The only movie I’ve ever been to where the audience is a value-add is the Howard Stern movie because some dude kept giving me and my friends beers. Other than that the audience always detracts from the experience, in my opinion.  My 55" 4k screen is at the right distance, so it’s basically as big as a movie screen. …

Got that right. This show is getting tiring

Hi ProgNeg, I believe you’re wrong about this in this instance.

Isn’t he in the main cast listing now?

But Micheal Mando has been on the opening credits for the last two weeks as well, so I just assume it's for the whole main cast whether they're in the ep or not? So I wouldn't be too worried about those! 

These complaints feel like they’re conflating being a gross dude with being a “predator,” unless someone is leaving out pretty major stuff.

I think what audiences want from comedy now is for traditional sources of topical comedy to make a statement, have a point of view. Then we can hash it out — in our living rooms, here, on social media. The supposed desire to “reinforce the appropriate political message” I don’t buy—just make a point, make it funny,…

Please don’t. I still have PTSD from watching that series.

I’m Gen X. We don’t so much give a fuck about folks who quibble over semantics.

I’ve seen very little of Louie. (he never asked me to watch.)

for a minute there, I thought Wiley would turn out to be a ghost

I generally don’t think it’s bad to be skeptical, and I am not going to throw “The Americans” or some of his DS9 episodes or other stuff he’s been in out of my collections.

We have seen this movie so many times before and it’s always stupid. Here we go again. Any sniff of “offensive” and the studios tighten up because of potential liability. Fun times. 

how is that obvious? the vast majority of sexual harassment goes unreported and unpunished. Occam’s Razor in this instance suggests that this is part of a pattern that finally pushed someone to seek official recourse, and the results of the ensuing investigation provided ample reason to move forward.

But it’s so bloody obvious that the question would’ve been more if the show ended and we didn’t see them given it’s meant to tie into the original show.

I felt the same way about Hank and Gomez’s return in season 5. The sense of surprise would have been nice, but I guess they need the publicity as well announcing it in advance.

There was certainly a bit of a jolt through the room at the cinema where I watched El Camino, when Walt turned up.  I think it took some people a surprisingly long time to realise it was a flash back.

I’d recommend they watch Veronica Mars or Bugsy Malone, for variations of the premise that don’t consist of the director jerking himself off to his own cleverness.

He didn’t rant about it.  He’d mention it once or twice during every review, which was annoying, but he spent time with each sketch and you felt like he had actually watched the show.

Well I guess I’m going to have to point out what Michael is too kind to say: that Oscars sketch sucked. Chris Redd’s impression probably hindered it from the get-go (probably should’ve dragged Jay Pharoah back to do it), but from beginning-to-end, that sketch suuuuuucked.
