The suggestion was, as an inexhaustive list, learn how to do carpentry, plumbing, or electrical wiring.

He wasn’t even making a joke. He was making an analogy that the writer (and probably the interviewer) is too young to remember

Actually Futurama is the name of the doctor. John is just the monster

I really enjoyed Trevor and Sypha in the original series (way more than solo Alucard). Loved him with them but not on his own

Bluejay?

“Oscar-nominated filmmaker, Ava DuVernay once again made history as the first Black woman ever to compete in the Venice Film Festival.”*

Hopefully she’s less than a tool than Cal Kestis. That guy is one of the worst fucking protagonists.

To be clear, the show does get preachy at times but that shouldn’t be a shock. What is surprising though is what you pointed out: it’s surprisingly well done and compelling outside of that.
