Well, if we want to compare brother teams who direct high-budget genre content, the Duffer Brothers have managed to create a burgeoning media empire thanks to one show that everyone watches on their cellphones. And each new season of Stranger Things is definitely treated as an event, as the last month or so of pop…

Part of the reason it did was because HBO Max was starved for original content, so they ended up giving the show a second season before season 1 had even aired (but after the completed season 1 had sat on a shelf for years.)

If we don’t develop anything, then nothing we develop can get cancelled!

Discovery’s fortune was made on cheap, shitty reality shows, so they don’t seem to understand that maybe people don’t tune into HBO Max or Adult Swim to watch stuff like World’s Biggest Wedding Cake Fails or Flip My Smelly House.

Dave was so taken aback by how much things had changed. He started wondering whatever happened to predictability.

The age range is uncomfortably big but 18 year olds are not goddamn children. Can people on the internet please stop doing this thing where they declare everyone they dislike to be a pedophile? All it does is cheapen a very serious crime.

I think it’s valuable to put this information out there because part of the reason that publishers get away with treating their authors so badly is because most people simply don’t know how grueling and health-destroying the manga artist schedule can be. When authors go on hiatus, jokes about them being lazy are…

If Archie Bunker were on TV in 2022, he’d come off as too subtle. Fox News has about three hours of Archie Bunkers ranting directly into the camera every weeknight.

This seemed like a really straightforward point to me. Maybe we’ve finally reached the point where “buzzword” is being used as a meaningless buzzword?

Nowhere did he say that any part of Blazing Saddles shouldn’t exist, just that parts of it hit different today. If anything, he’s making the point that an R-rated movie from 48 years ago is somehow more progressive than its own 2022 remake aimed at kids.

Disney Plus got a handful of nominations in the less hyped categories. Loki and Moon Knight got cinematography and production design nominations, one of the Star Wars Visions shorts got an Outstanding Short Animated Program nomination, and an episode of What If? was nominated for Outstanding Animated Program (it was…

People don’t forget that. We are all too aware of it every time we try to actually get insurance to pay for something. But in America, private insurance is what we’re stuck with. It sucks but it’s better than having no insurance at all.

Have fun being bored for 40 minutes and then having to pretend you enjoyed it for purposes of virtue signaling.

“Dave targets everyone equally”

Jesus Christ, look at you writing a whole manifesto that boils down to “free speech is doomed unless everyone stops criticizing the unfunny hatemonger.”

I’m sure it’s all part of his heroic plan to save free speech or some bullshit.

It’s really a shame how TV recaps/reviews have all but vanished from the AV Club. Some of the better ones made for reading that was almost as entertaining as the shows themselves.

I can’t wait until Netflix releases their next Chapelle “special” and it’s just smartphone footage of his speech to his local homeowners’ board. You know, the one where he threatened to move away if they built affordable housing for the poor.

“You are no different than the conservatives who had the likes of George Carlin put in jail”
