Don't get used to it. I'm willing to bet that this is the only A episode of the season!

It is so weird to me that such a uniquely British tradition has come over here. I'm tempted to watch it out of curiosity to see how they handle it in such a different media atmosphere.

Vaguely worded so as to be spoiler free: Everyone's interpreting that as saying that Don did a certain thing, but I don't think he's saying that at all.

Well-liked oil industry lobbyist Hank Cheeseburger returns to the site of his greatest triumps and unexpectedly falls for the hard-hitting investigative journalist assigned to expose him.

As a sidebar to that sick, sick burn: In the first paragraph of the review I notice Tasha mentions a countdown clock. Based on this and the preponderance of countdowns in STID, I'm starting to think that Lindelhof writes scripts devoid of all momentum and interest, then does "punch up" where he adds ticking clocks to…

Man, this makes me miss S2/3 Community. Specifically, Troy Barnes.

Best Episode Of The Season, Return of Stamatopoulos. Coincidence?

I found The Kick Inside at the bottom of a stack of bargain vinyl at a record store the other day. The guy who ran it had never heard of KB and gave it to me for free (It helped that I also sprung $30 for an Otis Redding record though I think)

One day I will write my thinkpiece on how Pitch Perfect 1 is a perfect superhero origin story movie, where the hero's power is Mashups.

Pitch Perfect 3 is like the original in that it's all about pop music mashups: Two Songs Enter… One Song Leaves.

I was worried about the 3D beforehand, but it was actually really well done. I got so lost in the frenetic pace of the thing after a while that I didn't even notice it.

Stopped reading that the instant he made the outrageous claim that Thunderdome is the best Max movie.

We got San Andreas and Entourage. Weird choices, but that San Andreas movie looks fun in a knock-off Roland Emmerich kind of way.

Yeah same. I literally stood up from my chair in fright!

Yeah, it was a very Louie payoff. I also thought the blurring of the line between reality and nightmare was very well done.

I enjoyed the creepiness of that one. It was another one of those "this is what it's like to live inside Louie's head" things, and nicely elucidated his moral compulsion.
I am looking forward to seeing the Goat episode.

Yup!

WHY ON EARTH WOULD HE TRY TO FIT IT IN TO HIS USUAL SCHEDULE?!
Like, It's pretty clear from his comments that he thinks TV is pretty worthless, so I get why he wouldn't give it his all, but I don't understand why he wouldn't say "hey, I've to to make the equivalent of 3 films worth of content this year, maybe I won't…

I vividly remember the moment we came up with the idea for Ratatouille. Brad Bird suddenly started scribbling down the words “rat Frenchman” over and over on a napkin. He must have written it hundreds of times. We all started nodding, because we knew this idea was going to make us a billion dollars.

It can't be as bad as last week, surely? (BTW, I wrote a mini-review for ya, coz of our discussion last week. I don't know if you saw it!)
