which made it impossible to care about…

WHAT!? This is the guy who referenced and namedropped his own productions all the time in his 90s WB cartoons.

Movie star playing a role = It will be harder for me to suspend my disbelief that this character is who they claim to be and in the situation they are supposed to be in.
Fuck that. Don't raise her pay, drop every star's pay down by sticking to unknowns for awhile. Make movies be more about ideas and craft. If nothing…

Plus those Ninja Rope endorsement checks.

So if this were looped a few times and released as a new episode, would it get an A- from the TV Club or would they lower it all the way down to a B+?

Is that anyway to talk about your parent company, Threepwood!?

How high of a markup is that? From what I read, those Star Destroyer models could cost tens of thousands of dollars each back in the 70s, so it doesn't seem so insanely high.

Which one of them steals the D from the Hollywoo sign?

I can't stand Rick and Morty. I understand other people's affection for it and clearly there's effort put into the writing and animation, but Jesus any time the two main leads open their mouths I want to cut something to distract myself.

Isn't The Last Unicorn respected more for its twists on the story, characters, and themes than it is for its technical accomplishments? Basically, seems like people think it's a decent script that wasn't brought to the screen very well.

Well, how funny is Janet Reno raiding Gonzalez's house in a bunny costume now?

Kane bugged me because it never really felt like the nonlinear storytelling added anything. It seemed like if you saw young, supposedly likable Kane first and then saw him push everyone away and try to seek unsatisfying solace in memories of his childhood at the end it would make that decline resonate more than the…

Herzog is also considerate enough to let the interview subjects finish a paragraph every once in awhile.

I hate Serial's unfortunately influential format of "narrator constantly butts in." It's like Errol Morris's technique of using polished film technique's to make audience's skeptical, but it's put front and center so that its insufferable.
