I loved that gag, but I really really wish it had ended with Erlich asking the question. The tone was beautiful and conveyed the joke immediately. Having him actually explain mansplaining seemed almost redundant. (To be fair, I recognize that if someone didn't actually know what mansplaining was, the joke would be…
I'm just now watching this, and the delivery on that line was so good. It made me pause the episode, I was laughing so hard.
Well, the Whiplash stuff is real boring to me. The whole concept of the power whips seems like a very lazy Spiderman/Daredevil villain without a fully realized gimmick. The Crimson Dynamo DNA was what was fun to me. A Rocky IV level exaggerated Russian given a super suit. He got hit by a car and walked it off.
Aw. I love Mickey Rourke in that movie. Just a low-key badass 80's style villain. He's not great, but he's fun.
Well, no. Of course Kevin Feige wouldn't think that there's a rivalry. He won damn near a decade ago.
I almost went when it came to DC. This is a nice consolation at least.
I am so excited for this. The trailer looks fantastic and TNO is one of my favorite recent(ish) games. Though it was overshadowed by DOOM a little bit, I think it's a really wonderful mix of legitimately soulful storytelling, and Rad-as-Fuck action, with some great gameplay. I wonder if they'll be able to top the…
Well, sure. It just takes a lot of time and effort to write out: "I feel like you focused too much on the theoretical underpinnings of the episode that, while half-baked, were essentially unimportant to what the episode did well: fun. We got pith-helmeted, Martini-Henry wielding soldiers having tea on Mars and…
That's fair. The grades are usually pretty unimportant if the actual reviews are well done. And I can't remember a review of yours that wasn't, whether I've agreed or not. So take me with a grain of salt, I guess.
I'm with you both. Gatiss's best in a while.
Though they're still great, I think I've disagreed more with the grades for this season than any other. I found this to be a delightful episode that reminded me more of the classic show than maybe anything since nu-who began. It certainly has its problems, but the charm really worked for me. This is the opposite…
About 34 seconds in, I heard the first RTJ3 sound (forget which song, at the moment), and I knew I was gonna dig everything afterwards.
My thoughts exactly. Although I might put this as low as Kimmy goes to a play. That was worse because of the meta elements for me, but this matched it in terms of idiot caricature.
It seems like Fey can do satire related to black people well. See: 30 Rock's plot where Toofer says says the N-word. (Also, Toofer) Or UKS's Wolfman joke. And often satire related to women. It's just other things that come off as super tone deaf.
This episode is real mixed for me,. The season is far better than the second, hasn't quite reached the highs of the first, and is overall positive. And then we get this Kimmy story, which is the lowest of the season, and probably the show so far. Every. Single. Joke. that comes out of the college student's months is…
I would like that, period. Iron Fist or no.
Good picks, although I think Space Race, pt. 1 especially, deserves a place in the list for season 3.
Don't know why, but that first ending with Archer at Woodhouse's grave got me. Something about how H. Jon Benjamin's voice broke as he said "Let's just play it by ear" almost made me cry.
A plot point in Iron Fist concerns a character that the public thinks has been dead for 12 years coming back. Multiple people encounter him, (including his daughter), and every single one of them accepts his return in a matter of moments. His old business partner is discussing chairs on the board with him within 2…
