Yeah, for all the deserved hate he gets, the show has been significantly better the last 12-18 months. And that’s mostly because new voices were added.

During my brief career as an occasional film critic for a medium-sized newspaper, I wrote that Pearl Harbor was sure to sweep the Oscars and was going to be the next Titanic at the box office. I also came away thinking Malibu’s Most Wanted wasn’t that bad. It’s got to be something they put in the soda at the…

Those are odd venues for someone as big as Lil Nas X is. It looks like they want to guarantee sellouts, and they’re not confident about selling out arenas.

So Adam McKay lost one of his oldest friends (Will Ferrell) over casting, then he gets attacked from all sides when the show actually premieres. I’m starting to think he shouldn’t have bothered making the show.

Even Adam F. Goldberg himself bailed three seasons ago (and refuses to talk about the show on Twitter).

No, but Richard Marx did, in de-aging makeup. Seriously.

Trailer? It had a teaser two full years ago.

So I need SiriusXM to listen to this? Is there a Marvel channel on Sirius, or do I just subscribe to the podcast through the app, or...?

Or how about we just stop awarding the Best Comedy Album award? Does anyone listen to comedy albums anymore? Are all specials simultaneously released on streaming? If not, why is this an audio-only award?

Yeah, if you wanted a specific toy for Christmas, you had just as good a chance finding it tossed aside in home furnishings as you would in the actual toy section.

I first noticed him as a Russian gangster in Life, that little-remembered Damian Lewis show. I honestly thought the dude was Russian. When he turned up on Raising Hope, I was shocked. And then I realized he’d been in Stan Hooper, which I watched, and had an arc on ER that I watched. The guy can really lose himself in…

She’s still only 32. Even if you consider the shortened clock Hollywood places on female stars, she’s got, what, 15 years to do some blockbusters / get another Oscar / make a whole bunch of money?

As soon as one or two shows from ABC’s fall lineup tank, they’ll stick it back on the air, simulcast with Disney+, just like TBS shows less-successful HBO Max programming now.

Seems fair; Chris Rock suffered no permanent injury.

I was a fan of the Carmichael Show, but I’m still trying to understand how this guy got picked to host. Did SNL get advance word that Carmichael was coming out in his HBO special, and just assumed that’s all everyone would be talking about when the show aired a couple of days later? Even in a world where Will Smith…

I feel bad for Kate. That Tiger King thing on Peacock seems to have landed with a big ol’ thud, and the Dropout, which she was attached to before Amanda Seyfried, actually has some buzz. All of which is to say, I guess she’s coming back for another season?

Great point. With the movies he’s been doing, no red carpet, no press junket, no talk shows, no Entertainment Tonight visiting the set. All he has to do is make it through a few lines.

Who are they fighting in this one? Tried to Google it and couldn’t get much of an answer. Surely not the Chinese. There’s speculation, not confirmation that it’s Iran, mostly because there was an F-14 in the first trailer, and only Iran still flies those.

The Minions movie has been delayed so long that the merch for it is now clogging up Big Lots and other discount stores.

Who’s willing to go back and watch the episode of Fresh Prince that Chris Rock guest-starred on (or the episode of Martin that both Will Smith and Rock were on) for clues as to the true origin of this beef?
