Wow, this was unexpected. Thank you Gwen. I never took the television version of The Jack Benny Show as much, so wanna point out (as you already know) how Rochester getting the better of Jack was a near constant on the radio show for almost two decades; I did like the touch on the show that Rochester was frequently…

Mark Evanier wrote on his blog today that Friedman told the author that he was actively trying to get a job with Marvel, which also explains his Stan mania in that article.

There’s a pathological need for comic fans to have Stan as this genial “Geek Godfather” figure but no figure in comics had less interest in it than Stan, seeing it as a springboard to escape the medium. It’s also worth pointing out that Stan had twenty years before the Marvel Universe and his writing is uncreative and…

Please stop validating this banal individual. There’s activists and artists much more worthwhile of coverage than this nonsense, even on a pop culture website.

In 1979, writes a film where a middle aged man is dating an underaged teenage girl and never explains it and instead has his friends validating it and rationalizing it. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. 

I believe the ‘Secret Wars’ event the MCU’s next phase is building to won’t be a re-working of the comic of the same name (heroes vs villains) but more the various incarnations of the multiverse all coming together. 

How many people know that Monica was the *first* female Captain Marvel? In the late 1980s’, the white editor of Captain America insisted she be de-powered and removed from being the leader of the Avengers so that Captain America’s sales could go up. The writer at that time (and Monica’s creator) refused, so they fired…

Cap’s conclusion was so wonderful, this sounds terrible. Unless.... it’s an ‘Agent Carter plus Steve’ series set in the 1950s’ for Disney+ where Steve Rogers is supporting his wife! That’s the only/best way it could work.

No, you’re correct. I’ve worked in hotels for several years now. Whether it’s the Night Auditor or the General Manager or the lady who folds your blanket, no employee is ever to allow a guest to tackle any other guest- especially when it’s a child. Pandemic or not, his career in hospitality would generally be over for…

I always thought it’d be a better touch to have the FF start out in the 1960s’ MCU; in the post-credits scene they could somehow come into the present (via Hank Pym or something?!) and then that sets them up interacting with the modern MCU.

For me, the best vocal performance of “To Love Somebody” was from 2008 and I didn’t expect it: it’s Robin, already plagued with Cancer (though the audience doesn’t know this yet) and his manner of singing with his somewhat limited voice, the way he accentuates and bends the words with such emotion... wow. I find it…

Yeah I was so pleasantly surprised and even a bit humbled at my initial reaction to the announcement of this show to see how good it was done and how original the concept was. I do think they got a little carried away with their fan enthusiasm in Season 2 with everyone being a karate expert and it getting more and…

I don’t know. There’s that brief second at the end with a clean cut Johnny adjusting his dinner jacket. That could be nervousness at a high school reunion or something because she’s about to show up?

With aging, we need to consider that different people age differently due to lifestyle. Mayweather is well known for not taking much punishment in the ring and his lifelong teetotalism and abstaining from a lot of bad dietary habits has most likely slowed his aging down compared to an average person of the same age…

Mayweather had bet on himself and carried McGregor who was visibly looking at the clock. Mayweather could have easily taken him out much sooner. “Close” would mean McGregor was competitive and landing shots.

In Boxing we call them ‘Bums’ which is not meant to mean the general use, but as an acronym: “Big Uncoordinated Motherf**kers”- Paul can have a height advantage, it means absolutely nothing against a boxer who is actually quite skilled in the technical sense. Also, the age difference isn’t as telling in this sense for…

I think it’s subjective because I actually agree with him and I’m as far from Kurt Russell’s politics as you can get and I’m extremely anti-gun. That being said, I believe “celebrities” can certainly use their status and resources to affect positive change but yes, the pop culture obsession and media’s cultivating the…

I’m still genuinely amazed no one has covered the horrible and racist diminishing of the first female Captain Marvel in the nineteen eighties- Monica Rambeau, simply because the white male editors thought she was getting “too powerful” and wanted Captain America returned as leader in the Avengers title so that it…

Amazingly, one of his aides tweeted “bad ass!” in regards to The President leaving a bunker for his Bible photo op and he literally starts his rallies with the Village People’s “Macho Man”... and yet, this is a guy who ongoingly presents a narrative that other people are “weak” and he needs to “look strong” but…

Honestly, there’s been coverage on multiple sites for a while now. Blacknews, etc.- all Black-centric sites had coverage of him being wheeled into hospitals back in June, etc. It’s a shame that entertainment sites which weren’t Black-centric didn’t know or didn’t cover this and hence the massive shock now.
