Dave Anthony, who used to be friends with him back in the day, has talked about it on one of his podcasts. Basically, severe alcoholism happened to Jay Johnston.

I watched this last night and it’s the best episode of Tales from the Crypt I’ve ever seen.

This movie should have been called Ballplay.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this movie should have been called Ballplay.

1) Tbh I think the show ended pretty conclusively. I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing what they had in mind for the final season, but the ending we got was one I found pretty satisfying.

There is no meaningfully powerful political left in this country, at least on a national policy level. Our major parties are a center-right party and a far-right party, by any reasonable metric, since they are both capitalist, the economic ideology of the right. So it’s not even facile; it’s basically a category…

This is the correct take.

You had me at “dressing in overtly sexual ways”

Weird thing to call your dad but okay.

As a neurotic Jew myself, I felt extremely seen by Beau Is Afraid. Not every movie needs to be for everyone.

They probably won’t let this out of the greys, but this is where they have to get militant. Firebomb a few executive’s houses. Show up at one of their resorts in balaclava with Uzis and kill everyone. If they don’t start stacking bodies, the problem will recur again and again. As usual, in the fight against capital,…

What an insane call to title this movie Challengers, when it so obviously should be called Ballplay.

Tbh, incredibly frustrated that he pulled back on this. The unions should be marching on the houses of these executives, armed, and burned them down with the executives. Don’t fuck with labor, motherfuckers -- we outnumber you and we will absolutely kill every last one of you, and your families. *That* needs to the…

The best Washington movie is Class of 1999 and it’s not even close.

Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!

As usual, Jerry Holkins gets it right:

“I don’t have a problem with Bo-Katan Kryze. She was a rad addition in Season 2 of the Mandalorian, and after a bumpy start in Season 3 I feel like she’s earned a spot. But Disney has a very difficult time getting out of its way - this is just as true in their Marvel excursions as…

The idea that Melanie Lynskey is anything other than crazy attractive is genuinely confusing to me.

The irony of Kamala Harris loving this show when she herself is very nearly that character in real life is profound.

A friend and I tried to watch it a couple nights ago and we made it about 45 minutes before we tapped out and watched the Last of Us pilot instead. If your idea of horror is static shots of the corners of rooms and lighting changes, you’re about to get a buffet. Otherwise, unless you’re extremely patient, you’re going…

JO-NAD! JO-NAD! JO-NAD!
