I’m a little surprised Exploding Kittens got a series deal before Munchkin.

I feel like Lynch doesn’t have a phone. He insists all communiques be delivered via a dead drop under the ash tray on the counter of an abandoned truck stop diner 28 miles north of Elko, Nevada, written on the fly leaves of Gideon bibles taken from odd-numbered rooms of Best Westerns.

He’ll actually be debuting a series of NFTs inspired by a particularly memorable hind leg of a terrier that he saw once in 1968. 

Biotech firm? BETTER OFF TED 2 LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

“NO SON OF MINE IS GOING OUT IN AN ORANGE VELVET TRUCKER JACKET!!!”

Fun facts for you:

But can it play Conlon Nancarrow?

I think it’s actually closer in tone/characters to Trial & Error which more people should watch if, ya know, it was streaming on fucking anything anywhere. Seriously why the fuck isn’t that show on Peacock by now, it drives me nuts.

Seriously, Christ Pratt and Sam Elliott just need to keep their faces shut and let me imagine they are actually Andy and Progressive Ron!

Joan Didion’s attachment to the Donner Party

Dennis Moore wanted for questioning.

instead we get to watch it run out of gas in real time. the whole massive contract renewal feels like your dad caught you smoking rick and morty and is now making you smoke a carton to learn your lesson.

in the olden days this show would have been canceled after 3 seasons and we’d get a think-piece every 14 months about how sad that is.

I’ve been following Zack’s reviews for over a decade, and if he of all people doesn’t “fundamentally get” Rick and Morty, then the show is fundamentally ungettable. 

The nice thing is all the movies in the SCU sorta stand on their own. Sure Irishman may reference Italianman or Polishman at times but they are only passing references and don’t get in the way of his story.

I’m screen-grabbing each frame and watching it as a 300,000 photo slide show.

After Blade, but before Mystery Men. 

Sure, but when I approached De Niro to talk about the inaccuracies in Rocky and Bullwinkle, he just yelled at me!
