Well, Kang would say their commitment to training was already evident by the very credible wrestling scenes, which seem to be accomplished with a minimum of editing tricks and no detectable stand-ins.

Gotta love the way Gilpin leans into Liberty Belle’s ‘GET A JOB’ taunt, with that fucking ‘sweep the floor’ gesture. Gilpin isn’t afraid to really let you hate the fuck out of her in that moment. Your heart breaks for Tammé and Debbie, who is usually so likable even when she’s being unlikable, is just a complete…

In two short seasons, Betty Gilpin has ascended to National Treasure status. She’s so good that it nearly unbalances the show (despite having a powerhouse like Brie to work with).

Precisely. One of the tonal wonders of GLOW is how deftly it walks the line between mimicking a fist-pumping 1980’s sports comedy while rounding those tropes out with more nuanced, contemporary (feminist)sensibilities. As someone born in ’76, this show FEELS like the ’80’s more than any other period piece that’s…

Yeah, this definitely belongs on the GLOW/Maron highlight reel. Oof.

They’ll never be main characters (which is fine) but Kang does wish this season featured more of their delightfully hammy antics.  

OK, we’re gonna talk about that scene.

‘Jesus Christ’.

Yep, Kang was skeptical about the positive season review— After ‘Defenders’, I’m no longer wasting time with Marvel shows unless I see some very solid reviews. I think nüAVClub in particular sometimes puts its finger on the scale for shows that prominently address POC and feminist concerns. Look, Kang also wants…

Kang is sorry, but ‘Barry’ is really not that good.

This is NOT a good movie. But Kang still quotes Geoffrey Rush’s Casanova Frankenstein every time I mix a cocktail:

True, Kang loves Janet in the comics— and it would be so awesome to have a character who changes into a new awesome costume for every set piece. Kinda like a Lady Gaga superhero. It’s a cool way to introduce comic-ey costume design and it’s also a funny character hook.

No, what this shows is that people might just gonna VOTE now. An upset like this, during a PRIMARY in a blue state, only happens when citizens stop being fucking complacent and start hitting the polls.

Which actually points to the fundamental flaw in the show that someone pointed out elsewhere in this thread:  The show suffers because it privileges mystery and concepts over character.  Every time.

Eighty-one thousand people liked Trump’s tweet. Eighty. One. Thousand. Eighty-one thousand people approve of the President of the United States waving his tiny little pecker at a late-night TV host, about an interview that happened almost two year ago, promoting a candidacy that was SUCCESSFUL. This is how the…

The timelines aren’t necessarily that complex. But Kang started tuning out because the shifted timelines are a) needlessly complicated and b) Kang resents jumping through additional hoops for a story this half-assed and characters this thinly-drawn.

Right? The moment when Lee gets to actually deliver a badass speech he wrote for the hosts is a really neat, poignant idea. But it is sooooo not earned.

Whereas you are a masterclass in how to be invincible against being overrated.

Well, he’s spoken to at least one: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/aug/29/david-lynch-kanye-west-blood-on-the-leaves-no-ideas

The ‘persecuted Californian smoker’ is just a mild humorous dig at Lynch’s cultural dissonance with his surroundings. It’s not attributed to anything Lynch said. FFS.
