I disagree with Jeff Tweedy's overall assessment of the podcast, and with the idea that Koenig was *literally* falling in love with Adnan. But she did play up a weird schoolgirl crush vibe in her interactions with Adnan. At a guess as a (misguided) stylistic choice to increase drama at the times when his 'guilt'*…

He's a whole lot of fun.

I was never a fan of Star Wars, but I also own this because I am basically a terrible person. The desperate and near hysterical lyrics make "Bells bells bells" my personal favourite.

Ha, I came here to post the exact opposite. That stuff ruined me for people shampoo while I was in the US, and you can't get it over here.

Not even that in the UK. It drives me mad, as I think my parents would love it.

The Simpsons film - which is only, what, five or six years old now? - has a handful of jokes where the punchline is just 'lol, gay'. I've no interest in hating on them for hatings sake but if anything the way The Simpsons deals with gay characters has got worse over the years.

The only time I ever hear about how beloved he apparently is is when it's paired with accounts of his supposedly forgiven and forgotten violence. I think his reputation outside the US is still 'skeezy former mr madonna' rather than 'celebrity liberal'.

I had the exact same experience re: puce, and had in fact come below the line purely to comment to that effect.

Four parts. For one small village…

That book is so fucking frustrating. I honestly think the first third to half is some of the best stuff he's ever written but then it just shits the bed so hard. The Duddits stuff is jaw droppingly awful and what remains is so *dull*.

I can imagine me doing that too. I can't imagine Eric Idle doing it though.

Poorness is UNDERlined.

There have been some surprisingly great Homer lines this season. The otherwise fairly rubbish first episode has "Milk! Milk is for babies, and old guys who can't sleep because of what they did in the war!" which I think stands with his best.

Good Jeremy.

It was fairly recent (end of the summer I think?).

Hawley is just the *worst*.

Barney falling off the wagon always made me really uncomfortable; intellectually I can see that it was probably the way to go, but the character of Barney looks *exactly* like a Simpsonisation of my father's (sadly now deceased) best friend, who was also an alcoholic when I was a kid but sobered up for the last…

Word.

It's because it's made backwards.

I'm properly embarrassed by how much I hate that kid.
