Oh neat, anything that gets the local AV Clubbers clutching their pearls has gotta be worth checking out!

I think the tripping is less accidental and more foreshadowing for Guillermo being Van Helsing reborn. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Gregor/Jeff comes back this episode.

I’ll take a mixed bag that is Fox X-Men over the milquetoast blandness of the MCU.

Logan single-handedly justifies every shitty film in that franchise and would never be made under the MCU.

Just checking in, is Danger Island worth catching up on or should I skip straight to this.

The initial escape was fine, it was when she gets her second miracle escape and then decides to stay, that the show basically turned June into Steve McQueen repeatedly yeeting herself in and out of Gilead on a fucking motorcycle. 

You’re letting the fact that a lot of these dudes are legitimately lowkey ugly and unfuckable, get in the way of all that dismissive snark.

I’ve gotta be honest, I respect Sufjan immensely but I struggle to care about his music whenever he goes electro.

Guillermo Del Toro made two incredible Hellboy fantasy movies that still hold up pretty damn well, but aren’t really good Hellboy adaptations.

Godzilla 2014: “Not enough Godzilla.”
Godzilla 2019: “Too much Godzilla.”

Can I just get a compare-and-contrast with regards to the first Pacific Rim? I’m more than okay with Michael Dougherty getting $200,000,000 just to blow it all on sick kaiju designs and outstanding sound effects.

Broad City was actually an example that popped into my head, but even that is too idealised and fantastical.

I think more so than some acting specific acting genius of Mitchell and Webb, the real success of the show is just how much the writing paints an incredibly relatable picture of your average neurotic British mindset and psychology.

The situations they find themselves in may be a lot more absurd, but almost anyone who…

It’s slightly less of a thrill for long-term fans of Star Wars as a whole, though, in so far as “The Old Republic”—i.e., the period roughly 4,000 years before the start of A New Hope—is a bizarrely unexciting setting, being almost indistinguishable from the world depicted in the prequel trilogy.

I called her a hack fraud because it was a really shitty question. Why don’t you call me an incel while you’re at it.

I will agree that the vast majority of the so-called culture war is literally manufactured and fueled by a bunch of algorithms peddling clickbait for maximum metrics, but the Russian angle is just a tiny bit much.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they were in on it a little bit for the sheer shitstirring lulz, but not by…

“Quentin, you have put Margot Robbie a very talented actress/actor in your film, she’s with Leonardo in Wolf Of Wall Street, I Tonya, this is...uhhh...you know person with a great deal of acting talent and yet you haven’t really give her many lines in the movie and I wonder, I guess that was a deliberate choice on…

Why do you think Tarantino owes this hack fraud reporter a nuanced diplomatic answer to what is very clearly a baited, loaded, bad faith question?

“You know I generally assumed Arya and the crew eventually perished on their way to WestWesteros as was canonically the case with basically anyone who has ever tried exploring that way, the joke here being that this was generally a bit of a weird direction to take her character in, both in terms of the overall arc as…

Was the previous season any good?

You know I generally assumed Arya immediately died on her way to WestWesteros, what with her completely nonexistent sailing experience.

That recent-ish Channel 4/Amazon Prime Phillip K Dick anthology series is a bit hit or miss, but absolutely superior to any episode of Peele’s Twilight Zone.
