The Baldies terrified me as a child. The real gang they were based on, the Fordham Baldies, were really terrifying. I love seeing Alexander’s department store at Fordham Road and the Grand Concourse.

Kathleen would have probably roasted him until he put it away.

Spector may have been a card-carrying psychopath but dismissing the Wall of Sound is dismissing a big chunk of late 20th century popular music, much of it very much worth engaging. I don’t think Lennon needed to stick with him (George also kicked Spector to the curb around this time because he was just impossible to…

If you went into a movie called Permanent Midnight expecting a lighthearted romp, I think that’s on you.

Sorry, Hootie, but I’m not gonna love him the best that, the best that I can. 

Honestly “Julie Cypher” is a much cooler rock-star name.

Is this that surprising? I know he wasn’t exactly Mr. Universe, but dude was a famous rock star. Even for rock stars he was particularly known for living with several women at once (and writing songs about it the Byrds were too embarrassed to sing, but Grace Slick wasn’t) and getting dumped by Joni Mitchell for…

I’ve never cared for Cowboy Costner, but I’m always game for Baseball Costner.

Who can forget the enormous power Rosemary Clooney wielded in 1980's Hollywood when George Clooney got his start? Studio executives cowered in fear that she might sic Danny Kaye on them.

I remember watching as a kid and finding something indefinably different about how the drag aspect was entirely incidental, and the female characters were fully developed beyond “Look, it’s a guy in a dress.”

I’m sure of its quality; as a writer and director she bats almost exclusively in the 80s and 90s on Rotten Tomatoes (an imperfect, but fairly accurate barometer). Friends with Money, Walking & Talking, Lovely and Amazing — each one is a banger, a masterpiece of funny, awkward and often harsh social structures. No one…

The Kids in the Hall was pretty revolutionary TV in general for me, personally, when it came to both representation and addressing LGBT+ issues head on. I have two moms, and growing up having a show like KITH was a godsend.

I love But I’m a Cheerleader so much.

Is Midnight Cowboy too old timey?

You Hurt My Feelings was great. 

Give me JLD in an action comedy. 

I’m surprised Samantha’s cancer wasn’t mentioned. Or Miranda’s pregnancy and her decision.
