I haven’t seen his special yet but I absolutely loved ‘Eighth Grade’ and thought it was one of the best movies of 2018. I hope he writes and directs more movies.

It actually released on Woden’s Day (Odin). I’m surprised they didn’t go with a Loki-Odin joke.

I think I’m done with this guy’s little blog posts. I’ll still come to AV club, asIve been doing almost daily for a decade, but this pompous ass has disappeared completely up himself. I’m going to stop giving him traffic. Anyone with a problem with this snarky, condescending nonsense should do the same.

I still read Iggy’s and Dowd’s film reviews, along with some of the regular and semi-regular features like Vago’s “Wiki Wormhole”, Siede’s “When Romance Met Comedy”, and Breihan’s “Popcorn Champs”, along with some of what Perkins does. But yeah, reading AVC has very much become a…
