Ooh, did you guys also do the unit that included short film adaptations of “The Monkey’s Paw” and “Under the Biltmore Clock”?

Not sure how much room for improvement there is on this adaptation:

Wait, this show still exists?

God help us, are cheeseburger goldfish a real thing?

Most of the series’ flashbacks have been as elliptical as memory, bursts of images and moods that are lurid or languid in equal measure, emerging and submerging like some drowned relic that is revealed and washer over again by a mercurial tide

Would you expect anything less out of a prime Orphan Black alum?

lol 🖕

Making inside jokes about a personal pet is fine, I guess (if that’s what you’re trying to get at). I’m still not sure why you feel like it gives you carte blanche to dismiss other people’s concerns when they feel like you’re making light of their lived experiences, but hey, you do you, man. I hope your coolnesss…

Yeah, wait until you’re being charged $20,000/year for insulin and test strips you’ll literally die without and see how much you laugh about it then.

High Life is diabetic dog piss.

Maybe sneaking an entire paragraph on the importance of academic copy editing into a review of a ‘90s horror movie write-up is the staff’s subtle bid for help—like the AV Club equivalent of posting as “SWIM” or asking an expert advice for “a friend.”

I think it’s more the re-creation of those “private” conversations in the NYT that people are objecting to...

Yeah. Why is the retraction message “We’re changing this article because we think the author’s snark was unduly influenced by her undisclosed personal relationship with the man who received the picture” as opposed to “We have updated this article to remove references to a nude photo the author described in detail to…

I agree that helps a little, but I don’t think Fred’s comments are built up enough (or reliable enough) to explain June’s decision from a logical or emotional standpoint. As someone pointed out elsewhere, June would arguably be in a better position to help Hannah from Canada—especially now that her actions have…
