Bojack Horseman immediately came to mind when I saw The Critic mentioned, but I’d agree it’s more of a spiritual successor. For one thing, its New York setting meant that outside of the parody movie reviews, The Critic tended to skewer East Coast media life more than Hollywood. And while Duke Philips was created as a…

2012: Colts die, Luck is cancelled.

In related news, the next version of the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary is expected to require a Parental Advisory label.

Motor Induction System Taycan, or MIS Taycan for short. 

It’s definitely along the lines of the British SAS insignia.

The uvula must therefore be the foot of the mouth, which is to say it is also a body part Liefield omitted because he couldn’t draw it.

Moses is a quality role player to be sure, but he’s never been able to lead a team to the Promised Land by himself.

And Stephen King’s “The Langoliers.” TV Tropes uses the term “Clock Roaches” to describe such monsters. I still found the “demons” in Legion to be a chilling take on the idea, but it’s one of those distinctive concepts that, when introduced, can’t help but make the audience think of all the times they’ve seen it…

I don’t want to spoil it, but at the end of “The Veldt,” it’s not the children who die.
