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?

It’s a wonderful restaurant.

You want to bet on a dude fucking an alligator... Money Plane.

Sammi Byzanti is taking one full grade off the season as we speak.

I heard this exact rhetoric when I worked in a union. But it was them telling us we need to vote for Obama.

Has she had a single good experience in her whole career? I know these excerpts are trending to the more dramatic stuff to increase interest in the book, but I’m starting to wonder.

Barsanti is a white guy reviewing pop culture. He’s got no choice but to lean hard into performative wokeness.

Like, I can’t. So fackin’ what if it’s Mel Gibson? You refuse to watch Road Warrior, Beyond Thunderdome, Payback (fuckin’ PAYBACK?), Braveheart, just, like, a ton of great movies cuz dude lost his shit 15 years ago and has been relegated to the VOD realm?

I dislike Mel Gibson (I still love a couple of his movies), I detest anti-Semitism, racism, misogyny, and more things Gibson is probably associated with.

I can never tell reading Barsanti’s reviews whether a show is good or not because it’s usually just culture war/political shit.

This isn’t terribly difficult, right?

Two things about this episode that my wife and I found funny: Cliff’s “stress dancing” prior to calling MB, and the Ferris Bueller callback when Charles and Oliver were telling MB to leave (you’re still here? Shoo...).  This show is very good at meta

All the Martin Short brouhaha has me looking back at old Glick episodes, and his inspiration: Skip E. Lowe. It looks like Romeo Carey uploaded a shitload of Skip’s weirdass public access interview show to YouTube and man are they worth dipping into or writing about on a site that discusses, oh, pop culture.

Yes, but also no. When you make something that absolutely hits in a big way with a bunch of people, you dramatically increase sales. Overly complex means that many people will avoid it, and so you want to avoid that, but this is different from dumbing something down. When you dumb things down, it pisses people off,…

The outrage seems performative and disingenuous

They might if they were drunk! 

Indiana Jones being a bit problematic is basically tradition.

Is sounds like she was trying to groom but was just really bad at it? Idk where that falls. Ill intent but inability to follow through to the actual intended abuse/rape. Bad person, sure, but not an actual rapist. This shit is like an Always Sunny episode.

I can’t wait for the Netflix series five years from now, where Harry will talk gravely about how traumatic it was to hear his wife described as a “grifter,” because it reminded him of the unfair criticism his mother received before she died.
