thank you, another letterkenny fan. that’s IMMEDIATELY what came to mind. like, i know that culture is a thing but the similarities were amazing. including the guy wearing the gas mask, right?

All I wonder is when your manifesto will be published online.

I have no comment on the rest of her work, but man, she was fantastic in True Grit.

Disney: “Oh, Sony... you made a good movie there with that Spider-Verse thing.”

Oof. This is embarrassing.

“Why isn’t this review like the other reviews on this site, which I think are all bad? Isn’t that a double standard?”

I think maybe “I was sick on bourbon / 80-year-old Scotch” would maybe fly. Maybe. There wouldn’t be a bottle of rioja in that house unless they were hosting Spanish diplomats - Connor and Maxim (his new alt-buddy-doppelganger) were drinking port, but I can’t imagine a bottle of port in that house would have enough…

Have you read a film review that isn’t Dowd or Ignatiy? They’re less film criticism than they are Problematic Audits.

I say with all sincerity, what in living hell are you on about?

Oh, I don’t know that anyone is bagging on Shiv for making the mistake (at least I’m not!). It’s hard to watch Logan get one over on his kids every time, and I get really sad when he wins over one of them. So, in my opinion, Shiv just showed some very real human behavior and I would have done the same as her (I mean,…

Yeah, all the Roys are awful people, just in their own ways. It was easier to see Shiv as separate from, and “better than” her brothers, but expecting anyone in that family to be good is a stretch. Even Greg the Egg showed he has a lot of self-interest, cunning and ruthlessness when he needs it.

Still, just like with…

I can see how the critic feels the Marcia tension seems undercooked for that same reason... even though it’s been clear from the beginning that Marcia has her own agenda as well, she’s been quite steely, and so to see her be openly hostile toward him seems to come out of nowhere. Even though, like Codename_SailorV…

This is absolutely spot on. I love Shiv but I’m genuinely baffled by certain fans of this show who insist she’s somehow “better” than her family when the reason Shiv is interesting is because she THINKS she’s better when in reality she’s clearly cut from the same cloth.

i mean, you don’t cast Toby Huss and leave him on the bench like that. pretty sure we haven’t seen the last of him and his fam. (i also suspect there’s gonna be some weiiiiird teen romance weirdness with his daughter and Kelvin real soon.)

There in raises the conundrum.

Good points. Why not just expand the franchise? Win/win.

I’m very much in the ‘this is one of the best episodes of, at the least, Succession’ camp, but the one minor complaint is that I thought Marcia’s bristling at Logan was too sudden, and probably the result of her having been kinda forgotten for most of the season. I think her game is that that she has her own plans…

Very spot on. Shiv is a great character in how hypocritically entitled she is. She likes to think of herself as morally and conceptually superior to her family while being just like them. A lot of people talk about her “promising political career” here but it wasn’t that all, it was her moonlighting progressivism to…

I know I’m overthinking this, and I try to treat the show like the comedy it is, but why do they take Roman anywhere important? He seems completely incapable of functioning socially.

Kieran Culkin is so freaking brilliant in this show. “Chivalry is not, you know, blalachll.”
