Hollywood Handbook is definitely having a great year! This column was intended to feature only series that debuted in 2019, or so close to the end of 2018 that they might have missed their window for end-of-year coverage.
I honestly don’t get all the disparate about the image. Read more
Pitchfork also trashed Hozier’s new record, which while not as great as the first, is still a solid listen. They gave Migo’s Culture 2 a really good review if that’s any indication of who is writing that trash.
That Mountain Goats song is great. Read more
Please will you do an Westerosi Idol bit where we can vote on A.V. Club staffers singing ‘Rains of Castamere’ or ‘Jenny’s Song’. Read more
Very nice, yet again. I WISH GOT would end like Star Wars! I did get the sense that having others essentially vouch for Tyrion to Dany has got him off her shit list. Sansa pointing out that Dany should have picked up on Cersei’s lies herself also seemed to get to her...I think she’s gonna give him a mulligan for this… Read more
I always get accused of being a monster who grades way too harshly, so I’d like to thank you for this charge of inflation, Hal.
I love them all. Thank you for sharing.
Just want to quickly say Thanks Kayla!! for another season of reviews. I appreciate that comment numbers (much like viewing figures) have fallen greatly since the show’s season 1 heyday. But thanks for sticking in there. Read more
Thank you, I really needed this today.
Never heard of Phoebe Bridgers, but starting a playlist with a song like Motion Sickness has completely hooked me.
I’ll just come out and say it - I have Spotify but have no idea how I would use it to get to this list, or if I even can. Read more
This list is the actual best, especially since Hurray For The Riff Raff is on it.
My wife told me the other day that one of the first things that attracted her to me was that my voice reminded her of Randy Travis. It’s one of the nicest things she’s ever said.
Great stuff! This is my favorite decade of country (I guess 1987ish to 1999ish). Man, that Deana Carter album was huge, and was loaded with great singles. And “There’s Your Trouble”? That is just a straight-up bad ass song. Read more
An F! A glorious F! It’s a Christmas miracle! Thank you, St. Ignatiy! Thank you for the amount and depth of film and literary history to a pan of economics-driven filmic shovelware! I didn’t expect to learn about the provenance of Sherlock Holmes adaptations and original texts.
I don’t think it’s really substantive enough to make more of an impact, but I really did enjoy it. But I forgot a couple of shows that probably would have bumped it, to be honest. And the big issue in terms of coverage is that Netflix simply releases too much television, and the local language programs are often the… Read more
Sympathy is not a zero sum game. You can feel sympathy for someone who has suffered one kind of trauma and also feel sympathy for someone else who has suffered a different kind of trauma. Read more
The idea that content notices is preventing a generation of milk babies from being the hard-nosed commandos this world demands is the crustiest old Andy Rooney bullshit I’ve heard in a long while.
I hope you never experience something requiring those trigger warnings. Fucking grow some empathy.
