Maybe she thinks charities are monarchies?

I kind of wish there was a bit more time with the “mature” version of 13-year old Jenny, that might have more perspective on how she remembered it as a more consensual affair. I get why there’s more focus on how it really was, but I think at least one scene of her initial memories of how she interacted with Bill,…

That the rape scenes would be too ‘controversial’ for a theatrical distributor, and/or would get an NC-17 rating.

He is a predatory creep.

Kim Kardashian-West wanting to dissolve a charity because one of the guys that runs it insulted her husband is pretty fucked up.

I see what you’re saying, but you don’t need to parody 60's/70's cartoons to parody casual racism or sexism or other such things. I’ve been thinking about how nostalgia changes, and certain times and concepts lose cultural cachet and The Venture Bros is tied to a specific era—60's children’s cartoons—that, for the…

You wouldn’t see Stephen Hawking doing much these days...

Tony Stark in real life would be a war criminal.

Of all the problems with journalism, I don’t anybody would seriously argue that internet trolls and billionaires have too little influence.

The show feels a bit “of it’s time” to the mid-late 00's, and is struggling to stay with the times in a way. The tropes is deconstructing—Johnny Quest, kids adventurers, super-science, etc—are less and less relevant, even as targets of parody. The show has evolved a lot, but it still feels largely a product of a time…

Yeah, most of the cast has been on the back-burner this season. It looks like Ptomely and Melanie have something to do now.

Get you a girl that will parachute out of a jet into the middle of a psychic wasteland desert to yell at you.

Everything about it felt like a cheat—rushing over the death of a recurring character, and the actual resolution of the divorce arc was literally a montage. The stuff with the therapist papers over it a bit, but it feels like they wrote themselves into a corner and couldn’t figure a way out.

I think it’s hilarious you’re trying to insult me by saying I suck as much as you.

That’s a terrible idea. We’d have teenage Bart by season 5. I can’t fault them for not thinking 30 seasons ahead when they started, I’m just saying that the flashback episodes are a missed opportunity to use the show’s age to its advantage to do something unique. Or, hell, just a “I can’t imagine you in 1996" *cut to…

Her next album should be “I’m Evil Now.” Every song would be about how billionaires are our natural superiors. Maybe a rap breakdown where she challenges Bernie Sanders to a duel?

Grimes is a reasonably successful musician, who writes and produces all her songs. She should have too much money to put up with this bullshit.

The series has always used comic-book time, so the timeline shifting so Bart was born in the late 00's is inevitable. There is something post-modern about doing “young 90's Simpsons characters” when the characters existed as they are in the 90's. Honestly, the show could go to some weird places if they want to keep…

Can we also talk about the DJ Kahled performance where he was watching Wall Street II: Money Never Sleeps? Like, it’d be weird enough if was watching the original Wall Street, but the forgotten sequel with Shia Labeouf takes it to different level.

re: Shadow King killing Amy—either he genuinely mistook David’s feelings for her, based on dark thoughts David had when Shadow King was in his mind, or he’s deliberately trying to goad David into becoming the villain that Future-Syd is trying to stop as part of some long con. In his conversation with Future-Syd, he…
