The fact that Radcliffe does weird, sometimes kind of fucked-up indie movies he finds interesting because he can afford to due to the financial safety cushion of his Potter money speaks nothing but well of him. Glad he’s doing something like the film the above image is from rather than “Christmas Prince” romcoms or…

On the same note, Radcliffe has been very open about substance abuse WHILE he was making the Potter movies. But, he’s absolutely well adjusted and sober now, of course.
I think this is further proof that Hogwarts is a truly excellent school.
It’s almost shocking how well-adjusted the adults the Harry Potter child stars grew up to be are, even beyond the “big 3" of Daniel, Emma and Rupert.
He and Tina Fey did the same kind of intervention with Lindsay Lohan several years back. So... inconsistent results, but I still give them credit for trying.
Mulaney was an addict long before he ever met Pete Davidson.
I agree - while Remedial Chaos Theory might be Community’s best episode, I think Season 2 has an incredible run of episodes that edge it out above Season 3 for me. (That said, 1-3 of Community is peak single-cam sitcom greatness). And I think Lost never beat season 1, when all the mysteries actually felt like they…
Moynihan and Kenan were pretty much interchangeable.
His “stiffness”, which I take as intentional, is part of what makes him hilarious to me. I swear that he gies me something to laugh at even in the deadest of sketches.
Also, not a gameshow host but: Reese De’WHAT. How can anyone not giggle at that.
Beck Bennett was the glue guy, in the same mold that had previously been filled by Jason Sudeikis and now seems to be coalescing around either James Austin Johnson or maybe Andrew Dismukes. Sometimes the loony one in the skit, but most often the straight man reacting to what the christ is going on around him.
Cecily Strong’s Jeanine Pirro bit on WE where she drills Jost full in the face with a glass of wine over the shoulder from 10 feet away may be my favorite moment of the last 10 years. It was already so delightfully absurd but that stroke of luck (I bet she couldn’t do that again in 20 tries) put it over the top.
The authors are right about Samberg’s impact on how audiences interacted with SNL, and the Lonely Island digital shorts are all so delightfully unhinged that they stand up to some of the show’s all-time best filmed work. He wasn’t great in sketches but that’s not what he was really there for.
People complain about them a lot but I’ve rarely been disappointed in an Update segment of theirs.
Agree on Fallon but Samberg deserves his spot. I never thought Kyle Mooney was funny. I remember posting on one of the reviews years ago that I just don’t get him or his comedy. I never laughed at him. Agree on Hader.
I too would put Beck Bennett. Probably over Jimmy Fallon or yeah maybe over Moynihan. For a conventionally handsome guy, Beck really committed to the ridiculousness when he could have gotten by on his looks.
Will Forte should be higher and I’d fit Beck Bennett in there somewhere - I feel like in the last decade or so of SNL, he was the most underrated cast member. Get Moynihan outta there, maybe. Otherwise, pretty agreeable/predictable list.
Honestly, I don’t understand the value in the IP here. I love the classic movie and it still holds up really well. But that’s because it’s a really well crafted movie with great characters, good humor, and a solid mystery. You don’t need the Clue characters to do that. The Knives Out movies and The Afterparty prove…
The f - it -flam - flames. Flames, on the side of my face, breathing-breathl- heaving breaths. Heaving breaths... Heathing...
