It’s actually based on a stage play where the second act focuses on an older Catherine and her son Paul (who is just Peter made over to the point he’s portrayed by the same actor). So there was at least one more season to be made but that mean they’d either have to recast Catherine or put Elle Fanning in old age…

I’m sad to hear this, because I liked the show a lot. It had a satisfying conclusion. But...I also wouldn’t have minded seeing one season of where the show would have gone without Peter.

Agreed, but I would have loved a movie/special to tie up a few loose ends. Now we’ll never know how that american revolution turned out. 

This show cemented for me how much I love Hoult as an actor. His Peter was equal parts threatening and endearing, and the fact that you were ROOTING for a spoiled psycho like this shows the intricacy of the performance. The rest of the cast was great too, although some of the side characters were oddly utilized at…

Always sad to see a great (sorry) show end when it’s still hitting on all cylinders, but like the excerpt from Saloni’s review says, the season three finale definitely had a series finale feel. Moving forward without the Catherine-Peter dynamic would have been difficult, though I’m sure the show would have found a…

I prefer this version

So what you’re saying is many producers sent the pitch back to its grave, but none of them put a stake through its heart?

I’m surprised at what this obit leaves out. He also produced movies, including Repo Man and Tapeheads, and created the show that was the direct predecessor to MTV.

Yeah, it seems really fishy to me too. It makes me wonder whether the numbers for Covid19 deaths are going to be adjusted later when they have a better understanding of what the total list of side effects of infection are. A lot of the women in my family have a genetic clotting disorder, and this is giving me one more…

His intro to his remembrance episode of the podcast is just devastating.

I first got into Marc Maron during his Air America days, when he lived in Queens and adopted a couple of stray kittens he found in a trash can. One of the now very old cats died in the past year, and when I read in one of his show updates that the other was on her way out, I felt so bad that I cried. This... this is…

Same. When I saw this yesterday...just dropped my heart.

I had listened to the Cate Blanchett interview last week and was relieved that Lunn Shelton was OK—just a little strep, ya know.

I know I speak for the entire AV Club when I say we are all SO sorry that you had to find out this way, seeing how close you were. Condolences.

Fuck, this is terrible. Insane talent, prolific, in the groove and on the rise... We have been cheated. Thank you for everything thus far.

‘Now we’re gonna give you a fair trial....followed by a first class hanging.’   So many great lines in that movie. 

I forgot he was in that. But then again, it seems like everyone was in Silverado.

A really underrated movie.

One of those movies that I’ll stop to watch any time it’s on.

Silverado!
