Every time I try to picture Charlie Day in my head, I picture Joshua Gomez instead.

She also pops up in a couple of episodes of Happy Endings as an acquaintance who is impossible to escape once she's been encountered.

Actually, they knew everything about every field, not just their own. Bolivar Trask was an anthropologist but somehow that qualified him to design and build a race of giant mutant-hating robots.

Exactly. He seems unable or unwilling to put in the work of actual storytelling. He comes up with the basic skeleton of a decent story, then stops there. He doesn't seem able to add interesting meat to the bones and fills the space with repetitive dialogue.

A Bendis scripted event is a must to avoid.

Wieners After The Watershed really needs to be an album title.

Will it include the arc where MJ gets the cancer from Petey's radioactive jizz?

Thanks to having had very cool older brothers, my favorite album when I was 12 years old was Here Come the Warm Jets. I'm good sticking with that.

I've always liked LCD Soundsystem very much, but I do wish that the people who always proclaimed that LCD Soundsystem is a very, very important band the most loudly weren't LCD Soundsystem.

Yeah, watching it now I'm convinced that Dennis was the great under-rated beauty of the 90s. Plus, she went on to become an important producer and songwriter and was responsible for Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head," the best dance track of the 21st century.

The Cathy Dennis song I refer to above was "Touch Me (All Night Long)." I had remembered the boob window, but had forgotten that most of the video is her getting felt up by anonymous hands.

Well, this was back when most NPR stations were predominantly classical music stations, with Morning Edition and All Things Considered tossed in, and on weekends there'd be Car Talk, Whaddaya Know and Prairie Home Companion.

Back in the early 90s, my office at work was in the basement of the building, so only three radio stations came in - the right wing talk station (which I credit for turning me into a Democrat), the NPR/classical station (fine, but tiresome after a while) and the top 40 station, which ended up being my default choice.

I think most of these stay away from the "Jesus is my girlfriend" song. If they want to write straightforward love songs, they'll write them, and if they want to write about God, they do.

I definitely agree on that point, and a lot of Christian rock is indeed just that sort of crap. But the bands I listed were in general serious and thoughtful people making albums that dealt honestly with living with their faith. None of them ever really tried to strike a phony sort of pose in their work.

Anyone who dismisses the genre of Christian rock as terrible in its entirety has never listened to albums like The Turning by Leslie Phillips, Dig by Adam Again, Darn Floor Big Bite by Daniel Amos, Chase the Kangaroo by the Choir, Mercury by the Prayer Chain or anything by Starflyer 59, Joy Electric or the Danielson…

The AVClub often does a sort of overview for a season based on preview episodes sent out in advance. I imagine they'll still do individual recaps once the season actually begins streaming.

He was very good at startled, high-pitched exclamations of "OH" in that one movie.

The guy allows his little brother to be molested. I don't really see that as portraying himself as "perfect." He's also pretty maddeningly passive and sticks with his habits and routines long after he's figured out that his parents' version of Christianity is utter bullshit. He's prickly and easily offended and gets…

I had to spend a big chunk of every Christmas break of the early 80s stranded at the Illinois Southern Baptist equivalent of the evangelical rallies Thompson was stuck attending. I definitely shared his bewilderment at the whole enterprise, where it seemed like at least 98% of the other attendees were from a different…
