Can this be the one “history of punk” documentary that doesn’t do the thing where punk turns into white reggae and then nothing happens and nothing happens and nothing happens and then it’s the ‘90s and here comes Nirvana and grunge and Green Day and whoops that’s all we’ve got time for, goodnight everybody!

Once again, this reviewer sees what appears to be a left leaning arc, latches on to it and completely misses the point. This episode was not “anti-capitalist,” it was anti-monopolist. It showed the dangers of what happens when a company becomes too big to fail and had a parasitic relationship with its employees who…
A fun episode. I lost it at the Mall scene. That was hilarious. And you don’t see it much in SP, but the music in this episode worked well. Looking forward to the 2nd half.
A little less than 20 years ago, a still-finding-its-legs South Park aired a memorable episode called “Gnomes,” which focused both on the omnipresence of Starbucks Coffee (named Harbucks in the episode), as well as little gnomes that steal your underpants in the night, with their ultimate goal being “profit.” That…
Beck Bennett on Update was the highlight of the entire show. His cadence killed me.
It’s crazy that Pete Davidson has now played Grandpa Joe more than once on SNL.

Norm literally made Frank Stallone into a punchline. On Stallone's Wikipedia page, the section about the joke is longer than his actual career.
Ebert once said that it was DeNiro, Pacino, and Cage, and then everyone else.
He’s right. Like, we all rag on Cage for being goofy, but multiple great directors— Herzog, Lynch, the Coens, Jonze, Scorcese —have all sought him out and done great work with him. Lynch and Herzog especially singled him out as being a joy to work with.
Nicholas Cage is, without any irony, one of the greatest goddamn actors of all time. I am always up for watching him perform.
Best of luck, Ignatiy. You had an absolutely stellar, inspiring run here.
And Moe Szyslak as the narrator.
“Summer of 4 ft 2" has to be the definitive “summer” episode of The Simpsons. As a kid who absolutely hated the neighborhood he grew up in and the school he attended, that very notion of totally reinventing yourself in an area where no one knows you (ala Lisa and her friends) stuck with me, and remains a Top 10 All…
