In the immortal words of Don Draper, ‘that’s what the money’s for!’.

Man I’m torn on this one. I work in the industry, I know how awful the hours can be. Even during this pandemic, I’ve continued to work full hours from the office, coordinating all the various edits my company is overseeing, and getting file assets to all the editors working remotely. And then I go home and I work…

If anyone is interested in GOOD Scooby stuff, Netflix not only has Zombie Island, but the absolute best piece of Scooby media, Mystery Incorporated. The show that takes as a given that

I didn’t even need to listen. I could have told anyone: The Criterion Channel.

Everything else is the equivalent of the low priced dvd bin. You might find a classic but you still have to dig through a lot of crap.

I’m not listening to any pointless yacking when the contributors could have just, you know, written their thoughts down.

Heidi calling out that critique on Untucked has me gagging. “Either I put myself in it and you say it’s too much me. Or if I don’t, then I’m not showing personality.” It’s a meaningless critique with nothing truly actionable on it and that could easily go the other way without suggestions

“Reading,” most definitely. But they actually haven’t done the “Puppets” mini challenge in several seasons now, so I wouldn’t count on it reappearing. 

Yes to everything you wrote. Jan and Heidi deserved better.

So they are doing a Shuga out of Jan and a Vanjie out of Heidi. Look, I have a lot of fun with this program and I thank the exposition for blah blah blah really f the producers for taking a bunch of queens and basically destroying what is unique about them. They are making a normative queen out of Crystal, they are…

I’m sorry, but Jan deserved that win. And seeing some of y’all saying she doesn’t have the star power.. Honey, no! We don’t do that here. We don’t put a queen down. She doesn’t have what Gigi has, agreed. And that is amazing! That makes her her own kinda star. Can’t we just live for this a minute? Aren’t you glad that…

Gigi is fun but slow your roll. Alaska will skin her alive before it ever gets close to that point.

“Not Madonna enough" is such a meaningless critique, and then in Untucked you had the queens tying themselves into knots trying to justify that given Crystal was rewarded for being Crystal. They aren't even trying to hide the rigga morris anymore.

Similarly frustrating is Ru’s decision to give the win to Gigi over Jan. Gigi is a sickening, incredibly talented queen, but Jan won this one and if Ru won’t recognize her here, she’s unlikely to get a win all season.

Look, I get it: Gigi Goode is a Star. She’s going to win the season and there’s nothing us mortals can do about it. But holy shit in a season this strong they couldn’t spread the love a LITTLE and given it to Jan or Crystal? I’m glad it wasn’t Sherry winning her third challenge (though that’s presumably on the way)…

It’s a desperation move usually when you’re not really pulling in that much per pageview so you just try to goose up the pageview volume. So in my guess it probably is moving the needle, but the fact that it is is a bad sign for the long term health of the site.

I mean they’re covering Quibi because it’s the newest streaming service with some big names and some gimmicks, that’s not that crazy. The slideshow thing is insane though.

I know, this is part of how websites survive in the CPM Hustle, attention-economy, viral nonsense, but it’s a bridge too far, guys. I might be more forgiving if you put discussion space on each entry. Maybe.

The answer to all three is

What? An AV Club reviewer made an error of fact in a description of a film?
