Aya Cash was better in You’re the Worst than this. By a lot. And that’s not in any way a criticism of her The Boys performance. She’s just that incredibly good in You’re the Worst.

The anti-anti drug version . . .

You’re telling me, I actually knew her as a kid!  Took swimming lessons at her house with her mom, and her sister was just a year or two older than me.  I haven’t lived in Michigan for over well over a decade, so couldn’t believe it when my mom informed me she was governor.

From the far, far, far future, that kid plays a shit weasel little brother in the short lived series The Mick (staring It’s Always Sunny’s Katlin Olson), and nails that role too.  He’s apparently got a wide range of asshole in him.

I loved that IASIP episode, in no small part because Ski School was one of my favorite guilty pleasures back when I was in college. So I was already all-in on the episode, and then Dean fucking Cameron himself showed up, playing essentially the same character viewed from a much more enlightened lense than we had in…

Are you kidding? The released chapters are almost all great, and maybe the best one (The Foresaken) is about a “random character” (Aeron Damphair).  Basically, all the cool crazy shit is actually being observed by random characters now, so their chapters are among the most interesting, not least.

Yes!  Maybe the funniest joke of a great series.  My brain literally refused to fully accept that they were doing this for maybe a full 5 to 10 seconds after the song started.

It also helps immensely that her character clearly has her own shit going on outside of the movie. We never really see her relationship with her AI, but it’s clear she has one which is both different than Theodore’s with Samantha, but also special for her in its own way.

My working theory has been that Morton’s British accent sounded to “artificial” for American audiences, who were quite used to hear such accents from things like GPS systems. Jones has always said Morton did a great job, but never indicated precisely what was “wrong” with her performance. So my guess is that it was…

For those that missed the special, NBC has uploaded the full thing to Youtube.  Sweet episode all around, highlighted by Tammy 2's perfect cameo.

It’s funny, that trailer would make a hell of a lot of sense now. If you had that list of actors, who gives a shit what the movie is actually about?

You might check out Atypical too. Not as dark as End of the Fucking World (my favorite of the three), or as raunchy as Sex Education, but its got a similar sensibility. Bridgette Lundy-Paine, who plays the younger sister, is absolutely fantastic.

Hahahaha. That would have been such a gloriously insane crossover reference, the next Robo-Wars movie would have made a trillion dollars.  I would start camping out now to see THAT movie opening night.

I’m a huge fan of the work Jessica Barden and Alex Lawther did in End of the Fucking World’s season 2. Alex plays “scared and desperate” incredibly effectively. And Jessica really nails cynical young woman suffering PTSD. They’ve both got extremely quirky characters that could easily go wrong, especially when they…

The moderator’s, “Fuck, man! What?” to Charlie was one of the best delivered lines of the series. Holy shit that was funny.

The Breeders, on the other hand, still got it. I really, really, really liked All Nerve. Was blasting it last night in fact. I’m not willing to step into any sort of Black Francis / Kim Deal debate about when they were both in the Pixies, but I will say I prefer the latter’s work after Kim left the group.

DIGUSTINGLY? That scene is a tribute to that all time erotic adventure, Top Gun! The only thing that could have made that make-out scene hotter would be a volleyball.

Very late to the party, but no mentions in the reviews or comments for either Happy Death Day of Jessica Rothe’s acclaimed role in the Onion’s Today Now! Missing Teen segment? Surprised that it slipped by everyone, as Jessica’s acting was called out as a highlight even before she started becoming somewhat famous.

Yeah, Mother is a fucking terrifying song. Especially in context of The Wall as a whole, where she is one of the primary “bricks in the wall” that Pink builds around himself. This is made super-clear in the theatrical version of the song, which is ominous as fuck. The groaning intro around 1:30 is straight out of a…

What’s more, isn’t Led Zeppelin still an iconic classic rock band? If not actually *the* iconic classic rock band? I’m not sure why the reference would be any more dated today than when the episode aired.  Or am I the one who is now old and out of touch?
