Treme is my favorite of his shows besides The Wire. I think it helps that I have spent a LOT of time in New Orleans and so part of the appeal is just hanging out in that city that I love. 

Yeah I hadn’t been super familiar with him apart from knowing his name from his Tony nom but I’ve been following Amanda on Instagram through this whole thing since he was put in the coma and it’s just been so intense. Especially with a baby and a new house. This was a nice welcome bit of news yesterday and I hope it…

I just watched it recently and while I love the two main actors in it, it reminded me how much I really really really really hate Taika’s love of fat jokes.

Same. I understand that it makes the timeline a little more confusing but I feel like this gives a good look into the wide variety of personalities and viewpoints behind this movement than a straight up chronological series would have done. It’s such a large and complicated movement that affected so many people around…

It’s a lot harder when it’s a real-life person whose actions have affected your life as opposed to a fictional one, unfortunately. 

He did write a book about Lincoln in his later years which I know because he came to my college to speak and I got to meet him and have him sign my copy. I can’t remember exactly what we said to each other, should’ve written it down, but he was very sweet.

I really only cared for the first book, before they lived with the rich dude. I tried reading others but would ultimately reread the one where they were digging holes to keep their milk cold and shit. I loved that. Is it any wonder I live in the woods now 

I saw it at Sundance, it’s definitely very similar 

He really needs to stop showing up places 

So I guess I’m the only one who doesn’t cream their pants over Taika?

One of the hosts of Pop Culture Happy Hour said the same thing — that while they usually savor shows week to week they actually think this would be more effective as a streaming show all released at once and binge watched, so it doesn’t lose momentum and you don’t have a week to spend thinking about everything in…

While I agree that the show continues to underutilize Kelli and Tiffany and I would enjoy seeing them as more well rounded characters, I personally don’t give two shits about seeing Tiffany deliver her baby. How many labor and delivery scenes have we seen in movies and tv and how many ways can they possibly go? It’s…

Yeah that irked me. 

It’s more fun to hate women though! 

I have seen some on social media use “thot” to describe men, but the word “ho” is inherently a slur for females, and since that’s where it comes from it’s not wrong to call it an anti-woman term.

Totally agreed. 

Quality use of social media and how people use it when they’re bored/feeling disconnected 

I’ve never actually listened to Radiolab but I have listened to More Perfect and again that’s one that I’ve liked but had issues with and so I’ve realized Jad just isn’t my fave.

Why would you write something like “faxt”. That doesn’t even work. It’s “fax” which I know you didn’t want to use since it’s already it’s own word. Maybe just leave out the puns when they don’t work? Tom did it better

I wanted to like this podcast more than I did. I did really like the Dolitics episode and there were a few I enjoyed but there were so many things that frustrated me. In one episode Jad talks about how in one interview Dolly talked for a long time on her childhood and then after about 20 seconds fades her out and one…
