Squirrel Nut Zippers aren’t ska, you ruffian!

The best episode so far has been a secret episode of The Mandalorian! At least they gave us that much.

It’s just soooooooo long, and like you said, full of unnecessary plot threads that add nothing to the message. Do we need an Ariana Grande concert? No. Couldn’t they have just cut that scene at the moment when Dr. Mindy says he couldn’t remember her name when introducing her? Yes.

I’ve heard it’s just an hourlong preview for Obi-Wan and at the end a title card appears that says “Through the clue provided by the Hutts, the Republic rapidly figured out the Pykes’ whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing war on Tatooine.”

I also enjoyed Gardens Vs. the Undead and Upset Avians.

Man, this is exactly what I said to my wife. The Mandalorian is the better show, so maybe we don’t need TWO shows about Mandalorians. It’s a big universe.

How is Robert Rodriguez suddenly so bad at directing chase scenes? The rooftop chase in the first episode was so boring, and the speeder chase scene in this episode felt slow and goofy. The only exciting action scene so far was the attack on the train in the second episode, and surprise Robert Rodriguez didn’t direct…

“Smarmy” is an accurate description of how most of the movie comes across. It’s also so nihilistic and pessimistic that I’m not sure it’s actually prescribing anything other than giving up.

Amen on Nintendo. My kids plays on the Switch, and the times we’ve ventured into online games, it has been pretty harmless. The biggest obsession at my kid’s school is Minecraft, and I have created a world with my kid. It can be fun, but it’s buggy as hell on Switch. We’re going to stick to Switch, though, because…

Anyone else think Clint missed an opportunity on the rooftop to indicate to Maya that Yelena is Ronin? It’s a cheap shot, and Kate would’ve looked on in disgust. But that’s a sure way to get both of them off your back.

THANK YOU! This is what I’ve been saying. I turned it off about 15 minutes in because it felt like I was watching a child interpreting Snow Crash as an early PlayStation game. It was just terrible.

You’ve seen Ready Player One, right? That movie negates your entire argument here. It is both his worst AND most excessive.

Who?

LOL. From one review:

What is this game about??

Let’s move from “maybe affordable” Chicago where The Onion has been FOREVER to “definitely not affordable” Los Angeles for kicks!

“Stylish but uneven” sadly should be Guillermo del Toro’s middle name.

I’m calling it now: It’s Jack or Kate’s dad. The Kingpin connections are a tease and too obvious.

Wait... Is AV Club admitting that Eternals is doing well??

It’s clearly a bit. C’mon, guys. You can do better than this.
