BORTLES!

Having it not acknowledge Cobra Kai, which 99% of the audience will have seen, seems like a huge mistake.

Surely Sony wouldn’t crap the bed with an existing popular franchise ... oh, wait.

Toronto: The Long Beach of Canada.

I feel like we fought a war so we wouldn’t have to care about these fucking people.

This is definitely a choice.

Sublime is still huge in Southern California. (They’re Long Beach natives and beloved there, almost as much as Snoop is.)

But nationally? Worldwide? We’ll see.

Maybe.

Earlier reviewers’ reviews can be ... quirky.

The NYT today tweeted that Worldle puzzles have a 99% completion rate average.

The TV shows are okay, with their lower-stakes and eager-to-please fan-service.

For example, I’ve been starting lately with ARISE.

You missed out on the first version of the Hot Ones frozen chicken meal, which had three packets of various heat in it, ending with Apollo. (The replacement packs just have medium heat sauces.)

All three were pretty tasty, including the Apollo, but yeah, it builds and builds and builds. There’s a reason it’s not the…

Please, please, please kill Jonathan, who hasn’t had anything to do since the first season except having increasingly odd hair.

Once you have the Netflix Marvel shows on Disney+, the notion that D+ has a different tone than Hulu is pretty much out the window.

I’m sure the new D+ will cost more — but have significantly more content. But D+ is always in danger of getting deactivated in our house, as once the newest MCU show or the Mandalorian is…

Looking forward to Scream in space in a few years.

I hope they remember to scream for help in French.

Cosmic balance, man.

The (sadly discontinued) Hot Ones challenge package of frozen chicken previously sold at Walmart was excellent. Not only was the chicken shockingly good (like, best in category good), it came with three sauces of various heats, including Apollo.

It’s very hot, but not instant death. I think the folks on the show are…

I remember having to sit down with both of my kids and actually diagram out how a joke works. It was like a writer’s room in a psychiatric ward.
