I got the implication that the creepy old men were into Weird Stuff that the women couldn't reasonably expect to come with the territory.

"McConaughey es bueno… Senor Vaughn es el diablo."
"Pish-posh, McConaughey and I are peas in a pod! We both spent the first decade of the 2000s making bad comedies, but mine made money, dammit!"

It was nice of the federal government to loan out Charles Manson for an episode.

Variety (and therefore the AV Club) are totally missing the best part of the El Chapo parallel: that the book was published a month before it happened, and the character was already consciously based on Guzman.

"Oh my God! They killed Chilton!"

It can be two things.

I shall not attempt to further define Gornography today, but I know it when I see it.

Well, the official line on JFK on the right is now that he was a conservative who'd be horrified by modern-day Democrats.

Eh, he's pretty into the whole aristocrats-rule-us-all thing, they just pretend to be good ol' boys in his version.

The Tribbles would all be played by Duggars.
