I’d say that the MCU movies are better than fast food and are mostly range from Applebee’s to Longhorn in quality. While I generally don’t like to eat at places like that (I prefer to eat a locally-owned unique restaurants), I do like to go to a chain steakhouse from time to time. Local institution steakhouses are…

I hate that ad as well, but at least it is compositionally competent and has a logical, if insufferable, premise.

That’s Chevy, not badge-engineered Chevy.

Setting aside the problems of the “plot”, the ad is a technical mess. The scene where she enters the door to the house switches from an omniscient third person perspective to her selfie video is a mess, because it’s heavily implied that all the images we’ve seen in the ad are part of the thank you video. So either the…

I felt like the talking cat subplot was really a commentary on how some people deflect any criticism of what they like with “stop asking questions and just have fun”. People like that want you to enjoy what they enjoy at the same level they do without you asking about it and making them think too hard about it. When…

Accurate thing is accurate. I spent a day listening to both this and the new Amygdala album a couple times each. It broke my brain.

I think that the man is so terrified that she’ll get fat that he implanted a small explosive device in the back of her neck that will explode if she fails to use the Peloton regularly and so she obsessively records her rides so he knows she is complying. It would explain the terror. After awhile, she develops…

Oh, I don’t think that she’s an influencer. The big reveal at the end of the ad is that all the videos we’ve seen so far are part of a larger video diary... THAT SHE’S GIVING TO HER HUSBAND AS A GIFT!

Werner Herzog and Baby Yoda is the love story we want, deserve, and need.

Thank you for being one of the few general music lists to include Converge. That album is an absolute beast (and one of my back patches).

The weird thing is that while few adults older than 13 drink normal milk regularly, lots of people drink chocolate milk semi-regularly as workout recovery. My parents always steered me away from the grocery store stuff as a kid, but now I drink a glass of Guernsey chocolate milk (yes I name dropped a brand) after I…

People used to think a horse could do math. Now that story is taught in psych 101 about avoiding giving subjects leading prompts when doing studies.

Nothing wrong with using stuff you already have to do a costume but you costume can’t just be “you, but wearing my bicycle race gear”.

Quadruple also, let’s remember some guys (and gals):

Let’s all stop saying Jimmy’s name, so he can die that second death first!

Triple also, because there can’t be a DUAN tonight, check out this new song from All Them Witches. It’s like a heavier, smokier, more psychedelic QotSA at times. I wish I could have sent it to Drew as a brick wall song, but this will have to do.

I hope Jezspin continues until they try to give them a mandate of “stick to not sports”.

RIP Deadspin, long live Jezspin!

Let’s see if I can still comment on zombie Deadspin...
