Switching out Welfare Queen’s fur coat for Ruth-Zoya’s usual army surplus greatcoat and adding the cigar, were completely inspired moves. They’re just perfect shorthand for where Debbie takes her Zoya.

Marc Maron’s“What the fuck?!” at Zoya’s betrayal, which Sam has seen a thousand times, was hilarious.
I definitely thought Jenny’s British accent was on and off.
Honestly, I think this was the best season. I know it’s a wrestling show without that much wrestling, but it says things about making art that I’ve never seen on TV before and I find that really interesting.
Okay, I’ve been waiting for a chance to ask this. Where have I seen Jenny’s outfit before? That samurai vest and the headpiece? I know I’ve seen it before and I can’t come up with it.
I just remember the name from the idents, I never saw him in those shows himself, just that he became their mascot. What blew my mind was that I thought there were two cartoons with him, pre-’90's, but apparently there was only one, so I must have seen the ‘90's one and retroactively misfiled it in my brain as being…
Did anyone see what Justine’s screenplay was titled? I couldn’t make it out on my phone.
I’ve been racking my brain, trying to think of a hugely popular movie that could be described as a father/daughter western that will come out in ‘87 or ‘88, right after Sam lets Ruth read Paterfamilias.
I think there’s a real sweet spot for people who’d get that. In 1986, I’m not sure anyone but Chuck Jones knew he was called Michigan J Frog. I’d seen the cartoons a dozen times before he became the mascot for Animaniacs and Tiny Toons in the early ‘90's, and I just knew he was that frog who sang Hello, My Ragtime…
I keep thinking of this season as the one where the main focus is on the money people. Season One I always think of as the Director Season, where Sam had this vision of the flying woman in episode one, doodles her on a yellow pad somewhere in the middle, and finally gets the exact shot he wanted in the credits of the…
I think I see a point to it, though I might be projecting. I might be wrong, but I think “how do you make a frivolous comedy about women wrestlers when there’s so much awful crap happening every second of every day?” has been on this show’s mind for a while. And the answer seems to be, because it’s who you are, it’s…
I didn’t think anyone could get tired of the line “Everyone here is too much sissy,” but Sam convinced me.
“Hilariously, at one point Diesel suggested a points system for various kinds of attacks—2 points for a punch, 5 for a roundhouse kick, and so on—”
It’s on this basis that Jackie Chan rose past Bruce Lee in my rankings.
I can’t help wondering what Ben Edlund could have done with The Tick if he’d gotten this kind of money and support from Amazon.
A single frozen tear crystalizes on the severed head of Ub Iwerks.
“- Looks like Ruth and Debbie do some sort of body swap storyline.”
“What if I want to look friendly and fun, but then actually be edgy and goth so people assume I’m approachable and I shit all over them for it?”
L-L-LEOPOLD!!
Bugs Bunny savage AF. I almost want the characters to slow down just a scootch so I can enjoy the movements.
