I think it’s really important that extremely rich and highly successful comics use their public standing to promote the work of other extremely rich and highly successful comics. Especially when they’re dead.

A year-and-a-half is indeed a long time. And yet it’s only half as long as 36 months. That’s gotta be a typo, right?

Shout out to WTF’s Sharon Stone episode. Really fascinating discussion.

The way Mickey was acting at Gus’ parents’ anniversary party infuriated me. I was literally yelling at the screen for him to break up with her in the parking lot for being such a brat. It also would have been great if he’d thrown the keys for her to find, turned, and gone back inside (okay, not really).

Hopefully, a fresh take by Boyle will end that. I’m excited to see what he brings to the franchise.

I still would have liked episode recaps/reviews. These seem to be going away here on AVClub; for years most of the shows I watched had them, now very few do. My current and recent series-watches include Crashing, no reviews here; Altered Carbon, ditto; Love, same; High Maintenance, not covered; have been belatedly…

The two Tony’s and Artie Buco doing a bunch of dumb shit, Feech’s robbed card game, Big Pussy in the Unrest of…

He never had the makings of a varsity athlete.....

You’re a nut. You’re crazy in the coconut.

purely psychosomatic

That boy needs therapy.

Dexter: “The poster is fake.”

I wonder if the main character will be loyle to his capo.

It was pretty much a remake of Jingle All The Way.

I like the initial focus on Robert, and how it contextualized the power fantasy. Starting with Nanette as the protagonist would weaken Robert’s characterization, and undercut the real world stuff. Showing why Robert decided to put Nanette in the game is a big part of the narrative.
