She was not the problem in the sequel trilogy. They whole thing was a dumpster fire and should be wiped from canon, and our collective memories, but the actors were never the problem. Ridley, Boyega, Isaac, and Driver were all great casting.

The blow back on the Star Wars movies probably taught her to cash the Disney paycheck and then complete work that she enjoys.

Benati is phenomenal in everything. 

Loved GO On and I am sure I am echoing what others said on here but I think it may have been his best work. I was so pissed it got cancelled. It had a lot going for it, and a Matthew Perry that we all could take seriously. 

I liked it. It was also my first exposure to Brett Gelman and Laura Benanti.  

Excellent show, shame it didn’t run longer. Stellar supporting cast, and Perry’s performance was genuinely, deeply moving.

In better AV Club days, there was a recuring joke in the reviews about this show being called Goon. Still, I think I watched nearly every episode of it, and really enjoyed it.

I mentioned this show yesterday on this very site as my favorite thing he’s ever done. 

Animal Bossing:

The article where most headlines focused on the lying, he was also accused of running a very toxic writer’s room on Patriot Act where female writers felt especially denigrated and where there were claims of not wanting to fact check stories. I think that probably rightly hurt his chances of the Daily Show as well.

The article didn’t just call out Minhaj for embellishing stories. It also called him out for supposedly running a misogynistic, toxic writer’s room that didn’t value any fact checking.

Was Minhaj actually told he’s not getting the job, or is that just a funny story he made up for a new stand up routine?

Sounds good to me. He should definitely cough up some money for being such a shitbag. Hey, maybe being forced to do big cash payouts will be good for his “process,” right?

This is a pretty good piece, with just one minor quibble, which is that its appears to be founded on two objectively incorrect takes.

Yeah, that is a stupendous effect.

Seriously!!  I can’t believe there was no mention of that, it looks incredible!

OMG, a badge that enabled the Tsundere commentary would have been a perfect 100% reward.  Like I would absolutely play through the game again just to enjoy the snark.

The raw speed is obviously very impressive, but the slickness of that transition is the real wow factor here, IMO. Open map, select fast travel, fade out/in in the exact same timeframe would be significantly less impressive than this map level geometry blending wizardry.

I just wanted to say “False.” as someone who watches Jeopardy every night, I could not care less how people bounce around the board, or not. It’s a fully-open gameboard, any square at any time is up for play, and that’s the point!
