Listening to the Audible Sandman last summer was one of the (rare) pandemic highlights for me. It was perfect for lonely evening/twilight walks, and the atmosphere carried in spades during my mostly deserted routes - no one was going out at all at night for quite a few months.

Yeah, he was cast perfectly. I daresay his actor was better than any of the main cast, who are plenty good themselves.

I follow a bunch of sport journalists for news/pontificating, and I’ve been turned against Lasso forever due to just how much they shout Lasso’s praises. It is basically 2020's Bruce Springsteen to them.

Am I missing something, or did the all-winners mega matchup of Survivor somehow not get a reality nomination? Or was that last year and I’m pandemic brained?

Yeah that was funny to see. Basically, Lovecraft Country was supposed to continue as a running series, and Mare was designed as a straight one-off. But the former got axed, and the latter has been hinted heavily as coming back down the road at some point, ha.

This is awful, next thing you know we won’t be able to mock gagh or Rokeg blood pie. 

Pretty excellent movie that was a treat to see in the theatres back in my college years. Has some stunning shots that add as much to the experience as Costner having a revival. I wish Duvall had garnered a nomination.

That one blew me away. Maybe we're supposed to feel ripped off because it isn't cocoa powder? I enjoy hot chocolates from coffee shops on a brisk day, their ability to heat the milk to a T is a nice luxury.

Shit I cannot star, 69 is perfect for this comment. +1?

Yeah, that’s a straight 3/3 hitrate on the casting there. Nice to see Hector get a chance to go deep again in a part after some enjoyable but breezy seasons on Bosch (though I did like parts of the storyline working in his Haitian heritage).

Grew up in a small Wisconsin country town. Every June, in celebration of dairy month (WI!), the local farmer co-op would install a milk vending machine for their customers to fill a free dixie cup of chocolate or 2%. It looked like one of those dispensers you’d spot at a 50's style diner and kept the milk barely above…

This is like all the AEW smarks getting mad at me for missing references by not knowing every little detail from a weekly year-old BTE episode. Yes those animated movies exist but they are a tiny portion of what people have seen or can ably reference. 

I liked Fisher’s character and the arc in it 5000% more than the theater version, but it still isn’t anything I would have wanted to see a follow-up movie or series about. But it’s not hard to imagine a Disney+ style miniseries starring this Cyborg getting the green light if all the other crap hadn’t occurred.

Jeez, I was really let down by St. Vincent, especially so on her first piece. Theater was great. But if you’re a guitar god, be that god! Hope that’s not a trend for the rest of her new work. Reminds me of SK shrugging off the driving power of a certain world-class drummer..

That monologue was one of the most enjoyable and memorable ones in recent years for the sheer charisma that he brought to it. I wish the cast and writers had been able to rise up to meet his energy, could have been a great show.

Definitely hard to find with national brands. Skinny Pop (hate that name) used to have a pretty good one with just black peppercorn, but as they expanded they added salt to appease the masses. Keep an eye out for Tostitos Lightly Salted, that’s got a very low salt level compared to the general stuff out there. I’d…

On the contrary, the fact that Rogan and David Foley are still strong friends despite being wildly different people gives me some little hope.
