    What is this spot? Yeah, that one right there.

    We gotta workshop that title.

    Nobody is going to say that first... word?

    I just watched the Great Indoors trailer and I feel bad because I love Joel McHale and want him to succeed, but I have no interest in a comedy with so much contempt for milennials

    I just roll my eyes as soon as anyone starts claiming that things were better back in the day

    I'd rather watch a more hopeful comedy

    Jokes about how millenials suck are the hackiest, laziest things

    "They're self-absorbed!" Like... All young people? Ever? In history?

    "They're too PC!" They have... too much regard for people's feelings? Doesn't that... Doesn't that contrast with your first thing?

    Basically any time your joke's premise is, "The youth are out of touch, and us older folks know the real score," you're writing the least interesting comedy in the universe.

    The joke there is typically on Schmidt, so that's fine

    Why is it so common for someone's second show to just go by their real first name for a title?

    I feel like this happens alot but when I was trying to think of other examples I blanked.

    Preacher had a good opening, but am I the only one that hopes a lot of the Ennis charm of sexual violence is left on the cutting room floor?

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Watching Preacher

    Super dig it so far, reminds me a lot of This is the End in terms of its sense of humor but less meta and also way more stylish

    Well I think we can skip obvious the Danny Glover joke but Im super inclined to like this if they nail Rigs

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    In like episode 6 of Lady Dynamite, there's an apparent call out to a movie that a friend of my current roommate has being filming for what feels like years now. It's such a specific and odd reference I can't imagine it being anything but a call out to that project. It was weird to see.

    Finished up the pilot of Preacher

    I am not a fan of the comic, but boy did I really like that

    Super stylish, very unique, had a pretty great sense of humor and got oddly sweet at times

    Definitely on board for the rest of this season

    If you like kinda grindhouse style stuff or This is the End I would recommend checking it out

    Glad they got this worked out, adding her back into the mix added a lot to season two

    I struggled to remember the difference between her and the other brunette lady in the show as well. Like, all the ladies who weren't either blonde or redhead were just interchangeable to me.

    I felt really bad for Babineaux. Those two had great chemistry. Hope she comes back!

    bozzio was very good when she got to do stuff this season so I hope they work her back into the show, at some point

    I'm pretty sure the actress has some weird ironclad contract to appear on as many cw shows as possible, so I'm sure she's available

    I cannot believe that Acapulco H.E.A.T. was not an intentional comedy
