Any thoughts from the CZ on Stranger Things? I haven't seen any of it, but it looks somewhat up my alley. My main wonder, seeing as how everybody describes it as "Early Spielberg meets Stephen King", is whether it leans more towards the former or the latter. I have reels of respect for Spielberg's first few films and…

This might be his chance to regain all of his former glory. I haven't been one tenth as hard on Colbert's Late Show as many others have been, but its undeniable that he's had to play things a lot safer on CBS than he did on CC, and he definitely lost something for that. Which sucks, because I was actually really…

Boom! I've been saying this for years! It's a movie about three fairies who are handed two dumb teenagers and told "If you don't get these two to make out, the world will end." They get more screentime, more development, more action, more everything than the two so-called romantic "Leads"; they're totally the main…

I'm hoping that in the movie proper, she has more than one facial expression.

Question: is your boss a woman? Because this becomes a very different story if that's not the case.

I just watched the eighth review of "Ghostbusters" that thought it was the only one with the balls to say "It was just kinda meh." Literally every review I've seen or read has described how "Everybody either loves or hates this movie, there's no room for middle ground, everybody's going to say I was either way too…

Discussion: Reddit. Surprisingly devoid of toxicity, and encouraging of intellectual consideration. Analysis: Overmental. Andrew Tran's "The Annotated Adventure Time" is everything Sava's reviews ever wanted to be and then some.

I was mainly dissappointed that Seven Psychopaths, in my opinion possibly the funniest movie of the 2010's, didn't make the cut.

Everything is clearer now/Life is just a dream, you know/It's never-ending/I'm ascending.

I finally caught up on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend! I don't know where I'll get my fix of "Pleasant mix between tragic, hilarious, relatable, hyper-stylized, and adorable" for the next few months. Also, I still can't stand Paula, but I'm willing to try.

I'm just gonna go ahead and pretend that "Seven Psychopaths" was on here and not get all worked up about it.

That would be Alia Shwakat, who voiced BP in "The Diary" and is most well known for playing Maeby in Arrested Development. Also, the turtle announcer was Reggie "Coolest motherfucker on planet earth" Watts.

Fantastic episode. Between this, "Summer Showers", and "The Diary", Jake's kids seem to be establishing themselves as the stars of very chill, comfortable episodes with just a hint of drama. I especially loved Jake's mirror fight with his 20-year-old self.

I always thought the language in the opening song suggested even stronger that the Unknown is essentially the land of the dead. "How the gentle wind beckons through the leaves" is very suggestive of death using old-school poetry conventions; the only way to make it more obvious would be if the line was "How the easy…

Holy shit, when did you get back, ZM?

Fucking what? That's insane. How do they expect me to handle that much concentrated emotion after growing accustomed to no more than 40 minutes every few months? Watching this show is the televisual equivalent of being waterboarded.

I'm assuming he did his while shrieking "So long, suckers!" and mooning parliament.

One of my favorite recent Honest Trailers gags consisted of showing some of those ludicrously overpowered tank blasting sprees, while the narrator cries "Woohoo! I'm a detective!"

Not food!

I love that store. It's the size of my living room, but has nicer books than Barnes & Nobel. I bought a beautiful copy of Blood Meridian there.
