To me, The Late Philip J Fry represents the best of the CC years while Lethal Inspection represents the worse. Inspection was just too cloying and saccharine, and a good as late Late Philip was, the best parts revolved around playing out a very specific but also very mathematical accurate idea of time-travel to its…

For me, Futurama captures the feel of pre-9/11 21st century America better than any other show. I found myself rewatching season 1 repeatedly back in 2020 just to recapture that feeling. It definitely is boring (and season 1 was probably the most inconsequential) but it feels like a warm bath.

Without DiMaggio, who’s going to voice Leo Wong!?

Bring back those amazing webisodes! 

Don’t Look Up > Dune

Imagine if McKay wrote a satire about climate change but it was about Q stopping the deep-state Jews from using lasers to blow up the Sun. At this point, that what the people who are not in the “choir” would believe. 

Imagine my gran’pappy’s surprise and confusion when he accidentally put on Yellowjackets instead of Yellowstone.

Goddamn KNOLL...

Goddamn KNOLL...

Pretty sure Rogan makes a lot more money for Spotify than Neil Young.

Nah, this absolutely ought to be an absurdist, pitch-black comedy about the total inanity of the US empire, an event that perfectly captures how this is easily the dumbest empire in history, filled with the dumbest people. But the guy who made The Comey Rule won’t be able to see it that way, way too invested in our…

SNL is the epitome of “applause over laughs” comedy.

My defense of the organic web-shooters is that Raimi, understanding that the core of the character is that he’s a working-class kid from Queens, raised by his elderly aunt, has no material access to any of the resources required to make a) stronger-than-steel, mass-produced web fluid and b) the mechanism to propel…

We all know what Bing is best for

Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 are about how you should not trust tech-bros and billionaires and not look to them as role models, while the MCU movies are about how tech-bros and billionaires are actually heroes and absolutely who you should look to for a daddy figure.

Absolutely. Homecoming is probably the least “Spider-Man” of any of the Spider-Man movies, but feels more like an Avengers side-story.

Not really. It’s not like Space Jam, which was rightly panned upon release and it was only once the generation of kids who loved it turned adults did it undergo a reevaluation. Spider-Man 2 has been consistently ranked as one of the best superhero films since its release and up to the present.

I think the MCU movies, as a trio, are right in the middle, but I think Homecoming is the weakest. I would put Homecoming at 6, No Way Home 5, and Far From Home 4; Gyllanhaal’s performance is that good. 

I agree and think that our very early 21st century concerns about identity in media actual run counter to one of the major themes of the original series; that old, terrestrial categories of nationality and ethnicity were in a process of redefinition. Off-world colonies, in part, represented opportunity to adopt new…

Agreed. The dialogue in particular, very... “Whedon-esque,” like the default Marvel style of dialogue. Don’t want to hear Spike or Faye, the anime embodiment of cool, utter lines with the same tone as “Uh, so I guess THAT happened.”

Ain't Spike Jewish?
