Oh, another entry for my list of things whose titles use the “____ and other ____” format. People sure love titling things that way.

I’m still not convinced Grimes hasn’t been replaced by a Stepford wife robot built by Musk.

Grace has received an “angry and aggressive” phone call from someone recently who called him a “gay slur”

I know you can, but this would be a gamble for mass-market fast food chains like Mikey D’s and BK in most of the country. People don’t go there to try different things. They want the comfort and familiarity of fast food.

Eh, it’s not really about “the candy bar”, but about brandishing a knife and the implied (or explicit) threat to kill someone over it. I’m guessing that the same thing applied here.  It’s sad, but I really don’t feel *that* bad for someone who brandishes a knife when confronted over stealing a candy bar.

As shitty as the influx of trolls, willful contrarians, bad-faith arguers, reactive conservatives, and condescending pedants have been for the comment section, somehow the crazy number of people who are pop-culture and pop-culture criticism illiterate stings the most. 

Yea I was a little bummed. I loved the interview and kept thinking “wait, is no one else getting this?” I think one lonely guy knew what a Beholder was. The “hide your cats” line should have killed. No survivors out there from the Satanic Panic of the 80s?

Illithids.

My favorite part is that you can basically hear the audience (who applauded at the first mention of “nerds are cool now”) thinking “Mind flayer? What the fuck are they talking about?”

Good comics are great students of human behavior. They have to know what buttons to push to get the response they need, especially on stage. That toolbox applies well for dramatic acting as well.

For a moment that opening made me think that’s I was playing a Fallout game that I’d forgotten I’d turned on.

Man, I would NOT have bet on Todd Bridges being the last surviving member of the Diff’rent Strokes cast.

I mean, she WAS wielding a machete.  The police had no choice.

“but an official cause of death has not been revealed. Rae was 92.”

Well, I have a pretty good guess.

I can only presume SUCCESSION snuck up on a lot of people including critics. Willa Paskin on SLATE did a complete reversal, admitted she was dead wrong in her initial assessment and last week came out with a ringing endorsement of the show and of course AV Club came through in the final minutes of the game. (Hey we…

This show is killing it. Unlike Sharp objects, it actually delivers each episode, instead of using unfulfilled suspense to cover for languid writing and directing.

I didn’t think Blockbuster was the only video rental store in the United States, but that is certainly the narrative the internet is spinning.

The target audience shifting to 2-4 year olds is actually where it went downhill!

So we’re all in favor for spending $80 to have all the streaming services instead of $80 for cable?

So the title will be American _____?
