I’ve never watched Big Little Lies, but I’ve heard the entire premise is the characters discussing whether they should be called Regular Lies or Big Little Lies every single episode. Is this correct? Thanks in advance.

I’m amazed that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend isn’t part of this list, I had some minor issues with the finale but even despite that it was pretty amazing stuff throughout.

Jon Glaser Loves Gear should be on it too, but I’m less surprised by it not being there as it seems the site refused to acknowledge it’s existence for some…

Not entirely sure what the criteria for inclusion is, but Crazy Ex-Girlfriend sticking the landing has gotta qualify, right? 

And On Cinema at the Cinema!

Joe Biden is the closest thing to Trump in the Democratic field, and it’s not even really close. He is a serial fucking liar, repeatedly incorporating demonstrable falsehoods into his own personal story, and doing so even *after* he has been publicly called on it. He apparently feels an entitlement to behave however…

Great piece. All I have to say about Biden is if your friend is racist. And takes racist actions, and speaks against minorities, and you stand by him. You are racist. Maybe not to the degree of your friend. But you are no ally of minorities. And need to reevaluate your life.

I think Luke was worried that refusing to meet would cause retribution against June.

I’m not even a fan of the MCU, I’ve found Captain Marvel quite meh, and I’d gladly compare the final hour of Avengers: Endgame to the equivalent of a corporate PowerPoint presentation celebrating the accomplishment of a five-year business plan. I regard Kevin Feige as somebody who’s had an extremely successful run at…

This fantasy naive nerds have that Ike Perlmutter is a monster and Kevin Feige is their friend is maybe the #1 adorable thing online.

What’s kept Netflix’s Marvel superheroes from really being super?

Three times we did the “Superhero looks at their comics outfit in the mirror and says Oh Hell No” thing. Three times. Four if you count Murdock decidedly passing on his red suit for a whole season.  That’s a relic of the fuckin’ 90s and if these shows had been able to toss aside that retrograde sense that people…

You may have been eating better because of some previously held beliefs you have about Spain being more fresh than the UK or something, and ditto with returning to the US and suddenly gaining a bunch of weight, but in reality, Spain, the UK and Germany all have roughly equivalent overweight and obesity rates to one…

It’s not smug condescension, it’s a joke that flew right over you.

Next time, on Mad Space Nine…

I think Quark's "This is no time for a Changeling pride demonstration on the promenade" is a very clear nod in that direction.

Chimera had a very definite "this is about homosexuality" vibe to me. Especially with Odo not wanting to touch Laas when other people are around. I would even say it's Trek's most successful brush with the subject, and that as in some of the better "message" Trek they're best at approaching the subject by steering…

Next time, on Mad Space Nine…

In Covenant, we have a bunch of Star Trek characters ready to commit suicide to set their spirits free and join their gods. In real life, the year before Covenant aired, a bunch of Star Trek enthusiasts committed suicide to set their spirits free and join the UFO behind Comet Hale-Bopp. Kind of a disturbing parallel.
