She played Eleanor Roosevelt on Another Period and that's good enough for me.

Like everybody else here, I had no clue about this and I retroactively wish her the best. I've missed Jessica's presence in the Earwolfverse a lot. I wondered why she didn't appear when her husband debuted excerpts from his play on last week's improv4humans. His two appearances there have proven him to be an expert at…

Between that and Anthony Michael Haul, Sam was a lowkey all-star this week.

I hope easier Chad access means they'll be able to put together a full reunion of the first episode some time soon. That was a dream lineup right out of the gate.

I did enjoy everyone pressing Kroll into giving an intervention speech for John Lennon, and Kroll eventually just giving up and admitting he had no idea how to respond to that.

I'd agree with that for sure. I've definitely seen it pitched as a typical '80s horny teen flick, but that just makes sense from a marketing perspective.

Big ups to Matt Besser on the past few improv4humans episodes. I'm always invigorated by Besser's insistence on experimentation. The first Dan O'Brien episode was a high point of the series despite being the riskiest thing they'd tried to date, and this recent one may have been even gutsier. An autobiographical play…

The name makes me wince every time, but I agree. Her insistent badgering of Chief was especially delightful.

Last week's Spont just confirmed that I really need to get around to Orphan Black. As enamored as I am of Tatiana Maslany based entirely on her Earwolf appearances, I probably owe it to myself to check out her day job. I also really want to check out Greg's Mini Golf. That place sounds amazing.

I've never hated the character, but Ming becoming suddenly aggressive just as victory in the hands-on-a-hardbody competition was in his sight is the first time I've genuinely loved him.

Baltz and Kroll's last-minute cuck-off was close to the high point of the episode for me.

I did not know what ASMR videos were going into this week's Hollywood Handbook. Now, thanks to Intern Andy's insatiable horniness, I kind of do?

The 1980s teen dramedy is possibly my least favorite genre of film, but I adore Heaven Help Us. It's so many cuts above all the usual Hughesian bullshit - genuinely affecting, true to life, and occasionally just plain weird as hell. Larry "Bud" Melman's cameo as a deranged lift bridge operator is both hilarious and…

Through the fence, between the curling flower spaces, I could see them grabbing. They were coming toward where the pussy was and I went along the fence. Jared was hunting in the grass by the flower tree. They took the pussy out, and they were grabbing. Then they put the pussy back and they went to the KFC, and he…

Meanwhile Chicago-Lake Liquors in Minneapolis had Jesse "The Body" Ventura and Mad Dog Vachon in their TV spots. Truly the golden age of Minnesota liquor store advertising.

It's pretty great. I managed to score second row center seats and downed a few beers before the show, so I was in primo laughing mode. Even if the content hadn't been hilarious, Comedy Bang Bang looms so large in my entertainment orbit that just watching Scott, Paul and Lauren interact up close would have been…

I'm generally apathetic toward Ming, but I loved his part in this episode, especially at the end when he got inexplicably aggressive and refused to let Scott wrap things up as he was so obviously trying to do.

That was Minneapolis. I was at that one and I can tell you at least one topic on which you're the polar opposite of my wife.

Huh, I had to look up that Adam Ruins Everything ep to confirm it, but yep, that's the same Bud Hammes who's the dad of the best runner on my high school cross country team. The team camped out at his lake house one time and he had to come scold us after we sneaked out to cavort with some girls from a neighboring…

Awesome. Things like this are honestly one of my driving forces in this life.
