Most branches of Christianity (definitely Catholicism) have their own doctrines separate from the Bible that describe why certain things are right or wrong, based on interpretation of the New Testament using some combination Old Testament scholarship and Classical philosophy.

Ahem, there can be multiple stereotypes about Democrats. You're forgetting about a little thing called racism.

Joke taken, but if you actually choose your vacation spots based on who has the best political track record, you should consider that 1) everywhere in the United States has a terrible political track record and 2) Hawaii's statehood is the most recent chapter in a centuries-old imperialist crusade against Polynesian…

A lot of the stuff they've collected here is a reminder that 70s variety television was really truly awful. I definitely remember sitting down with my friends in college to watch the Star Wars Holiday Special and realizing about five minutes in that it's not even amusingly bad - it's just kind of embarrassing.

So, ummm… are there any English folks of the appropriate age who can comment on James Sinclair at ~11:10?

Yeah, if Chris Isaak has a place in Twin Peaks, everyone does.

His Wild One outfit didn't even fit all that well - like the hat was too big for his head. And the character is deliberately ridiculous.

I like how it's not clear how silly Cera's character is supposed to be in the universe of the show - Lucy and Andy are delighted by him, but I think from Robert Forster's expression that he's supposed to be at least a little ridiculous (though not nearly as ridiculous as he appears to us viewers).

True story: The Earthworm Jim them song has been stuck in my head for the last twenty-five years. Even moreso than the Freakazoid theme song.

I played that last year, and while the graphics and sound are awesome, it mostly made me want to replay Symphony of the Night. It's also brutally difficult.

Please, they had one of those cleaning kits that looked like a Swiffer brush with a bottle of Stuff Your Owner's Manual Specifically Says Not to Apply to a Game Cartridge, but What Else Are You Going to Do When Contra Just Looks Like a Pile of Japanese Letters.

I also like how Tituss Burgess using that irritating, nasal voice when for the "Boobs in California" song.

It also has Titus' great line about being on the group's list of Top 5 Hitlers ("The real Hitler wasn't even on the list!") and his other great line about someone drawing a "Michael Jordan mustache" on his picture. And as jokes about organized dissent go, the bit where the group of Asian protesters get sidetracked…

To be fair, the joke in this episode is pretty much that Xan keeps trying (and failing) to schmooze her roommates, since she can't bully them. The hows and whys of that relationship matter, of course, but in choosing "Xan's roommates don't like her because they detest her privilege and condescension," there's at…

"It's all a damn sight better than the trenches, eh, old boy?"

My older brother and I used to have "lightsaber fights" with whiffle bats, which was tons of fun until someone (usually my brother) got a whiffle bat across the knuckles.

That's what I remember, too. I grew up watching the Star Wars movies on low-quality VHS cassettes that my family taped off of CBS in the mid-80s, so it was a big deal when they released the THX-mastered VHS set around 92 or 93. And it was a big deal when the Super Star Wars games came out for SNES. And then it was…

What, you didn't like watching a CGI rock slide down a CGI tunnel and hit a CGI column? That's how you start a movie, man!

Oh man, you should start googling takedowns of Rob Liefeld. After a while they get tedious, but I got into that rabbit hole a few years ago (don't follow comics closely, obvo), and it's a treat.

I mean, the end of that scene is one of the best moments in the series. Even if you don't like the song, it's still clear what Lynch is up to.
