Aside from well-known conservatives, like RDJ, Adam Sandler, Tim Allen, etc all continuing to get work and, in many cases, are beloved. It’s almost like ‘Hollywood’/people don’t want to work with box office poison, complete assholes, etc. with many of those people also being MAGA chuds (which is completely on brand

Hollywood is not aligned with any ideology other than the one that maximizes profitability.  

Right-wingers bedrock belief that Hollywood is liberal is easily disproved when Dancing With the Stars hired Spicer, The Masked Singer hired Roodles, and, most egregiously, SNL hired Trump to do episodes. Turns out entertainment companies are giant, multinational corporations that are more aligned with Republican

Because in this economy no one has seven dollars.

What part of the name barrycracker makes you think they’re white?

How is speaking Spanish something that is automatically at the “expense” of “white people”?

Lots of salty white folks here in the comments. It was too spicy!!!

It was awful but I preferred when Bad Bunny was speaking Spanish as his English was far too diffident for comedy.

Now playing

Every day on The AV Club feels like this excellent dissertation on being cool

I wish I had any idea what your take on this is. It feels snarky but I have no clue in which direction. Nor, I think, do you.

PR is a US colony; to which “them” are you referring?

they do nothing besides increase crowd noise, might as well pipe in a laugh track.
Its right up there with the crowds hootering and hollering over a pre-tape when someone they like shows up, it’s awful. Dunno why we need to hear the crowd during the pre-tapes anyway

Felt like both Bad Bunny and Pete Davidson didn’t really do much on their hosting gigs for either episode (well, besides Bunny also being the musical guest).

What language is this comment in? I have no idea what you’re saying.

Why is having a lot of Spanish indicative of an “us vs. them” world? I think that’s your framing there, bud.

There’s a contradiction here: if the original movies aren’t some untouchable sacred cow, why are the original characters so special? If remaking the ‘77 movie is fine to do, why be so invested in Han Solo and what-not? He’s just a gunslinger type without Harrison Ford; on the page, Obi Wan is just a stock wizard

In the reboot, all the characters will be played by Jar Jar Binks.

I thought the problem with Star Wars is that it can’t *let go* of the Skywalker family.

In fact, the episode did a magnificent job contrasting Minutes’ obsession with HWR and Renslayer’s obsession with “fixing the TVA,” showing how both were actually dominated by a need for power and totalitarian control. It was really well done and apparently went right over the author’s head.

Still enjoying this so far. I also enjoyed Majors’ performance, though it’s tough to ignore, you know, everything else that’s going on with him.
