My post was mostly tongue-in-cheek, and I don’t really want to write an essay about why I find Lana Del Rey underwhelming, but...

A television series about a pair of resentful baby boomers literally slaughtering millennials? Chris Morris could probably make something insightful from that premise. Howard Gordon, though? The writer of conservative torture porn like “24" and “Homeland”? I doubt it.

Somebody please explain Lana Del Rey to me.

That Tool fans took an innocuous comment about an article’s wording as a personal attack on their favorite band really goes to show how hilariously insecure they are as a group.

I carpool with my wife, and whenever she drops me off at work, I'm tempted to cackle "Thanks for the ride, lady!"

If you’re worried that you’ll lose your crown as Most Tedious Thing on AV Club, I wouldn’t sweat it too much.

Bautista is the only one to come out of this stupid thing with an even better reputation than he had going in. It takes a lot of courage as a relatively new movie star to take a stand against the Disney behemoth, and he was tenacious in his defense of Gunn.

Why does Hollywood keep trying to make John Cena happen?

That happens a few times in this series too. I can forgive the Russian-language news broadcasts because authenticity there lends some verisimilitude to the series. However, the evacuation orders being played over the loudspeakers in Russian is a little jarring.

This is such a tremendous bummer. The Evil One is my go-to Halloween album, and I’ll sometimes find myself humming Two-Headed Dog when I’m walking down the hall at work.

I liked it better when Great Job Internet didn't ruin my day. 

A film about the professional and mental collapse of an aging movie star set against the backdrop of the Tate murders?

Probably, but this is the “Newbies” review thread so I’m trying to tread a line between giving GRRM credit and not referring too explicitly to the books.

If you didn’t think GRRM and the adaptation were setting Dany up to be the Mad Queen then you haven’t been paying attention. She’s been impulsive, vindictive, and wrathful since she started down the path to conquering Westeros in S2. She’s only been kept in check by the wisdom of her advisors, and even then, it’s been…

Her “...shit” after accidentally referring to the invention as a car and Aukerman gloating “You said it’s a car! You know it’s a car!” was so funny that I had to pause the podcast because I was laughing so hard.

Entrée PeeE Neur is like a distillation of everything that endears me to the podcast. I love when performers paint themselves into a corner and have to quickly think of a way out, and with Entrée, that happens almost immediately. I get the love for Gino, and Gabrus always feels lightning fast with his improv, but Gino…

The Night King essentially got Ned Starked, and I’m totally okay with that. Just as Ned trusted naively that justice wouldn’t be subverted, the NK was overconfident that he was unstoppable. Every time we’ve seen him throughout the series, he’s moved with the kind of ponderous indifference of somebody who’s convinced…

This episode hit all my sweet spots.

I love how, in his disavowal, Ricketts is “particularly” concerned about the antisemitism, implying, of course, that it ranks above all the other bigoted bullshit white supremacists push. Even in their disavowals, GOP dickheads can't help but make clear how they don't care all that much about aggrieved minorities.

Okay, so they hate homosexuals, but I implore Page to consider the following:
