I finally saw last year’s Detroit. It made me really angry! I didn’t even realize it was based on a true story until they started showing newspaper headlines. The opening made me expect this was going to be a series of fictionalized vignettes telling various stories about the Detroit riots, but then it focused on one…

Idris Elba as Batman, and he keeps his original accent.

They should cover all of The Beatles’ White Album, Revolution 9 included.

I like how he’s just the right amount of out-of-touch that he knows about the word “bae” but thinks it’s spelled “bay”. (Before Anyone Yeltsin?)

That’s not a typo. You must not watch this show.

I think it’s a fairly well-known thing, at least that particular line. There was a band called 20 GOTO 10.

This remains the best Ron Swanson commercial:

I’m surprised there’s controversy about Diane being voiced by a white actress. I didn’t think of this as the same issue as Apu, whose voice is stereotypical. Diane just has a standard American accent, so it seems to me that anyone who can speak with that accent would do the character justice. (Of course, her father’s…

What is Delta Burke doing to Meshach Taylor’s head? Some sort of magic? He looks like he’s about to die of bliss.

Damn, I was going to say something critical of him on there but then I didn’t feel like it. I could have been the target of his toxic genius!

Damn, I watched so much of this when I was an insomniac high schooler. It took me way too long to figure out that Actual Items were not actually actual items.

It’s interesting, Simon’s shows stand out for not being bold and flashy and in-your-face, but his tweets stand (stood) out for the opposite reason.

Hell On Wheels improved somewhat.

I’ll take “Weakest Jeopardy-related jokes” for $67.52, Alex Trebek.

Marc Evan Jackson played a guy who went to Mike and Stacey’s support group. Mike figured out the guy was making up his story about his dead wife and berated him in front of everyone. This was in episode 4.

This episode had a lot to do with explaining people’s motivations: Gus is keeping Hector alive to torture him; Kim is doing pro bono work because she wants to feel good about what she does; Mike blew up at the grief tourist because of the idea that Stacey might forget about Matty. I already knew all this, but that’s…

I’m repeating stuff I said in another comment section, but oh well: I listened to the first episode of “Obscure” and I found it enjoyable, but I couldn’t get past MIB’s assertion that he himself is obscure. He has 2 million followers on Twitter and he regularly appears on TV, but he thinks he’s obscure? Ridiculous.

I get the impression they’re just having friendly disagreements but amplifying them for the sake of comedy (and since Aukerman is the comedian, he takes the lead in this). Then again, maybe I’m not good at telling the difference. There’s a bit in the last episode where Scott Aukerman reads some negative responses he…

That’s cool but he wasn’t really that good as Jesus.

I expect errors like this are becoming more common as interviewers use transcription services that farm out to underpaid gig-economy work-at-home types such as myself. I used to edit these transcripts and there were some hilarious mishearings. I think my favorite was when someone said “Talmudic” and the transcriber…
