Yeah, AV Club was a supplement of The Onion and moved to Chicago not long after The Onion moved to NYC. But they remained sister publications until they were swallowed up whole by Univision and shoehorned into G/O Media. Kind of funny now that AV Club is based in LA while The Onion remains in Chicago.

I used to walk by their offices across from the Capitol in Madison all the time. Also, The Onion’s offices were in NYC for over a decade when they thought they were going to be a film & TV studio

Agree, and my experience living in NYC is that everyone in Brooklyn complains about the hipster Midwesterners ruining the place with their beards and pickles.

Rip was always an annoying character and Hawkbarista was a wasted opportunity, but it’s all worth it for the epic Vandal Savage-in-Hell cameo during Crisis

yeah subtle. Even for a dinosaur movie.

Well, Denver also played guitar. So “bandmate”counts as “more”, but maybe doesn’t justify “whole lot”.

Finally put that “good dinosaur with a mounted laser gun” theory to the test!

Makes sense. I really only know Atom Smasher from Justice League Unlimited and that he’s somehow related to the Golden Age Atom.

Yeah, that was pretty bad. Just thought maybe they’d learn from WW84's mistakes. I’m not sure using a fake country as a stand-in completely side-steps that since its built from broad stereotypes. It does avoid boycotts from Kahndaq, at the very least.

One of the major differences between DC and Marvel is that DC uses mostly fictional cities whereas Marvel uses real world settings.

I’m hesitantly excited for this movie. Nice to see DC/WB adding some B- and C-listers to the sandbox again. Mostly interested to see what they do with Dr Fate and Hawkman, Brosnan and Hodge are pretty solid casting choices. Atom Smasher and Cyclone are odd choices (I read they wanted to use Hawkwoman but couldn’t for…

It was a fun sketch, I was glad to see Melissa get some airtime. I’ve been listening to a lot of SNL-related podcasts and interviews lately and everyone seems to have someone that they write with or someone who writes for them. I could be wrong, but I don’t get the sense she is ever teaming up with any other cast…

Sherman has really grown on me. Even in the Bratz sketch playing straight man she’s kind of bonkers in a funny way.

His Uncle, Sledge, blew up a whole city!

The effects are likely not finished for these quick shots, show doesn’t drop for another 3 months.

It’s currently May. Show doesn’t drop until August. Most likely these shots were rushed for the trailer and are unfinished.

How is Eternals not at the very bottom? Especially considering Marvel didn’t learn anything from the failures of Inhumans which was essentially a dry run. I was blown away by how bland and boring Eternals was despite a stacked cast, a stellar director and Jack Kirby art to draw inspiration from.

Yeah I was like, is this the author’s first trial?

The Apocalypse design was not only a huge whiff aesthetically, but it was about 10 years out of date. Iron Man and General Zod had already been walking around their sets in motion capture suits, adding their bulky mech suits in post, years before Apocalypse was filmed. I’m not sure why they decided burying Isaacs…

Yeah, it’s not really a bottle episode. I’m not sure what the trope name is, but ever since Tony Soprano went to the conference in Costa Mesa a few shows have done the psycho-babble afterlife/dream-scape episode where the main character works through their own issue in a surreal Spellbound-type alternate plane (The…
