In “I Love You, America”, there was a recurring segment with a male talk show host who was just there to serve as a reassuring presence to the audience, but who had nothing to do. After a few shows, the guy understands he’s just a tool, he leaves and ultimately he joins some group that looks just like the Proud Boys,…

“SCREW YOU JIMMIE PESTO!!!!”

You may recall Jay from this particular Sarah Silverman skit:

Considering the timeline of the women he’s raped, I’d say his downfall has come far too slowly.

I’m sure the women of the world collectively thank you for not taking that risk. 

women are so not worth the risk

I’d really enjoy it if artless edgelords could just up and spontaneously die.

All right, who’s responsible for un-greying this chucklefuck?

Oh, no. How will they cope without your predatory ass?

Yeah, I think it helps that Warner seems actually Christian (as in “love thy neighbor”, doing good works, etc. without all of the other negative bullshit we see a lot of the time) and Levi and Paquin appear the same. See also Sandra Bullock, by all accounts.

I have a friend who is from NYC, and one time he was an extra on Law and Order. He said Jerry Orbach was extremely nice, but Chris Noth was a huge asshole.

I am sorry, but in no universe was Cartman not fucking with Kyle when he was referencing scripture while fucking his wife.  

The show very conveniently elides Ted’s sociopolitical beliefs, despite his being a cis white sports team coach from the south, leaving me to headcanon his stance on a plethora of issues. This is all to say I’m sure he stopped going to Starbucks over the red cups.

I think half of the reason those were so ubiquitous was because they were a way to watch (very) softcore porn without actually watching porn. Oh, and not being actual porn you could rent them at Blockbuster.

An erotic thriller with a generic, here’s two words that go together, title. Directed by Adrian Lyne. Starring an actor in his late 40s whos character is married to an actress in her early 30s.
It sounds like it was pulled from the theatrical release schedule in 1993 and recently found in the Fox vault by a Disney…

Thanks so much for recommending the PBS doc “Finding Lucy.” I’m enjoying this show more than I have anything else in I don’t know how long. Also, my mother adored Lucille Ball so the memories are welcome.

TCM’s The Plot Thickens podcast is also doing a multi-part biography of Lucille Ball right now. As far as these types of podcasts go (point-by-point biographies), I think it’s quite fantastic. It certainly has me firing up the new episodes as soon as they come out.

It’s not just that Aaron Sorkin loves to lionize things that happened a long time ago. He has a particular neoliberal view of American institutions that presents working within the system as the superior method of social change. The movements presented in Chicago 7 were treated with either casual foolishness or…

Hi, Mrs. Sorkin!

Favorite line from an earlier show where Gamera crashes into a riverbed and looks dead.
