I like Whittaker. I like Bradley Walsh’s Graham, who feels to me like the only one of the three companions that they really thought through (the other two actors are fine, they just haven’t been given much to do on the whole, especially Yaz). The only episodes that have really, really worked for me were the…

The runaway train scene in Incredibles 2. Maybe my favorite action scene in a superhero movie ever, using the freedom of animation to not only ramp up the intensity but to showcase both Elastigirl's powers and her intelligence. I think it's fair to say there's a tip of the hat to the Spider-Man 2 train scene but I…

Paddington Bear. Classy, endlessly polite, could give a hard stare to acceptance speeches which ran too long. 

Obviously this was Carden's showcase and she was great but I also really appreciated how Danson played Michael's growing realization that the system may be even more broken than he suspected. 

1. Hand the statue to any of the nominees in the category.

That Comedy Writing category is really impressive. Mrs. Maisel isn't to my personal taste but I respect its distinctive style.

Happy to see the nominations for A Very English Scandal. Hugh Grant gives easily the best performance I've ever seen him give in it. He's corrupt and compromised to his core.

I have started to adopt Tahani’s way of name-dropping (“As I was saying at hot yoga with my friends Harry and Meghan, doesn’t matter where they are Duke and Duchess of, my friend Sting once told me . . .”). Only I don’t know any famous people, so it all comes across as Midwestern sadness (“As I was saying to my friend…

I don’t think Mitchell ever would have pledged to live on a farm and if he did I don’t think that Cam would have believed him for an instant.  That’s just not their marriage.

They really have come into some money over the past decades. One of the less noted problems with later seasons is that almost no attention is given to the idea of The Simpsons as having any money problems at all. At least “Homer’s Enemy” acknowledged that the Simpson’s standard of living is crazy palatial compared to…

You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.  It aired December 17, 1989. 

Meanwhile, you can have the streaming rights to Joey by politely asking for them. 

Hey, no shame here. Corrigan is a terrific reviewer and it's a fascinating book.

The Cruella stuff was nuts even for that show but I always thought Smurfit had a certain style in the part.

Does she use antlers in all of her decorating? Well, come to think of it, she might. Off to find Gaston and Cruella erotic fanfic, which I am absolutely certain exists without ever having thought about it before.

Truer words were never said.

No, this is the Medium Place. Now let's watch Cannonball Run 2. 

Wait, did he just compare his marriage to Sonny and Cher? He does realize how that ended, right? I feel like the show probably covers it.

Still not as long as any indie artist covering "Happy Xmas (War is Over)."

Happy that Teen Titans Go! to the Movies got a writing nomination.  Such a clever movie.  The sequence where they undo and then instantly redo the origin stories of the DC pantheon made me laugh harder than anything else this year.
