I’ve been on 3 game shows in the last 9 years and I can attest that the no-prize-if-unaired rule is still around today.

The more I see the guy the more he looks like Slappy from Goosebumps.

Fun fact: The previous exec producers of Jeopardy, Harry Friedman and Steven Mosko, had established a plan almost a decade ago for bringing in a new host with ease and dignity once Alex’s time came. Mosko actually kept a short list of potential candidates by his phone (this began after Trebek suffered a heart…

I disagree. I also remember the 5 win limit, and I personally like the current format better. It isn’t really manufacturing dramatic elements, it just so happens that some people are great Jeopardy contestants, and I find it intriguing to see how long they can win. It also isn’t really a star player going on a winning…

I mean, of course.

I had completely forgotten about Netflix’s ironically cheap looking Richie Rich show, but now I am remembering it and that for some reason Richie’s robot maid went from looking like this:

Yeah, the problem isn’t casting 20 year olds for teens. They do it all the time.

There’s no point trying to grade success in pre-pandemic terms. This is the experiment that Chapek was referring to, though. Given the option between going to the theater or watching at home, people will make whatever choice suits them the best. But given only the option of going to the theater, how many of the people…

Yeah, let’s stop sitting indoors and staring at screens, get out of the house and go to a building where you pay twelve bucks to sit indoors and stare at a screen. But now you’re surrounded by strangers, you can’t pause the movie, and all the food costs $30. This is better, we promise.

In NYC, they actually checked my vaccine card. I was very comforted by that. 

Same with the Spy trailer. I needed something to watch on a plane, I hate the trailers thinking it was gonna be one long fat-joke at Melissa McCarthy’s expense and HOLY SHIT was that movie hilarious and hilariously-subverting.

“Maybe none of the plus-sized actresses were any good?” - I mean, how hard did they try to find qualified candidates? There’s a well documented societal bias against fatness, and given that Murphy and Paulson have a prior working relationship, I’m not convinced he put all that much effort into it.

I just don’t get out of the many, many actresses who fit the physical description of Tripp who can get the role they decide to go with “Sara Paulson in a fat suit” as literally the only person who could do it.

A = Absolutely Watch This Now
B = Be Sure to Watch This Sometime
C = Could Watch This or Skip It
D = Don’t Ever Watch This
F = Fuck it, I Dare You to Watch This

Yeah, a bad tweet 7 years ago and supporting Bean Dad aren’t great, but they’re not on the same level as Richards and Blossom’s bullshit.

On top of that...

Well, at least now I know why Ken Jennings isn’t being seriously considered for the host. And now that more unpleasing stuffs by Mayim Bialik (disclaimer: was one of my favorite guest host) are being unearthed...
