I’ve started to have some real strong opinions about room decor that are pretty rich coming from a guy who has three rooms in his apartment, decorated as “Bare white walls with minimal furniture,” “White walls with nothing on them and just a bed,” and “bathroom.” If one good thing has come from this, though, I’ve…

Oh, the bookshelves.  Almost part of the narrative itself.  Do the books change over time?  Are they matching colors?  Are there knick knacks?  If so, are they well organized?  Then you’d see the rare commentator with bookshelf habits like the rest of us -- unmatched colors, books horizontally on top of books, coffee…

I worked on the Commish TV movies. It was a cheap crew hat. Like the plastic adjustable strap kind. I considered trying to spin that into an exciting story.  Couldn’t.

Even like, when SNL did the first ‘from home’ shows, I was like ... why did NBC not buy these people some $200 webcams or something with a $100 mic and some lights? Jesus... it looks like me just using my webcam built into my computer or phone. It doesn’t even take a TON of money to improve that stuff massively. Look…

I went with my parents to the one that was in Vancouver once. The “movie memorabilia” by the hostess stand was a a “Commish” crew hat. This was the same hat I had on my head. The food was garbage and costly, the atmosphere was perfunctory, and the stuff on the walls was chintzy. Lousy experience, all in all.

in this case, this isn’t a sourced quote from “somewhere else”—it’s from a video interview we did with Toni, which is explained in the writing (plus the full video is at the top of the post).

Peewee (and Fred Willard) were caught masturbating in a dark porn theater.

Last week, I commented, saying that i gave up on what is going on on the show vs what makes sense in real life.

So, Aunt Lydia went from has-been fuck-up forced into mercy retirement to Big Boss of all Aunts, including those who were forcing her into retirement a couple episodes ago? And all thanks to the maneuvering of a formerly disgraced commander who was in turn this close to be executed as a traitor?

I was about to write the same things. Isn’t Gilead a fascist regime with an obsession for control? All those Eyes and Guardians, V for Vendetta-like? And then Nick just go called on his phone, “Hey man, what’s up. Listen, would you like to come to Canada to meet June & possibly your daughter? You would? Terrific. How d…

I’m upset that I’m not enjoying this season the same way everyone else seems to be. The show has broken so many of the rules of the world it so masterfully created in the first two seasons (I’m even a s3 apologist), but now it’s gone too far. The only characters who have sensical arcs, and whose motivations seem to…

They weren’t using a regular phone for that call.

You and me both. Unforgivable.

I’m still pissed i went to HBO Max to find not only did they NOT have season 2 of This Time with Alan Partridge but they apparently yanked season one as well as all other Alan Partridge related content! WTF??

At least when Justified was on, Bronco prices weren’t as cazy as they are now.

I think watching the first few seasons shows support and shows that audiences want to watch shows that honestly and faithfully portrays people with different backgrounds and experiences than themselves. Personally I think that seeing other people’s experiences and perspectives can be very compelling television as long…

Wow. Not only is this racially insensitive and lacking context, but it littered with inaccuracies. You should be ashamed of yourself.

though, I’m not sure if watching it is helping to show support for a show with a majority-Asian cast, or tacitly accepting the exclusion of East Asian writers and input in the creative process about an explicitly Korean/Korean-Canadian experience.

Watching it is doing both, but hopefully the showing support outweighs the accepting exclusion. I haven’t watched the show before either, but based on praise I’ve heard from other it sounds like there are still some quality storylines. And this is blowing up big enough that maybe future productions will feel more…

I’ve increasingly noticed pop culture writers, particularly of the younger Millennial/Zoomer variety, tending to assume that everyone is just as Always Online as they are.
