If they had kept this in the Venom books and made it Venom specific (maybe bring in Peter and Carnage due to their close connections) I think they’d have had something pretty good and personal. Instead it’s leaving casual readers - if there are any casual comic readers any more - thinking “what suddenly Venom is…

Today, we’re going to do a Tier List of Simpsons gay jokes. So... ... ... uh... in this case D is clearly offensive while S will stand for spectacularly empowering and funny. Before we start, as you like and subscribe, a little bit about my history with the show.

Oh! It’s all about white men and their hangups, and how other people relate to the white main character. Kinda like an Updike novel. I give it two pulitzers and a think piece in GQ.

Brooks Ashmanskas was nominated for a Tony for the role Corden has. It’s a deceptively tricky role because the gay stereotypes the character plays up mask deep hurt. At first Barry doesn’t show anything other than who he thinks people expect him to be but as the musical goes on the “act” begins to crack. Now it’s…

I saw this on Broadway too and I thought mostly the same thing. Light as air and, despite nods to topicality, it only wanted to entertain and I respect that. I wasn’t upset that I spent my money. It’s the kind of “fine” show that probably will run forever in High Schools and nobody watching it won’t be entertained.…

Services are exactly why the cities have more homeless. If you loose your residence would you rather be in Kentucky, which really doesn’t have a safety net, or New York?

Recently Boston did a survey and found out that a large portion of it’s homeless come from other places because they have good services like job…

Is there an author with a track record as good as Robinson’s?
Gilead is a marvel, Lila is a strange story that somehow fits into the first perfectly and the rare sequel/prequel that makes the previous love story better, and Home adds depth to it all.

Houskeeping, her first book a marvel.

Needless to say I’m very…

I work in a school that is 1:1 iPads. Students doing video production will appreciate the better cameras.

That’s all I got.

I’ll stand up for that Santana lick on Smooth. I just wish it was attached to a better song. Everything about it screams, “shut up Rob Thomas.”

I DJ field day at the school where I work. Right before the first game I play Come On and the kids get pumped as hell.

I played The Mastermind on heavy rotation. Stone cold classic.

Wow! You were into being into things before being into things was a thing.

Shawshank holds up a lot better than Pulp Ficton. Where Pulp is a performative Shawshank is one of those cases where every single part comes together and just sings. There are moments when Pulp practically shouts “look at me, aren’t I impressive” and to me that’s really off-putting at times. QT would become a much…

The author sides with Altucher? Dude, you’re being conned.

I’ll take a pass on Spider-Woman. I want Ghost Spider as the gateway to dimension hopping Spider-goodness.

I loved it.  I mean, it’s Deke.

Considering the age of the characters the worst case is the Arrowverse version of Riverdale. The best case is the Arrowverse version of Buffy.

I saw Danza in Iceman. The fact that he held his own and stood out, in a good way, with an absolute murder’s row of actors made me re-evaluate him. The case had Paul Giamatti, Robert Sean Leonard, Michael Emerson, Ed Dixon, Julian Gamble and a host of stage vets... plus some other guy in the lead role. Danza’s name…

I switch services monthly or bi-montly as things I want to watch pop up. This July/part of August I’m on Netflix where I plan on finishing up what’s available of Schitt’s Creek and catching up on a few other things. Next up is All Access where I’ll finally get around to Picard. I might not be on time but it beats…

Are we talking about the same character? You might be thinking of Agent Burly McSwitchsides (aka Ward). Cal’s her dad.

Also, wither Deke? I sense sitcom spinoff called “Everybody Loves Daisy” where he, Quake, Ward, and Sousa become roommates. For comic reasons she ends up with Deke despite being always annoyed at his…
