Heidi is good at characters, but the writing on these fall into the worst SNL trait of “introduce character’s premise and do nothing else but that for six minutes with no variation”. They’re well-acted, but once you see the first 30seconds and that’s all you need to see since they don’t build to more.

It’s likely my ignorant, uninformed assumptions about how tough it was on the streets in the 70s, but far more of the characters survived the past 5 years than I thought. When I heard about the time jump, I figured we’d still have Franco and Gyllenhaal, of course, but that most of the prostitutes and pimps would have…

One of the guests on the podcast “I Was There Too” was the guy who had played that part. The story of filming that scene was fascinating, especially how much Spielberg was involved in it.

Hey, at least the original Bad News Bears didn’t hide what it was and put all the racial slurs in the trailer. Including the the N-word. In a PG film.

Yellow Submarine has its moments. The proper comparison to Red Delicious is the Jeff Lynne Anthology  tracks with the “Threetles”

He’ll be the next Attoney General when Trump shitcans Sessions

We’re in far worse shape than Idiocracy at least they got President Camacho. We got a racist, moronic pile of orange shit.

Halfway through this comment I realized I was reading it in Jessie Pinkman’s voice.  Just needed a “yo” and a “bitch” in there and it’d be a perfect impression 

I hated Hank in the first episode, not only because of his dickishness but also because the character seemed to be such a boring alpha jock cliche.  Then he became beloved. Great writing and acting there. 

Oh, so it’s a Papa Johns

Rachel Dolezal on line two

I’m on my 4th watch of the series and still amazed by the writing, direction, and performances. Right now it has the potential to edge out Parks and Rec as the better show, and that says a ton. 

My stomach hurts 

I like McKinnon, but her creepy Mueller character should have immediately disqualified her. And Leslie Jones still can barely get her lines out without stumbling over them in most sketches.

I’m not much happier about Alec Baldwin getting another nod for his pretty one-note Trump “impression”. However, very glad Henry Winkler got one for Barry.

Much like how the Breaking Bad team said they learned important lessons in what not to do from Lost, this show needs to avoid the mistakes of Lost and especially The Walking Dead as they go forward. 

It’s adorably sad how hard they’re trying for fist-pumping badassery with the songs. 

Yes to all this. The gradual crawl towards redemption for Serena was really troubling this season, especially since the writers undo all of that by having her turn evil over and over again on a dime.

I want to divorce then remarry my wife solely to hire a drummer to accompany the music in order to lure Todd to hover in the background. 

Just attempting a sequel to that classic episode seemed a fool’s errand, yet I was saying that even if it was only half as good it’d still be pretty good because the first may be my favorite episode of any podcast. But surprisingly they came pretty damned close to matching the original. The story of Todd awkwardly…
