At least in the case of MST3K or early Simpsons, the references were never the focus of the gag - they were more of a seasoning that only the most eagle-eyed of observers (or people who watched DVD commentaries) picked up on. Things like slyly recreated shots or semi-quoted bits of dialog inserted for humorous…

So will Eliza Coupe and Elisha Cuthbert be playing her aunts Zelda and Hilda - the Kerkovich sisters?

Where’s Glenn, her creepy neighbor?

Citizen Kane effect. Groundbreaking when it comes out, then tons of movies ape it, to the point where in retrospect it doesn’t seem so special.

If anything, I think It Follows is underrated, partly because people get hung up on things that aren’t really the point, like a) trying to nail down extremely specific rules when part of the point is that no one really knows all the rules and they’re trying to figure the monster out while fleeing for their lives, and…

Music composed by Disasterpeace again, YES!

Kevin’s slow mental breakdown was definitely a highlight, and the fact that the thing that broke him was finding out that Jake didn’t show him the only 2 nic cage movies he might have remotely enjoyed was perfect.

Yeah, definitely don’t see how this is a C episode, personally. This was a great episode that really gave us a fun pairing with Kevin & Jake. The Nicolas Cage gags were a delight

What we really need is more Vincent Price Specials.

I like Kate McKinnon, and I don’t need impressions to be right on the money, but when they have her doing so many different political impressions they all feel the same to me - her vocal inflections, pauses, everything.

“I got a Community notification for this?” - CEO John Landgraf upon seeing the first episode of Atlanta.

It’s criminal that Bloom didn’t even get a nom for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

Crazy Ex-Girlfiend’s got you covered:

Jackson is SO charming in this. That role could have been so stock but the way it’s written and, especially, played make it so much more engaging.

68 Comments says it above, but it can’t be stated enough: she is PHENOMENAL in Legion. Honestly can’t believe she didn’t get an armful of awards after that. I used to hate her too (and I agree she’s not really acting in Parks & Rec), but HOLY SHIT, she is hyperbolically good in Legion. It’s a really good show, but…

This might not turn you into a fan, but she’s VERY different in Ingrid than she is Parks & Rec.

Bite your tongue! Plaza was the best character on Legion.

I’d never seen her on screen before Legion, and my wife and I both thought her performance was the best part of that show. I’m very confused why you thought she was terrible. We were impressed with her.

Plaza’s dance scene on Legion was one of the highlights of the year.
