You’re not wrong that writing criticism is a personal journey, but there’s no such thing as overthinking a show. Not everyone agrees with that: trust me, I’ve been living with this claim for over a decade now. But as someone whose literal job—and my second job—is to analyze media in a way that many would claim to be…

“WandaVision kind of fell apart near the end,”

Equally well-supported counterpoint: no it didn’t.

The day Sam Barsanti reads people’s feedback on his articles is the day he stops working for this site.

I thought Sudelkis did some wonderful acting there - no words, just the changes across his face...

It feels to me like the show is building to Ted and Sharon both dealing with their drinking problems. Ted is definitely a problem drinker, to the point that Beard knew to have multiple beers waiting for Ted after Ted had a bad day. And Ted definitely noticed the signs of problem drinking at Sharon’s apartment, he made…

Yeah, I’ve loved this season, but I appreciate your reviews. I agree with you about Sam/Rebecca, dropping the Dubai Air thread, and keeping the team’s progress so completely offscreen, and whatever this episode was trying to do with Roy and Keeley; I just don’t see them to be quite as problematic, especially since I…

I really like that we don’t hear what was in it except for one word (and no context for that word) and her saying she addressed all his feelings. It made his selling of the moment that much more powerful.

Based on Sharon casually enjoying a beer at the bar, I don’t think the show intended for the wine bottles to suggest alcoholism?

I actually found the stories in this episode to work quite well, at least in isolation. Because even in re-watching season two, there are a lot of things that aren’t unmotivated or unfounded, but they are often missing connective tissue. Yet, I was still swept up in each character thread as it unfolded, rather than…

So I tried to submit a support ticket to the Kinja ZenDesk support link on the About page and got:

Here’s some breaking news:

In what might be considered an accidental improvement to Kinja functionality, I appear to no longer be getting notifications to posts that get starred. Under normal circumstances this would be an obvious detriment, but as it saves me the effort of sorting out which of my four posts on any given article is which since…

You’ve no idea. Loved that guy. L-O-V-E-D him.

Barsanti is not only the worst writer on this now piece of garbage website, he’s also the worst writer on the entire fucking internet. Ungrey me you cowards. 

Generous of you to think there’s any thought or intention behind this article beyond “hey look, people in movie!”

Or maybe Mulaney's marriage is none of our business?

You have no actual experience or knowledge of his relationship with his ex-wife and commenting on it as you though you know the inner workings is extermely weird behaviour.

It’s pretty easy for you to judge and dismiss things from where you’re positioned in this parasocial relationship. While certainly not as damaging as an addiction to cocaine, parasocial relationships and sitting so far stop a high horse in judgment of complete strangers are unhealthy and, in their own way, addictive…

I went to rehab for cocaine as well, I’m approaching a year and I’ve basically had to reduce a lot of things in my life that feel like I’m performing for people (work events, stepping down from roles in friends weddings, summer BBQ’s, dates). I can’t imagine being a literal a performer struggling with cocaine abuse.…

It’s so weird and unpleasant how many teenagers on Twitter feel personally betrayed because this person going through a lot of personal strife divorced his wife.
