Is Young Indiana Jones worth watching? I just made my way through Brisco County Jr. and I assumed they probably had a lot of similarities.

I watched the pilot, and the thing that strikes me here is how many employees are in that store. This is, of course, in service of the needs of a workplace comedy. But unlike Superstore, The Office, Parks & Rec, etc., having 5-6 employees working at once in a typical neighborhood Blockbuster seems excessive to me. In…

I love the throwaway joke that after Al bottoms out & breaks up with Madonna, when he gets his life back on track, he is apparently dating Cyndi Lauper 

Kenan’s surfer accent is even more hilarious once you realize it’s a copy of Kel’s old Good Burger accent, complete with raspy stoner laugh.

Top Secret!

¡Three Amigos!

I thought we did. Just without the rapey scientologist.

It’s one of the things The Office did really well in its earliest (best) seasons, the long standing gag of Michael believing his co-workers were his family and friends, but the Dunder Mifflin employees barely tolerated him and, most of the time, each other outside of a couple of exceptions.

Yeah, I couldn’t help but sing “Take My Hand” in my head when I saw that in the trailer.

Seriously I can’t get around the idea that this SHOULD have been a show about a small-time indie video store still keeping afloat (as some do). That wouldn’t have the same brand nostalgia, I know. 

My main experience with Blockbuster was browsing the aisles of new releases, finding movie after movie where every single copy was checked out.

I recently re-watched You’ve Got Mail and it’s pretty unintentionally hilarious for that reason, what with the big bad Barnes and Noble analogue squeezing out the poor independent bookstore. I kept wanting to tell Tom Hanks’s character “don’t be so cocky, dude—Amazon will eat you alive within a decade.” Indie…

It’s funny to see the nostalgia for Blockbuster—even I’m guilty of it!—when at the time Blockbuster was huge THEY were the big bad guy for running the little Mom and Pop video stores out of business.

Watching the Baz Luhrmann Elvis movie unironically do the “singer gets the audience riled up” scene from Walk Hard kind of broke my brain.

Walk Hard is so good it basically killed musical biopics. I was stunned the Queen movie actually had the balls to do all the clichés post Walk Hard.

Walk Hard is an absolutely perfect parody and it isn't physically possible for it to be funnier 

Saying that Walk Hard should’ve been funnier is a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off.

Yeah I don’t like villain Reed or just super asshole Reed. But I do like my Reed to be so in his own world so much that he fucks up his relationships with his family. Less “I’m designing a device that could destroy the universe but don’t care because SCIENCE is my religion and everyone else are just ants to me” and…

I’ve seen Carden in enough non-Janet roles to think she could probably pull off a decent Victoria Von Doom. (Cue fanboy heads exploding)

I’m not against this but my issue is Jackson may be have too much likable charisma for the role. I prefer my Reed to be more cold and distant. Not a full on villain but a dude who just isn’t great with people or expressing emotions
