wasn’t this literally the plot of an episode in Atlanta s2? life really does imitate art

such a good cover, and an incredibly bold choice too, given the subject matter and how personal it is to Keith

never been a big Converge guy but Cave In are all-timers and Brodsky is the fucking man, so I’ll be spinning this

yeah “Certainty” and “Change” are both included on the tracklist, not sure why they aren’t mentioned in the article with “Little Things” and “Sparrow”

best band around releases another perfect song, what else is new?

I truly don’t understand most of what happened here but I’m pretty certain I love Vinder. he immediately feels like more of a layered and intriguing companion than, well, any Chibnall era companion has in three seasons. really hope he has a big part to play in the finale because he’s absolutely fantastic

you're not counting the Silk Sonic album as big? gotta be one of the most talked about albums this year 

“You truly think this make up is better than the ones above my comment, and below?”

Nardole if anything was so competent he just couldn’t be bothered putting in the effort to use his full potential most of the time. in fairness though most of his laziness would have saved 12 some trouble if he'd ever listened (like hey Doctor, let's not go into this abandoned spaceship with no oxygen!)

absolutely a callback to it but with some detail you couldn't get in the Pertwee era. they look unnervingly real now

The Sontaran redesign is really good and appropriately disgusting without going overboard for the kids watching. this is also the ideal villain for Chibnall to write: they’re pretty simple and hard to screw up, and he clearly loves deflating their arrogant demeanour with intentionally silly jokes. (also a Linx…

“State of Grace” is just an Unforgettable Fire-era U2 song with Taylor Swift singing over the top of it

I always forget Thewlis is in Lebowski until he shows up lmao. I love him but it was a very strange casting choice

will there boys becoming men? and furthermore, men becoming WOLVES?

the soundtrack to this show is always reliably the best use of music on TV. the scene in s2 when Paper Boi gets high to Flying Lotus’ “Coronus the Terminator” is permanently imprinted onto my gray matter

Maxine Alderton (who wrote the era highlight Haunting of Villa Diodati) is co-writing the Weeping Angels episode this season, so that’s one thing I’m comfortable looking forward to at least

“esteemed character actress and fugitive from the law Margo Martindale rides cocaine bear into Los Angeles for the premiere of Cocaine Bear”

was hoping for this result for exactly the reason listed. even the worst Nightmare movies have at a bare medium one inspired kill or memorably bananas sequence (Freddy’s Dead is garbage, but the sequence where the protagonists arrive in town to find out *all* the kids are dead and the parents are insane with guilt is…

New Test Leper has some of my favourite lyrics ever. truly stunning song

Bautista is genuinely a pretty great actor, although I felt like he had a lot of scenes in this that were cut for time. he mostly seems to recap stuff he was ostensibly there for to his uncle, which we don’t directly see Rabban involved in (eg “we chased them into a storm, there’s no way they’re alive” but in the…
