As was mentioned in the article, Vice is a good primer and jumping-on point for issues - a lot of which don't get coverage in mainstream press (at least in North America), but yeah, it's far, *far* from a complete picture of what's going on.

I've haven't really noticed much of a difference between the two shows (now, The Layover, on the other hand, was entertaining, but definitely nothing above and beyond the standard foodie/travelogue show).
Regardless, I respect that he uses the basic foodie/travelogue structure of the show as a jumping off point to…

I'd also add, that I've seen many of his America-based episodes where he highlights people who are raising animals ethically and humanely.

I definitely enjoyed Kitchen Confidential.
Anyone know if his fiction, like Bone in the Throat, is worth reading?

Correction:
"How DARE this person have a different opinion than me!" -Everyone on the internet.

Or just pour him a tall glass of water infused with Naegleria Fowleri.

Don't you get it? Dr. Moreau used to be a man, and now Dr. Moreau is a lady!
Fresh! New! Progressive!

It's really just an estate in Maine (or wherever it's cheapest to film).
You see, the 'island' is a metaphor for how Dr. Moreau has isolated herself from everyone around her, and it will take the love of a handsome stranger to help her reconnect to those people, and more importantly, to herself.

I'm still hoping they surprise us all, and the plane in the mini-series is actually an old-timey auto-gyro, and the new character is a steampunk enthusiast.

He's not even into his second *week*, let alone out of his first month on the show, so I'm still hoping that Stephen is playing a long game.
Tone things way down at the beginning, get the confidence from the CBS executives, build up a following, build up his value for the network, and *then* start bringing in more of…

you can tell it's his because it's greasy and stained with self-tanner.

True, but they *could* have edited the more fluffy "aww shucks" parts of Jeb's interview out in favor of the exchange on gun control.
Less "what's the deal with the exclamation mark at the end of your name?" and more "what's the deal with gun control"

I definitely enjoy Colbert having a chance to drop the persona and be himself (and he certainly seems to be enjoying it), and from interviews I've read, I can empathize with him feeling burnt out about having to be all-political-satire-all-the-time on The Report,

As the media keeps ignoring Bernie… or at least acting like "Awww, isn't that cute. Grandpa is running for president!" with a definite underscore of "It's nice that people seem to like him, but he's not, you know, *actually* a viable candidate. Let's see what future-candidate Hilary is up to (despite people being…

I don't think it's a matter of whether Colbert is capable of calling people on their bullshit, so much as 'would CBS allow him to?'

or the countless reboots of characters like spider-man, batman, superman that seem to think they need to explain to the audience the backstory for 2/3 of the first movie's run-time.

While I was watching Narcos, I noticed the use of v.o. kind of petering out over the episodes.
I didn't think much of it as far as being part of some larger thematic choice at the time, more, I just thought that it was a way to help ease strictly English-speaking viewers into the show.

Yeah, I'll definitely second that recommendation.

I suppose ignorant bigotry could be thought of as a mental illness.

Could we specify that on the JV martyrdom team?
