Wiig I must defer to the wisdom of the crowd on. I've never found her amusing, but so many people who I respect the opinion of say she's amazing that I figure there has to be something of value there.

Apparently on that particular take Stiller repeated an earlier line instead of saying the correct one, and Duchovny ad-libbed the response spectacularly.

This was a while ago, but on Rob McElhenney's episode of WTF he basically said that the show ran long enough that they were fortunate to be able to start hiring writers who'd watched the show since high school, so they have new guys with new ideas that still understand the voice of the show. Maybe now as they're 11…

I wonder if their leaving contributed to his retirement. After years on the show, suddenly Oliver, Jones, Bee, Mandvi, and Madrigal were gone (or had other projects taking most of their time) within a couple years and Jon was left without an heir apparent or really even any veteran cast members who could fill in if he…

I wish they'd ease off the gas on that for a while though. These glimpses into the depths of his psychosis are better in small doses, and they're doing it heavy handedly every episode now.

See, I'll buy "the force called Rey to the lightsaber" because it was shown in the film when she was close to it that it called to her. I won't buy "the force called Han Solo to bring Rey to the lightsaber" because he's not a force user and the movie didn't show it, and the given reason was that he wanted to find…

I liked the force calling to her, but I really didn't like the rather large coincidence that the lady happened to have Luke's saber in the basement of her bar. I would've liked the location to be somewhere where you'd expect a lightsaber, rather than just a place Han goes to get them a clean ship that the Order isn't…

I was really, really hoping she'd start spontaneously shooting some lightning at Kylo at that point, as her hate and rage overcomes her. It would be a hell of a thing to set up her training for the sequel, after Luke already lost one student to the dark side.

I'm sure if he held up his hand in the universal "stop" signal, that would count as a command they have to obey, be they deaf or foreign. And she can't just let Simpson use a sniper rifle from far away because she wants to save Hope, she needs him alive to prove Hope's innocence. Not sure why rogue Simpson went with…

Bioware selfish.

Until he came back wearing blackface to try and provoke some kind of response, there was literally zero racial component at all. And then even after, it was mainly about how doing blackface directly in front of a black man makes it even more of a fucked up stupid idea.

Jost has done nothing except a bad Seth Meyers impression since he got that job, and Seth Meyers still exists on TV so I'm not sure why they keep letting him do that.

Kenan's impressions aren't particularly good, but he's still funny, and I think that's more important than accurate on SNL.

Do the recommendations actually get funny? I find myself skipping to the next podcast either during the letters song or at recommendations every week these days.

Rumor has it that Milton Bradley paid good money to get Mouse Trap product placement in Spectre, as Daniel Craig and Christoph Waltz play a game in its entirety at the 40 minute mark.

I'm suggesting that they didn't even watch this first episode at the time of airing, or at the time they were sent review copies. They surely don't watch everything that's sent to them, there just isn't enough time, so they have to pick and choose somehow. This stupidly named USA hacker show with the l33tsp34k…

Probably nobody expected this random show on USA to be as great as it is. It took a couple episodes of social media hype to clue in the AV club's editors.

There's always random clips of Andy's unfunny stand-up, to clog your podcast subscription feed.

He was the first cast member to be younger than the show itself, and he will be the oldest cast member in its history by the time he's done.

"It's clearly a bicep. How do you not see that?"
