Are you saying having a crush on Winona Ryder makes someone less cool?

I’ll be fine with this as long as his spiel ends with, “But don’t take it from me; here’s my friend Mr Clarke, to explain the physics of car collisions.”

Oh hey, AV Club still does real articles sometimes. Good thing I got on the site during the ten minute window where this was findable.

Landis was directly responsible for three deaths, including a pair of children who were working outside the legal regulations set for child actors, and yet he’s the guy we’re going to give controversy-free coverage to?

Could he at least provide his Top 5 On-Set Deaths?

I’ll be honest, knowing about his real life divorce definitely casts a shadow on his actions. Now, to be clear: I completely believe that everything he does in the show is basically acting and, you know, there isn’t really a part of him hiring out an escort on the show’s budget for companionship. For all we know he…

Part of the appeal was Nathan looking at the camera, waiting for everyone to hear him say “Turn the cameras off,” and then he doesn’t. That was some masterful ambiguity, toying expertly with viewer expectation. A great moment.

The interactions between Nathan and Macy and really Nathan’s demeanor in this episode in general made me think about how much of the Nathan “character” is really him. I’m sure he exaggerates a lot of his social awkwardness for the sake of comedy (the dance in the hotel room was probably for the show) but he really…

Very real. Her webpage is not difficult to find with a Google search. I was convinced she was an actress (as I was on an episode of Kenny vs. Spenny) but seems to be one of the most self-aware and show-aware people to ever appear on the show. The “you’re filming; that’s kind of the point” line is literally her telling…

Bill’s Durst-like demeanor MUST have influenced the show’s decision to make this episode.

The scene where Nathan shows Maci Nathan For You was such a hilarious, meta moment, and I got a kick out of her reaction to the show. “You’re pretty funny, but kinda mean! You just lie to all these people!”

Yeah there was a surprising amount of depth in that relationship that seemed to almost go beyond the client/tv show thing

Man, his Robert Durst burp right before Bill made his phone call was both chilling and understandable, but the last two minutes of the episode is what really got me. When Maci(?) asked about turning off the cameras and said “You’re filming something, that’s the reason, right?” I found myself telling Nathan out loud to…

Eleven just completely dismissing Max was perfection. My friend who’s a middle-school teacher said in reality Eleven would have choked Max out.

Oh, says you.

It’s not just about chosen family, it’s about what family means to Eleven and Kali. Kali is clearly motivated by anger, and she uses other people to satisfy her sense of injustice. But Kali clearly connected with Eleven in a way she didn’t with the rest of her unremarkable gang. She felt a loss motivated by some kind…
