Oh, also: It was strange, though not exactly negative, how we had so many scenes from the point of view of a character who was just introduced and will probably never be seen again. It seems everyone was captivated by this version of Jackie, including the show itself.
Huh, I thought this was a weak episode. The way they brought in the Kennedys felt awkward and forced, particularly the impossibly neat way Jackie finds out about the queen’s mental state. In fact, it’s all too neat. I guess when you’re condensing a huge story into something entertaining you have to sweep away the…
Mostly it was because the Frys apparently knew the whole story, so that seemed to indicate he was open about it with everyone who needed to know.
I assumed Tony was a responsible polyamorist whose partners all knew about each other, but judging from Margaret’s reaction when Elizabeth hinted there might be something about him people would disapprove of, she didn’t know about it. That was an interesting scene from Elizabeth’s point of view: she knows the marriage…
I don’t usually come here but where else is there to mention this now that Podmass is on hiatus?
♪ Welcome to the jungle, Jim
Did anyone else initially think the Nazi officer in the opening sequence was Jared Harris? I thought it was quite odd that the king was wearing a swastika, but then I realized I was stupid.
This article contains an unexpected number of references to elevators.
No, there was one for The Room.
I saw The Big Sick and The Disaster Artist and now I’m thinking about how similar the two are. They’re both stories about immigrants to America who try to be successful in show business. They both skilfully and believably mix drama and comedy. Their casts are full of well-regarded comedians. They both have titles that…
I found the story of Margaret and Tony very engaging, but I don’t give a crap about Meghan Markle. Hooray for dramatization, I guess.
Omarosa Explains It All, the remake nobody wanted.
Hmm, I’m trying to post a video but it doesn’t seem to be working. Let’s try that again...
Here, have a whole video.
I haven’t seen House Of Lies, but I’m pretty sure Robin Wright wasn’t in it, because that would be weird.
The male privilege on this show is nothing compared to the white privilege, or the British privilege, or the English privilege, to narrow it down. (The royal privilege is certainly scrutinized, however.) I’m repeating my earlier comment but I wish there were more of a look into how the Crown’s colonialism ravaged…
This is in contrast to the show’s early years, when there were a bunch of coke-head writers.
Musical guest...SZA.
I’ve been listening to Song by Song, a podcast about every Tom Waits song. At first I wasn’t interested because they’re doing them in order and I don’t really care about anything before Rain Dogs (though his abrupt musical change occurred in the previous album). I just checked in, though, and I discovered they finally…
