Give it a fucking day, lord have mercy do I have to break the habit of even glancing at this site at work if I wanna watch something unspoiled.

As soon as he made the offhand comment, I was sure AVClub would be assigning someone to write 500 words about it.
You can’t expect googleable fact checking from a professional writer, sorry.
As a, light skinned Latinx, I will say there are times it sucks being that because like lots of minorities it comes at you from both sides.
This article’s mere existence is pure 2020s A.V. Club.
It wasn’t for Katie, Ignatiy and Dowd, I would have stopped visiting this shitshow ages ago.
The author seems to think that the cross projected onto him is meant to be taken literally, as if it wasn’t satire meant to examine the melodramatic apologies that follow a celebrity being “canceled.” And this coming from a blog that started as a supplement to The Onion...
That said, I’m glad this post exists so I can…
I’ve been anxiously awaiting an AV Club review of Inside, and this is all that’s posted about it? A superficial take on a single, relatively minor song, that doesn’t seem to fully understand the broader themes of the special or this song’s place within it?
You’re not alone, friend.
I think I’m done too. Tried to make a clean break before, after the Kinjapocalypse and writer exodus, but the site still filled a niche in my life. Lately though, I just feel like I’m getting lectured by a bunch of snotty kids whose claim on the moral high ground is tenuous at best and outright disingenuous and…
I know this site’s been trending this way for a while, but this week especially, it’s stopped feeling like an entertainment site, and started feeling like a visit to the morality police, so I might have remove to my bookmark and stop visiting for the first time since 2001. That’s okay! Things change. I guess I just…
Nothing wrong with confronting your old material but when you have places like the AVClub whose business model now seems to go through a celebrity’s past like a lawyer looking for anything that they did that you can hashtag and make a career destroying scandal out of, don’t you think less people will want to risk…
I’ve increasingly noticed pop culture writers, particularly of the younger Millennial/Zoomer variety, tending to assume that everyone is just as Always Online as they are.
My husband died suddenly some 20 years ago. I imagine that the un-snap would be like my dreams, years later.
In those dreams I’m thrilled that he’s alive again, but there are so many questions (and I didn’t even remarry):
- How am I going to explain that his job is gone?
- How do I tell him I sold the car he had so…
“does it feel somewhat queerbaiting that the explicitly bisexual & codependent leads didn’t make their friendship romantic?”
Wouldn’t that just reinforce the stereotype that bi people can’t have platonic friendships? It’s pretty obvious that Abbi has never been attracted to Ilana in that way.
Like Abbi, I left the East Coast (though not New York) for Colorado around the time I turned 30. And the rumors are true - this state is pretty excellent! But a couple years later, even though on balance the move was a definite positive, I miss my best friends every day, and of course keeping in touch electronically…
And no mention of Trey’s proposal??
To the tune of Lizzo’s Juice! So satisfying.
That last shot of multiple pairs of best friends about to go on their own New York misadventures was such a perfect way to end the show. Closing a cherished book while opening a whole bunch of others, and Abbi and Ilana’s crazy-ass five-season journey is one I’m so fucking glad I decided to take. Here’s to the two…
