I watch Babish, Chinese Cooking Demystified, and Kenji Lopez-Alt on the regular (in decreasing order of silliness - Kenji can be very technical, but he’s probably the most informative), but if I were to recommend one super fun, wholesome cooking show, it’s Vice’s cooking show with Farideh Sadeghin. She is SO cute and

My favorite stupid deaths are when you are fighting a security droid, you get its health low enough to hack it into being your friend, but then your targeting won’t move off it onto another enemy, so you stand there facing off against it as it waves at you and watches the mob of guys behind you kill you.

No.

I found myself going in circles on Zeffo for hours.

I got far enough into the game to force myself to finish it, but man, what an unfinished game. Poor controls (I died more to slipping off those stupid slides than anything else) with bosses who seemed to get free hits because the camera was so terrible, boring as hell story (I’d rather have placed as the inquisitor

“The green room had Snickers, and not the fun-size ones either!”

Taking of Pelham 123 and Warriors are for sure two NYC classics, and Warriors gives you a nice tour of the boroughs when people weren’t exactly rushing out to the boroughs.

I’m pretty sure he’s openly discussed having bipolar disorder. It definitely strikes me as manic behavior, but there are so many confounding aspects - his celebrity, his narcissism, money, drugs, influence of a reality tv family trying to go for spectacle....I think whatever help he could have gotten has long since

Reassign the whole precinct to investigate white collar crime.

No Kimmel piece on a former Gawker site should run without mentioning how awful he was to Emily Gould.

I really enjoyed this bit of earnest silliness, it was perfect pandemic viewing. McAdams really is fantastic. A few notes:
1) You could tell this was going to be earnest and not satirical if you know that Will Ferrell has a Swedish family, lives half time in Sweden, and has remarked a number of times of his love of

I feel like I can think of oodles of actors who really clearly enjoy comedic roles and character roles more than leading roles, but were held back by their goddamned hotness. Jon Hamm seems to almost have contempt for leading man roles at this point. Chris Pine could easily be a Phillip Seymour Hoffman (ok, maybe not)

I think there should be no doubt that McAdams and Rose Byrne are the two most versatile comedic actors working today.

Yeah, this is a far less egregious age difference of young people depicted together than, say, Jason Stathem and Vanessa Kirby. 51 and 41 versus 50 and 31.

Now playing

When I hear that I can only think of Hot Chip’s “Ready for the Floor.”

He’s a combo of Penguin and Max Schreck.

I remember having to mail order a Batman action figure with a grappling hook belt from a catalogue, which took 8-12 weeks to be delivered. I was 7 and by the time it came, I had forgotten I ordered it.

I’d have paid to see a Tim Curry Joker at his prime, but I mean, Nicholson really does just kill that role. He’s amazing.

I think I read it right after I saw the movie, because I saw it at 7 and was so terrified of the scene where Joker electrocutes that dude (classic Burton creepy face) that I kept my eyes closed for most of the movie.

I just rewatched the first three movies this past weekend, and boy oh boy do the first two hold up (I couldn’t even IMAGINE the BDSM intense sexual psychodrama of Batman Returns ever being made today). And I had a thought, which lines from all three first movies kinda leaned towards. It seems on first viewing that
