i recently watch Back to School (with gratuitous boobies) for the first time, and there was a lot of Rodney Dangerfield hitting on coeds that made me a little uncomfortable. but i think the overall premise could still work today as a good Boomers meet Zoomers comedy. 

the word “samurai” can also be plural

this is good conversation. 

dumb question about Narcos from someone who’s never seen it, but knows it had something to do Pablo Escobar (Colombia).

Nice. i was looking for a new show start. someone recommended the Ozarks as they said “it’s not over yet, but might end up being better than Breaking Bad” and i was skeptical but intrigued. didn’t even make this list though.

is it insensitive to call someone a POS when you’ve never met them nor interacted with them personally?

I remember around the late 2000s, when Mortal Kombat was in kind of a decline in popularity, Scorpion had a brief stint as a mildly successful porn director, with his trademark catchphrases “get over here”, and “come here”

I’m also speaking about how certain subjects become nothing but a laughing matter to many people who maybe aren’t the brightest who watch the shit out of that show.

But who is being treated poorly here?

A: hey, you’re kicking me, that hurts.

i haven’t seen the movie yet so i can’t give examples myself, but the first review in this article called it “a Japanese stereotype extravaganza as thought up by a foreigner”. however the main criticism seems to be not just “there’s stereotypes” but rather “it’s the same outdated stereotypes from 20 years ago”. a lot…

on a side note, interesting point about the impact of stereotypes on a group of people that exist in the world today versus a group of people who don’t. for example, if media taught me that all Victorian English people were assholes, and i knew no better, perhaps there is minimal negative impact to the world since…
