No better way for me to lose my enthusiasm for a new Melissa McCarthy movie than finding out that her husband wrote/directed it. God bless them, they seem like they’re very happy, but he is killing any momentum she once had with these god-awful movies. 

Adding Sax Solos to Songs That Don’t Need Them: The Clarence Clemons Story.

The whole discussion between Orly and Neil about him posing with his wife’s urn in his dating profile pic was my favorite part of the episode. 

Ah, Quillette, every divorced dad’s favorite website. 

Fair enough; of course, none of that is mentioned in the TV series at all. Trashcan Man drives the nuke into the casino, and magic force lightning strikes it because reasons. 

Boy, that Stephen King sure can write an ending. 

So this was basically the Raiders of the Lost Ark ending, where the bad guys managed to off themselves completely on their own and the good guys coulda just hunkered down in Colorado and waited for it all to blow over, right?

Yeah, and American Gods also used Orlando Jones, which seems to be causing its own set of issues as well. 

Also it was something of an IOU - he was supposed to host last March before everything...you know. 

Making Harold Lauder the de facto main character has been the most baffling decision in a series of dozens of baffling decisions the creators of this mini-series have made. He’s had the most screen time out of pretty much the entire cast, if I’m not mistaken.

Hopefully this attention gets them to do an HD upgrade of the original two movies (MOVIE and CAPER) - my kids are obsessed and the Disney + versions look like slightly upscaled Widescreen VHS. 

The homecoming episode was the funniest sitcom episode I saw this year. The Tori reference made me laugh out loud.

A lot of movie clips. Every time Gonzo opened the closet there would be a random film clip, including Star Wars and Raiders. That’s why the King of Cartoons stuck to public domain cartoons whenever he visited Pee-Wee. He knew the game. 

The credits show “Based on Characters Created by Eddie Murphy”, so I’m sure Buchwald’s estate is watching closely. 

He was great in his “What we do in the Shadows” cameo as well. 

My guess; the son turns out to be a total asshole or not really Eddie’s kid (his mom is played by Leslie Jones, so...yeah) and he ends up naming his daughter heir to the throne.

It just seemed like a lot of the cast wasn’t available for S7 so it was thrown together on the one set (I can only handle so much MacMurray - something Mrs MacMurray would never say).

Hoping for a comeback this season because the last two seasons have been DIRE. Crack’n Ag in season 7, and the hockey tournament which took up the first 2 (3?) episodes of the most recent season were comedy death. The group showing up to beat up Dierks on the finale was entertaining, but that’s about it.

The last season of this one sucked too, but I’d be down for a BIG LOVE reboot/update about the three sister wives getting shit done. 

With this and DEXTER planning reboots, can HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER be far behind? We really need a trifecta of the worst final seasons from 2013-4 to save us from this hellscape.
