I’ve watched Cowboy Bebop a million times and I adore the show, but you need to realize that the Cowboy Beboop intro is itself an homage, based on an even earlier anime called Gunsmith Cats (all they were missing was Yoko Kanno’s music), and they’re all direct stylistic copies of the intros to old westerns and spy tv…

Yikes. It sounds exactly like all the stuff that makes me cringe and change channels when I’m listening to NPR. Which is too bad, because the game itself looks pretty amazing.

I’m a 90s kid (and have the collection of chokers to prove it!) and I don’t remember anyone ever really watching this show. Singled Out and Blind Date and Change of Heart are the ones I remember everyone watching and talking about. It’s funny, though, if you google Next, you learn that they ran for six seasons... in…

I’m surprised AC Odyssey isn’t on the list anywhere, simply because Melissanthi Mahut’s Kassandra was the most impressive performance I saw all year, in any medium. She took video game mocap voice acting to a level of grace, nuance, and subtlety I didn’t even think was possible (kudos to whoever directed her, too). I…

Netflix has said they’re going to keep all the Marvel shows up for viewing for many years to come (a move that makes it pretty obvious that Disney actually cancelled these shows, not Netflix), which means that Disney probably won’t reboot any of them in any form, on the basis that they don’t want to advertise a…

I’m sort of surprised anyone is surprised by this one. Five minutes of listening to Neil deGrasse Tyson speak (about virtually anything) should be more than enough for you to realize that he’s the kind of guy you never want to be alone with in an elevator.

Yeah, no, when Jimmy Carter dies, God gets in his 1987 Toyota Supra and drives down to pick him up personally.

But, I mean, Christmas is when we all celebrate the most glorious rape baby - Jesus.

Yeah, that “irregardless” was some nice trolling. Very subtle, but sure to generate an extra gaggle of comments for the article. Well played, Randall!

You, sir or madame, are a Christmas treasure.

The real problem with competitive mobile games is that phones are super easy to hack, so any mobile versus game worth playing is inevitably going to get overrun by cheaters, just like South Park Phone Destroyer.

Now it finally makes sense. They’re never going to have actual home and away games, like in field sports, because time zones make that impossible for a global league. Instead, they’re going to tour the entire league to different versions of Blizzard Arena all around the world, so the “home team” designation rotates.…

Diane isn’t very different from anyone on Bojack Horseman, or Bojack himself. (Much like most people in RL) They all have ethics and morals right up until the moment those ethics inconvenience them in some way, and then they all do whatever they want. Diane does try a little harder, but that just makes her that much…

When #MeToo started, one of my first thoughts was, “Well, there goes Neil deGrasse Tyson.”

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a show, popular or otherwise, die purely of corporate restructuring. I feel bad for the Daredevil people. It really sucks that they managed to clear all of the very substantial hurdles involved in having a successful tv show, only to die from a stray bullet in the opening shots of a…

For me, this season had a strong start, and a weak finish. The cast on this series makes it impossible for me to stop watching, no matter how many times I swear it off, but then I almost always end up disappointed by the end of the season. It was nice to see the Murder House gang again, though. That’s still my…

Something about Ash’s mum forcing Mr Mime to sit on the floor and eat out of a dog bowl makes me uneasy.

I remember a friend telling me to watch The League. She was like, well, it’s not always great, but it’s worth every second for these two side characters who occasionally get their own episodes, Raffi and Dirty Randy. My friend was correct.

I’m not sure how or why you’d go into episodes of Outlander expecting things to be told from a different perspective than Claire and Jamie’s. Outlander is a romance novel (a well written romance novel, by the standards of the genre, but still, a romance novel) about two white people. It’s not going to suddenly turn…

I still want to know if Brian Cox is coming back for more of Jack Langrishe.
