Setting teams aside, from a purely narrative standpoint, Iris is my favorite, especially in the anime. All of Ash’s companions have lofty goals which mostly seem perfunctory, but Iris was the first who actually went out there and accomplished hers. Seeing one of Ash’s gang come back as a league champion was great, and…

You sound like you’re just upset that the listicle isn’t called “Kyle Olson’s Personal Choices For Worst Sequels Of All Time Featuring An Inexplicable Attempt At Defending Jaws The Revenge.”

Christopher Lee had it all figured out. He just walked in there and started playing Bad Gandalf.

He didn’t understand Allen Quartermain? What’s not to get about “Indiana Jones But He’s Too Old?”

Considering how hugely complex the world-building gets later in the manga, and how the cast of characters grows into the hundreds, I have to wonder how they’ll be able to do the story justice with eight episodes per season.

That’s why from now on, they’ll be looking for magical objects in lakes. Consequentially the franchise is being renamed “Pirates of Minnesota and Also Parts of Canada.”

Buffett was far from perfect, but he was a lifelong Democrat and worked hard promoting the kind of environmentalist causes that the far right routinely mocks. Also, he was a major donor to Hillary Clinton’s campaign and held fundraisers for her.

Delaying Agatha by a whole year seems ridiculous, given that the show was greenlit entirely because of the unexpectedly huge public response to Wandavision, a series which is now nearly two years old. You’d think Disney would want to capitalize on it while a few people still remember the show it’s spun off from.

Companies need operating capital to start new projects, and depending on the project they might need a lot.

As a beloved capitalist job-creator, Willy Wonka should be allowed to drown as many fat children as he deems fit.

It stands or “More Ridiculousness Episodes”

A lot of comedies are more fun in the theater, but how many decent comedies actually get made these days? Barbie is the first high profile live action comedy in ages.

The stock price is high at WB right now because Barbie made a mountain of cash, but the people who made that all possible are on strike now, the summer movie season officially ends on Monday, and WB doesn’t have much else in the pipeline, as proven by the fact that they’re delaying theatrical releases of completed…

The publisher’s financial health took a particularly hard hit early this year when CEO Lars Wingefors revealed that a $2 billion deal the company had planned on suddenly fell through at the last minute.

It’s still one of the funniest sitcoms ever, but the show is very much a product of the Obama years. There’s a “yes we can” vibe to it that didn’t feel unusual back then but now feels...I don’t wanna say naive but...aspirational?

I love the way anime episode titles sound like something an old timey newsboy would be shouting on a street corner.

Honestly, it may get a second season based on one simple fact: It’s produced in South Africa, and as such is not subject to the current US actors/writers strike. With production on practically every other Netflix show shut down for God knows how long, One Piece might get renewed even if its ratings are below the usual…

Eh, WW84 wasn’t great, but at least I wasn’t completely sick of the main character two minutes in, which is more than I can say for Flash.
