This show is bad. Bad in a charmless way. It aims for camp and misses completely (see John Waters for camp done successfully).

You were right! 8.5. I underestimated the fork this time.

Let's check back here after they post the review so one of us can say 'I told ya so' to the other haha :)

I feel like my understanding of the p4k artist cycle is very different from yours. From what i've observed it involves elevating an artist largely to discard them when they make a play at accessibility (there are exceptions to this rule i.e. Tame Impala, Daft Punk). I'm estimating a high 6 from p4k - or if they don't…

Yeah I like the demo better too but I think that might just be because I heard it first.

Happy some mainstream outlets are giving it good reviews before the inevitable p4k slagging. Also, Kill v Maim and Venus Fly are crazy good!

I really loved this show when I was a kid. Pete & Pete too. The golden age of Nickelodeon.

Charli XCX wrote "I Love It" for Icona Pop and is probably diving into her money bin right now since that song has been used in every product commercial for the past 3 years.

Many people are very easily seduced by Alex's perspective and take genuine joy in the carefree experience of violence (which is…

Wasn't there a stretch where King was writing entire novels in under two weeks while coked up and out of his mind. I think Cujo was during that period.

It's strange because I love both Kubrick and King but for completely different reasons.

I can't wait till HBO wakes up and does a 13 episode version of IT.

If you are taking the photograph at the end literally - or anything in the movie literally for that matter, you're fundamentally misunderstanding the approach Kubrick chose to explore a set of interlocking themes. Kubrick's approach to filmmaking (not always, but most of the time) is more of a visual semiotic chess…

No. He is not.

The discomfort of that sex talk made me pause it repeatedly just to take a break from all the awkwardness and fremdscham.

And I'm agreeing with you :)

Absolutely!

Predictions that are a bit far-fetched but fun to consider:
