But… Paramount + Showtime was right there.

The weekend of Nov. 9th, 1984 was kind of wild. George Burns beat The Terminator, Mozart, and Freddy Krueger.

Maybe Beyonce should have waited for a summer release. Most college students are home by now but this tour is Renaissance, not Homecoming. Everyone is madly hunting for that special “thing” for someone with the focus of a sharpshooter. Add in all of the rushing for work deadlines, family events and obligations and we…

Takes so many years from start to finish (they started working on Boy/Heron in 2016 (i.e., story-boarding)) that I doubt that at 82 years old, he’s likely to start another project of this scale. That said, just got back from watching it and it’s a great swan-song for a brilliant career.

Has there ever been a more random Top 10 for the U.S. box office?

35th anniversary and it’s regarded by many as a Christmas movie. I saw it today with my kid and I swear she could not have been more bored. I almost left her in the parking lot.

This is pretty cool. It didn’t have any real competition but it’s nice to see people came out for it. Sadly I won’t get a chance to see it until the week after Christmas but it’s already a planned date for me and the wife for then.  

A Die Hard re-release?  Yippie-Kai-what???

Skipping political cold opens and sad ballads makes the show much better.

Re SNL, I think Andy Samberg was doing absurdist humor before Gen-Z was even born. And do you not remember the sketches John Mulaney wrote for years?

Honestly Gen Z(in general) doesn’t like absurdist humor from what I understand. Thats really Millenials thing, basically growing up with shows like Tim and Eric on Adult Swim. Which makes sense because SNL has always tried to be funny for the “kids” but its comedy always feels a decade old.

It’s felt like a sketch that wanted to be edgy politics(as much as SNL ever is) but ended up in rewrites to “both sides”. It seems like they wanted to lampoon the Congressional hearing about Antisemitism on college campuses in light of the human rights nightmare Israel is currently committing in the West Bank but then…

There are a few evergreen recurring hosts I’ll always tune in for, and Adam Driver is one.

I just want to say that you are kind of unfair to the writers at times vis a vis the social media thing. I see you comment a lot like “well they were a month late on the month old social media gag”. I mean... they are either going to be first and go viral or practice the dancing gag for a month with Julia Styles and…

In order to give this episode an “A”, one would have to pretend as though that catastrophically bad cold open never happened, which this review cleverly did. I fear it may have turned away a lot of viewers from what was an otherwise very strong episode.

Driver solidified his “one of the best SNL hosts” title when he did the Undercover Boss skit back in 2016.  I still laugh at him giving Taran Killam a card apologizing for killing his son. “Yeah we know you’re Kylo Ren”. 

That headline alone catches what made this episode work for me to the degree it did. The writing knew what it had with Driver, so they just went weird in a delightful manner knowing that the man would be willing to commit to everything.

I don’t think Driver is as funny as you do, but the material was definitely better. I never thought I’d see on SNL two gay men planning on “trying for a baby” because they are so clueless about female anatomy. But GenZ is making a lot of waves with their absurdist humor (which can only be so funny, for some reason).…

I thought tiny-ass bag (not on Youtube, but available as a clip on the NBC site) was surprisingly quite funny...

I think AMC feels a lot of loyalty to Odenkirk, and recognizes that audiences also think they should have loyalty to him. And while Lucky Hank had a premise that didn’t seem like it would appeal to a wide audience, you could have said the same thing about Better Call Saul. I think the statement is meant to indicate…
