Speaking of Jody Hill, I was just thinking about Observe and Report recently. That was a really underrated movie. I think it was hurt a lot by both Rogen being so prominent for his stoner comedies at the time and its proximity to Paul Blart, because nobody really seemed to appreciate it as the dark, gleefully twisted…

If you feel he plays roles a bit "big, maybe a bit too cartoony, and that's what it is, I'd recommend looking to his work in The Shield instead. As great as he is in Justified, Boyd Crowder is a role that heavily relies on his charming accent and charisma which clearly doesn't connect with you. Shane Vendrell is a…

Yeah, as much attention as he (rightfully) gets for Justified, his work in The Shield, especially season four and onward, was all-time great material. It's bananas that he never even got nominated for an award for that role.

6 > 3 > 2 > 4 > 5 > 1

The Voice has been on for ten seasons!? I'm not a fan of "oh man I'm old" type jokes, but that is alarming to me. It does not feel like it's been that long at all.

His final match with Regal (it was the last episode of FCW before the NXT rebranding, I believe) and his 30 minute Iron Man with Seth Rollins are the two easiest to point to. There's a reason the guy was one of the most heavily anticipated developmental call-ups ever, before hype surrounding call-ups was even a thing.

Tyler Breeze, Neville, and arguably Cesaro don't need managers. Rusev either, really, unless he's a heel (which he is, so touche). But Neville and Breeze are both good enough on the stick that they're better off without managers who make it look like they can't talk.

He's a wonderful in-ring performer. He had a bunch of great work pre-WWE, and more with Rollins and Regal (and others I'm sure) in FCW. A few months back in the WWE title tournament, he had a quarter-final against Dolph Ziggler in which the two went with a mat-wrestling, psychology-based match which was really fucking…

As a Mariners fan who doesn't watch football that recently moved to Seattle, this has been a bittersweet revelation. While I get to be in my city's hometown and go see games now, I was blissfully unaware of just how much more popular a home team the Seahawks were. While being in the offseason surely doesn't help, I've…

Between WWE continuing to pay him his enormous downside for the remainder of his contract, the money he's already made from his salary, his merch sales, book royalties, and the money Brie makes both as a wrestler and more importantly Total Divas star, I imagine he's set to continue his modest lifestyle well into the…

To be fair, they really didn't fuck up Chris Hero. He was one of the original hot acts on NXT and was being groomed as a major star, but got released over a perceived work ethic issue. And even then, Hero says it was amicable and that Triple H told him they might have him back in the future, though his weight gain…

I love it. Breaking shit is fun, especially when paired with aggressive music. My favorite is those old Nine Inch Nails shows circa-1994 where Trent Reznor's dropkicking and bodyslamming high-end synthesizers and throwing guitars at Robin Finck's head.

Right? I remember at the end of the year everyone was talking about GOTG and I was really disappointed that Days of Future Past didn't get more attention.

Lots don't know how to advertise male or couple-led comedy either, really. I remember how awful You're the Worst's early ads were, not to mention shows I already watched before I saw the ads like Archer, Community, and I know there's a lot more I'm blanking on. The marketing on TV comedies is just so incredibly lazy.

Wait, this is actually good? The ads I've been seeing on Hulu as I binge through Review are eye-gougingly awful bad horrible. Granted, lots of great TV comedies have really bad ads, but I felt really strongly about this one. I guess now I'm going to have to swallow that first impression and give it a shot.

No, that was actually pretty funny. Much funnier than Melissa McCarthy, to be fair.

So I'm not going to go into the long, typed out process explaining all the booking and story justifications for these, but I think I came up with a pretty good fantasy-booked card that's less fantasy and more super-idealistic but sorta plausible story progression and card to Make Wrestlemania Great Again™:

I found the pilot mostly okay, but then the dinner scene was, in my opinion, one of the best scenes of the year and persuaded me to stay on board (though I was already inclined to, because Shawn Ryan). I watched the second episode last night and it was more entertaining throughout, and seemed to really be picking up…

I can't say I agree with you there. I thought Season 4 of Louie was the best, most ambitious to date, and was under the impression that the overlooked nature of S5 had to do with it both being both very short and a bit of a step down/in a different direction.

In lieu of mentioning one of the obvious picks who missed the list, I'd like to shout out to Michael Rappaport for his outstanding work in his guest spot on this year's woefully overlooked season of Louie.
