I don’t think there are any popular podcasters who research their subjects. Maron just scrolls through their wikipedia once before interviewing someone then relates it to his sobriety and his career arc. Rogan just has a bad belief that everyone is treated unfairly online so like you say refuses to challenge shitty…

what the fuck...why in the world would Metallica 1) attempt this and 2) think it was good enough to upload on their site? 

I can take or leave wesley crusher but he’s absolutely right about twitter etc. They suck ass. Kinja slides into its own indignation cycles at times (deserved or not), but twitter never ceases. 

somewhat related: Infinity War’s biggest mistake was wayyyy underutilizing Carrie Coon 

serious question: matt lauer has/had fans?

The wildest thing about McCain was that somehow he was despised by the far left because he was a partisan republican who somehow was incredibly racist and made people’s dads die of cancer or something (twitter, yay) and also despised by the far right for not liking trump and not doing anything overtly racist,…

that was my thought

Black Panther was good but do people really consider it to be the best film of 2018? 

FUCK! FUCKKKK!!!!!!!!!

Tangentially related - I scrolled through worldstar hiphop’s instagram feed. they have so many posts with the 6x9 guy. I listened to one of his tracks a few months ago (it sucked). Why do mainstream people give such an all around shitty dude so much exposure?

The show doesn’t air at 12:30 pm either! Hell yes, found another typo; bow before your new god! (it’s right elsewhere in the article tho)

If Netflix did 5-15 sec ads before movies and between every 2-3 episodes of a binged tv show I wouldn’t mind so long as it keeps their prices down. Cable still costs $50-150/month, and that’s the opposite of ad free, so nbd imo. 

the season 3 Big Reveal is that the real robots...are us

People know what they know. Unless you grow up eating at steakhouses with actual chefs and not, say, minimum wage paid kids or people who don’t give a shit, you’re probably rolling the dice on your meat at anything less than medium-well (not to mention every time I get a steak medium rare at lower end restaurants…

Have to agree that Transatlanticism is their best album, but the rest of the order is bleh. 

Who can forget the wonders of Catalina Caper?

Weird Al also just joined Weezer on stage for a sweet accordion solo.

Not sure why a Sonic film would happen, but will Adam Scott be Dr Robotnik?

Maybe I’m misremembering but didn’t Kylo and Rey have a connection again right as she was leaving on the Falcon? Or at least some glimmer she sensed him again, which would nix the idea it was solely Snoke? I don’t think her parents are important to her story, though the Aftermath trilogy does lend credence to her…

I hope the series just follows along the slow appellate process from the first ep’s Q trial.
