That movie scared all Euphrates cats. But, I Tigris.

Parker Posey’s presence persistently promises perfectly pleasant programming.

I did community theater on a regular basis as a kid. I was doing a production of A Thousand Clowns as a dinner theater production for a moderately upscale local hotel (also the only time I got any money for acting). Anyway, show has like five parts and there are no understudies. I get the flu the night before dress…

Thankfully, I was already subscribed to the U2 podcast and I didn’t have to subscribe to a new one to get this. I guess you could say it came Automatic for the Peepholes. By peepholes I mean ears. Because peeps are noises you hear. And, ears are holes in which you hear noises.

Automatic for the Peepholes.

When me and my dudes get together, we love getting into real discussions about important issues. We ply ourselves in alcohol to loosen our tongues and than cover ourselves in the scented oils of the Socratic Method. Than, we take turns skewering each other with long, turgid arguments until we reach the ultimate…

“The Judge None Choose One brand—once the height of fashion, when it was adopted by skaters, graffiti artists, and, five years later, desperate-to-be-hip kids in Indiana middle schools”

Checks my middle and high school yearbooks...
Checks timeline...
Checks map to make sure I’m from Indiana

Yeah. This checks out.

I liked the update of Dickens starring Marcel Marceau. It starts with the line: “It was the best of mimes; it was the worst of mimes.”

LIMITLESS?!?!?!

You want that pill!!!

If she’s more Drew than Drew Barrymore, does that mean she’s Drew Barrymost?

Bishops usually perform the Sacrament of Confirmation for young adults who were baptized as infants and have received the Sacraments of Communion and Reconciliation. A Bishop will do this every few years in each Church in his Dioceses. In mine, it was every three years for each Church. Typically, this will include all…

I feel bad that Jeffrey Characterwheaties has been typecast as a Jason Mantzoukas type for this long.

Funny. Someone named Tommy is Deaf to the needs of anyone who’s not white/cis-hetero/Christian, Blind to the suffering of the poor, and also really Dumb. Do you think she’s a real Pinball Wizard, too?

Preppy #MAGA enthusiasts going after primarily people of color with the tacit endorsement of the American government?!?!? How crazy! What do they think this is, Charlottesville?

Crank 3: Baby Bossed - Chev has to watch Baby Boss every 5 hours or he dies.

Crank 3: Tides of Change - Chev has to do the Tide Pod challenge every hour to stay alive.

Crank 3: The Gift of the MAGA - The cure to a poison given to Chev Chelios is inside Donald Trump’s butt and it’s a sexually transmitted cure. He has to…

To play Mr. Rogers’ sweaters? I mean, all of those guys are known to transform themselves for roles, but that’s going to be tough. 

Yeah, I was surprised at how great season 1 was and delighted to find season 2 even better. Sharply written and acted and often very funny, it can also be extraordinarily moving. It wasn’t just the finale that I teared up at but several times throughout the season and those tears felt earned and not cheap. Kudos to…

I’ve always had a fondness for the nonsensical Doctor sketch with Ferrell, Molly Shannon, Parnell, Tim Meadows and, I believe, Rachel Dratch. It’s just so full of weirdness and non-sequiturs. “Your son’s a witch!” “Are you Blowfish and Funk Framingham?” Molly Shannon and Ferrell both break super hard in that sketch,…

My parents were wildly permissive about pop culture. My 10th birthday slumber party had a Freddy movie marathon, we would regularly see R rated movies as a family, no books or music were off limits, etc.

Which, made it really weird when my mom told me I couldn’t watch A Fish Called Wanda which had just been released…

How would a show whose first season included a drug dealing Ginger wigged maple syrup cult actually jump the shark.? They’re all robots? It’s secretly a holodeck sim Riker is running?

My favorite day of the 12 Days of Oscars: Day 0, when the nominations are announced. My second favorite day is Day -8 when the EW issue with the Snubs and Flubs comes out!
