“Baby It’s Cold Outside” is a sex assault song.

So you are saying you liked it

this is the most dire thing I’ve read on post-kinja avclub, which is quite an achievement. much like chemical warfare was an achievement.

What could be more timely than a June 2024 post resuscitating a niche cultural debate from 2015 about a 1949 Christmas song?

‘It’s a song about, as our Britt Hayes put it, “a woman being held hostage by some guy who may or may not have drugged her adult beverage.”’

Christ, isn’t a little early for the “Baby It’s Cold Outside” clickbait discourse machine to fire up again? Didn’t we settle this years ago, or has the COVID brain fog destroyed that part of our collective memory?

You can’t just pound on your keyboard and expect us to believe those are the names of real people.

Herzog asserted “I have to keep away from the comedians.” (Possibly, if we might theorize, because the man is aware of how easily his whole public persona could tip over into self-parody if he isn’t careful with it.)

I mean, Netflix killed his UNRECORDED NIGHT project due to covid and didn’t revive it. Maybe there’s some bad blood considering he prepared thirteen fucking scripts for it.

You think his anti-vax stance alone would be enough to keep a HEALTH CARE foundation from booking him. The filthy content is just lagniappe.

Really? She came up with a few striking shots?

Wow, Katie Rife! Welcome back!

ATTENTION EVERYONE: KATIE RIFE HAS RETURNED. Who says all good things must come to an end?

I’m just one self-aggrandizing white dude short of a bad movie!

Just bring back unaged Michael C. Hall in a bad wig, you cowards.

But it doesn’t tell us anything from the interview.  This article has no point of view or comment on the interview at all.  It is an incoherent rehash of the interview with no connectivity from one “point” to the next.

Count me among the readers who have no fucking idea what’s going on here. But I have to say, “claiming you were the dialect coach on The Departed, but only for the word ‘microprocessors’” is “Dr. Evil’s dad making outrageous claims like he invented the question mark”-levels of hilarious.

There’s no story here.

popular actress forced to withhold personality online due to maniacs, spins it as ‘be more thoughtful’.

Should ‘Finding Out’ be capitalized? I know the term if f*ck around and find out...but I can’t figure a reason why it would be capitalized. Is that normal with sayings and vernacular?

As for the story itself...there isn’t one. F*ck you, AV Club.
