I love Al Gores comments on the episode. He truly appreciated that they apologized to him in it and did a 180 on their views.

It is all bad--for the a****es that want all women pregnant, married, and submissive.  If women can prevent pregnancies from happening, they have actual agency and some freedom from the old white cis men who think Handmaid's Tale is a guidebook to the future.

These... mostly aren’t “classic”. Although you kind of handcuffed yourself with the subpremise of “speaking to the current moment”. A smarter slideshow could have spoken to the current moment with some of the good and some of the bad. Bring up Manbearpig and analyze that. Or the Trans Dolphin.

Fielder researched Asperger’s syndrome while fine-tuning his TV persona, but he rejects any suggestion his character is on the spectrum. “There’s a lot of social disconnects that people experience all the time that have nothing to do with autism or anything,” he says. When I ask if he’s ever wondered whether he has a…

It’s easy to pick South Park episodes that speak to our current moment when you’re picking them from our current moment. 

not to be too literal... but for me, it feels kind of clear that the viewer is intended to mainly relate to Nathan as author/filmmaker, with the emotional draw being (as he described in this episode) the absurdity of modern life, as heightened and illuminated by paradoxical meta performances. even though that scene…

I’m getting the sense you don’t realize that the Nathan Fielder we see is a comic persona developed by Nathan Fielder the creative mastermind.

I watched so you don’t have to:

So expect some Doctor-on-Doctor action

I’d noticed this weird slew of “antidepressants aren’t based in science” messages on social media before I deleted all of it altogether, it was so disheartening! Before meds, I also tried “clean eating,” regular exercise before work, stable sleep schedule, meditation, etc. I think medication just amplified the…

I had an acquaintance who died of an aneurysm and who was a registered donor. Medical professionals often consider these deaths ideal for organ donation. They can keep the heart beating on life support even after the person has been declared deceased (i.e. brain dead). It allows them to keep the organs healthy and…

A tragic death under tragic circumstances. It’s a miracle no one else was hurt in the car accident. Even if she was at fault (via driving OUI), she paid the ultimate price--giving her a ton of posthumous shit is a little pointless, not to mention tasteless. RIP. 

Yeah, read about her upbringing...Jesus. Wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

A sad ending to a life filled with spectacular ups and downs. My thoughts are with her family, especially her two sons. 

Conservative yass qween social media is doing something similar with birth control. It started with just hormonal birth control, but now they appear to be drifting gleefully toward saying *all* birth control is bad for you.

One the Flash as a character is a tentpole of the IP, so if you made the product you run with it. I think if you asked the casual movie goer if they knew Batgirl was a comic book character they would say no.

“Whatever reason” is mainly animation—a ton of people who never touched a comic book saw the Super Friends, and later the Justice League/JLU tv series. The Avengers didn’t have anything similar until after the MCU got going. The Marvel properties that did (Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Hulk) were the big movie…

the only people who care about this movie are investors.

For your next go, try 50:50 mayo and Greek yogurt. The acid in the yogurt tenderizes the chicken faster. YUM.
