I appreciate the mention of how Karli and Sharon were underserved by the series’ 6-hour movie feel. One of the virtues that television has over film is that it’s easier to stop for a moment and dedicate time to supporting members of the ensemble without sacrificing the greater story arc of the leads, but Falcon and…

Ray Fisher wants to make it really clear that he NEVER wants to work again, doesn’t he?

This wholly original series involves:

1. A fire-controlling villain
2. A mind-controlling villain
3. A mentor-like figure in a wheelchair with clear access to money and running at least one “home for gifted people”
4. A brilliant inventor whose machines are ahead of their time
5. A government that doesn’t quite…

Aww, thank you!

First gen Indian-American here. From my user name, you can guess my approx age and know that I grew up IN THE THICK of prime Simpson’s. I’m forever grateful to that show giving me & my family so much joy (and now I get to bond over it again w/ my kids).

As a kid, it was interesting to see Apu on the screen. We were…

I really appreciate how much work you do to come up with finds like this one all the time.  I can’t even imagine how much different stuff you must check in with all the time.

I remember there was a Buffy week on the AV club shortly before Kai Cole’s public declaration about him, and the site switched gears pretty fast without any real acknowledgement of the disconnect.

A corollary of people overlooking shitty behavior of artists they like is this trend of people acting like someone who is…

Every once in a while I’ll grow tired with a show and stop watching it, then be surprised years later when I realize it’s still on. So call Shameless the 2021 version of Modern Family for me. 

I’m not surprised at all that Bucky’s a little more old-timey. Personally I want to see an episode open with him complaining to Sam about the Designated Hitter rule. 

“Boxy-but good.”

Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for (almost) free?

Good storytelling is inherently manipulative.

He was also fantastic in Night Shift, that movie turned Michael Keaton into a star, but Henry was so good in it too, playing against type. One of my favorite comedy movies from the 80's!

I’m half-suspecting the “angry black man” conversation was actually more like:

I also just noticed the homage to Action Comics #1! Even the framing with the overpass kinda works it.

“For the record, Elon, I’d be a buyer of a $30,000 Model 3 with 100 miles of range. Make it happen.”

It’s a school board. They’re not getting paid for it. lol

Can a documentary be titled Allen v Farrow when only one voice is heard?

Are there any other culture sites that haven’t lost their collective mind about this issue and objectively look at what happened in this case? Only recall that that Salon/Slate occasionally published Woody dunking articles and the commentary was heated but mixed. This site seems to be so far gone that the mere mention …

1. The series seems to be in line with the way the Farrows have acted throughout this, in that in one breath they go from “believe survivors and let them hear their stories” to hand-waving away the fact that two of her kids claim she was physically abusive.
