Being over the character but loving Phoenix is pretty much the right way to approach that movie, I think. The movie didn’t do all that much for me with its Falling Down / King of Comedy narrative, and Phoenix hits very similar acting beats to The Master and You Were Never Really Here (which should be, and is, a…

When Tate Donovan outshines you, you just know you’ve got to go and change your name and start from scratch.

I beg to differ: I found his work stilted and unconvincing in “Space Camp”

Every bit as fun as the asshats who insist on arguing the door would have supported them both

Jesus tap dancing Christ, how many times do we have to do this, it wasn’t about the area of the floating door, it’s about how much weight it could support. If Rose & Jack were on the door it would have partially submerged & Rose would have died of hypothermia before the lifeboat arrived.

Missed having the host break down in uncomfortable laughter, and didn’t lean hard enough into pointing out his agreement with whatever it is the guest just said...but I’m guessing this is not the last time we will see a Tucker Carlson impression on SNL....if only because the orange man is finally gone from politics…

The home from Malcolm in the Middle also bore a striking resemblance to the Conners’, from what I recall.

Tbh: the 99 fucking off to form up a private eye agency would work very well. The personalities are already there for an Archer-esque detective “precinct” and I think it would be great to look at characters like Amy to reconcile her ongoing dreams of an NYPD career with actual police reality, or for Holt and Peralta…

But the most recent season gave us officer Debbie, who was nothing but great funny lines.

Yeah, I wasn’t a big fan of Wuntch either.

Sort of like how everyone has jumped on Temple of Doom being racist because it shows Indian people eating monkey brains etc, except forgetting the important point that those same people are the goddam villains of the movie and nobody’s trying to say Indians in general eat eyeball soup.

That may have been one version, but I think there was also an urban legend it was an aphrodisiac. Pretty sure that’s what he’s up to in Grease (and some other movies)-- not birth control but trying to make her uncontrollably horny (ew)

Oof.  Imagine all the babies that sprang from that notion.

Uhhh... arent the dudes supposed to be scumbags? Like they are the “cool” guys but they are all pieces of shit and as mentioned its a 70's movie about pieces of shit in the 50's. Problematic guys doing problematic things does not make a movie problematic.

But it does make for a lousy mystery.

Given we have an Olsen, I'm hoping next episode goes Full House

You know, if he’d given a sincere apology and made any attempt to demonstrate that he’d learned something, maybe we could come back to him.

No, but, Covid-19 is what they named their kids.

A lot fewer episodes, for one thing. There are 90 episodes of WKRP and only 18 of F&G. I’m sure that makes a huge difference.

If Freaks can do this, why can’t WKRP?
