It’s stunning enough to remember that at the time that episode aired, I was depressed enough that there would be another full year of Trump futzing around the political arena. I didn’t even consider that there would be four (or God forbid, eight) more years after that.

I mean, she had a Lifetime reality show called “Roseanne’s Nuts”.

Read “Paul Schrader” and thought “Paul Scheer” at first, which made me very sad.

No . . . the joke is on us. The joke has always been on us.

But . . . I thought everyone was “shocked” and “appalled”?

At the reception afterward, probably.

I think we need to draw a line between the two types of bad Rick and Morty fans. There are the ones who harass people and send people death threats and so forth, which I like to think those of us around here wouldn’t run into very often, since those kinds of people tend to congregate around the cesspools from which…

I don’t know if I could put them in a particular order, but:

Club Foot - Kasabian
Lady- Modjo
Cult of Personality - Living Colour
Jeremy - Pearl Jam
Pick Up the Phone - Notwist

And even though they’re all probably pretty cringey now, I have a special place in my heart for Green Day’s videos from American Idiot, specifically…

That gas-mask imagery in the thumbnail legit gives me chills. I’m in.

Do you consider “rerunning Star Wars trilogies with each movie in four-hour blocks to smash in 90 minutes worth of commercials” as “drawing in high profile respected actors”?

One word for you: Rihanna.

I won’t drop the link here but Politico is reporting on Republicans working to craft some kind of joint tax reform and ACA repeal next session after tinkering with the reconciliation rules. Which, by Politico’s estimation, means that the bill would hit sometime in the middle of midterm season next year.

If the…

Yeah, it would only be a reboot if the studio made some kind of B-grade schlocky 80s movie cinematic universe, where the Flatliners crew has to team up with the vampire-hunting kids from a remade Lost Boys to help 2019's Kevin Bacon replacement kill Graboids from a Tremors remake.

Depressingly familiar for people in the video game ambit. Basically every video game that isn’t to these assholes’ specification (whether the problem is story, gameplay, or completely independent of both) gets branded as a victim of “female writers” or “SJW mentality”. Women get identified and harassed right off the…

It’s funny how in the header image, Ron Howard looks like a weathered, badass elder statesman of entertainment, and then in the second image he looks like someone snapped a picture of their goofy dad at a baseball game without giving said dad a heads-up.

It seems so strange that they wouldn’t have some sort of provision in his contract that he has to make X number of movies for them over time. I don’t get it: they pay him for the possibility that he might make a movie for them?

The gritty, down-to-earth version of KJ-52 that the world was clamoring for!

They did have that “That’s my Bush!” show. It was a thing that existed, and probably belongs in a time capsule right now.

And I’d say that as far as their politics go, they made a conscious effort to go in the direction of mocking people who care about things. That’s the South Park throughline. If you care about global…

I just saw it earlier this year so I like to think I’m a little hype-resistant. I enjoyed it very much and I can see why people liked it. I definitely don’t think it’s a brilliant treatise on the human condition like some people do, though. It takes the Coen Brothers’ form and makes a great comedy out of it, in the…
