I think it’s less “I don’t understand what their revenue stream is” and more “I don’t understand why their business model works, because they must be losing money.” (The secret sauce is: they operated at a loss for a decade, relying on investor money, and now that the tap has shut off, they need to cut costs and…

What if they were doing an exorcism on a shark?

The part of this article I disagree with is actually the (very common) idea that it was about Baby Boomers’ fear of losing control over their children’s behavior. Instead, I think it’s about the more specific fear of your child dying from an illness that takes their personality. Movies didn’t really depict people…

Definitely on point, in my opinion- what does it for me with The Exorcist is how grounded everything feels. The first half of the film doesn't have much of anything supernatural in it- it's just a mother trying to figure out what it happening to her sick child. The medical test scenes in particular are just brutal- it…

Man I miss the old avclub

HOT CHOCOLATE!!!

We gotta kill everyone advocating for this shit before it's too late

Why would you leave out the best part: he was fired for coke and hookers.

“It’s a shame then that it’s hard to root for AHS: Delicate completely considering season 12’s first part filmed during the WGA strike. The scripts were complete, but picket lines were crossed anyway. Kardashian herself tweeted from the set. (Production eventually shut down after SAG-AFTRA went on strike.)”

I’d love to see them bring back Larry Wilmore for hosting duties.

good. minhaj had his spinoff show like every daily show correspondant from that era already did (same with roy wood jr!). they all got canceled for a reason.

I still want to see the receipt that proves Mitch Hedberg bought that donut.

It depends on how you sell yourself as a comedian. If his thing is that he’s talking about his own actual life experiences in a comedic manner (which many people do and do well), then you’re saying “this is real, but here’s the comedic / dark / absurdist take on it” — some people are going to feel cheated if the “this…

In general terms perhaps, but I think the situation does become greyer when it comes to the kind of Nanette-eseque “this is My Truth” autobiographical-confessional-didactical strain of stand-up comedy which has become a lot more common of late, where the whole point is that the comedian is supposed to be expounding…

Face it, TDS screwed up when they hired Noah instead of Sam Bee.

My partner and I watched Naked Attraction and she was appalled by the uncut dongs on the show, so if I had to choose between her and “a little more sensitivity” down there I’d choose her every time.

Dude I want your elbow.

Well, my guess is that he wasn’t as talented as these writers and couldn’t come up with better ideas. Which is in no way something to be ashamed of but still very hard to face and accept.

Might have been very hard for him to be the face of the show and at the seeing the show taken away from him creatively.

It’s a…

There was no real need beforehand for us to know what Roiland's creative involvement was. Given that Roiland did the central voices and was essentially the face of the franchise, he was protected a lot. 

He wasn’t this season’s “most controversial contestant” because of the strike; it was because people kept confusing him with the fascist podcaster of the same name.
