I suppose that’s an interesting question, and I’d contend this is one of the best examples of it that we have. Your perspective throughout the article just had me scratching my head wondering, “what’s he trying to get at?” So if this was just an evaluation of superhero satire on TV and in movies as it stands in 2019,…

I don’t disagree with most of the criticisms of this episode in relation to the series as a whole, particularly how various character and plot threads have been left hanging to move the A plot forward, but goddamn was this a good episode. I thought that the Syd/Gabrielle/Kerry/Cary thread was some of the weaker stuff…

I don’t think we’re supposed to forgive The Deep for assault, or feel bad that he got stuck in middle America. I think the Pathos lies in the (decently seeded) realization that he’s actually not meant to be around PEOPLE, it’s the sea creatures that he actually loves and understands. Which I thought was actually…

I’m really not sure I understand the point of this article. “The show was often better than the comic, but in doing so became less potent as satire?” Is that something I should value more than enjoying a show? Don’t get me wrong, I had some problems with the series (most notably the dangling threads left by the…

Came here to say this as well. Frost and Lynch wrote it all in succession and only in editing did they actually define the “episodes,” from what I understand. Egregious omission, no doubt about it.

Hannibal is a close second, but my answer would definitely be Twin Peaks: The Return. I can understand how some might argue that it’s less a “final season” than a revival of sorts, but it’s also one of the most interesting and creative seasons of television ever. It gave us some closure (god bless Norma and Ed) and…

As another white dude, I do not endorse this dumbass shit. You can’t subjugate a group of people different from you and claim that that difference is somehow not a part of your decision-making process. When that difference is race, that shit’s racist. Any other take is in extremely bad faith.

I guess J.O. stands for jerk off, because that’s what you are and seems to be all you’re interested in doing.

damn you sure got em

You’re actually just wrong here. Having read the script, there’s literally no way anyone who watches this movie would come out of it thinking that Hitler was somehow a cool guy, just that Taika making fun of Hitler is an absolute joy.

To answer one of your questions posed in the stray thoughts: I think the watery visions were a really strange (and unnecessary) misdirect for Bonnie’s eventual fate. Obviously they wanted us to believe at certain points that not only was she “drowning” in the face of the lie, but would also maybe end up dead. Yet…

The franchisees are doing god’s work. I love McDonald’s more than I ought to, but their chicken sandwiches are trash compared to any competitors’.

One entry that this list is woefully missing than any fan of this genre (or horror in general) absolutely needs to check out is “Lake Mungo.” Presented as a more straightforward documentary, talking heads at all, it covers the mysterious death of a girl and the subsequent haunting(?) of her family. Sometimes wildly…

Yo what. I’m 27, can recognize Robert Redford with and without a beard, and saw Jeremiah Johnson long before this meme popped up. This is some wild levels of face blindness/dumbshit.

*doesn’t play the game, shades an obvious improvement in costuming for clicks*

Damn, Gita, you’re one of my favorite contributors to Kotaku but this take is straight butt.

It would be impossible for me to truly pick a winner here, as I love any and all soups. No discrimination. Ramen might be my favorite, but that was included in the Noodle Draft so I understand its absence here. However, Kevin once again gets my vote purely on the mention of Liuzza’s by the Track. When I was driving…

Ladies and gentleman: A Bad Take.

As Kevin and I would have almost the exact same picks, it easily goes to him. But to include both Chicken in a Biscuit and Chili Cheese Fritos? That is digging so deep into my own favorite treats that I think Kevin Pang may actually be an alternate identity of mine, living unbeknownst to me as I sleep. Which of us is…

My daily lunch has become a salad, and my company is good enough to have the fridge space for me to just keep the fixings at work, but even if I didn’t the prep is practically nothing: I do cook up chicken breasts and shred them for the salad (very quick an easy in the instant pot!), but beyond that it’s just dried…
