Too bad it isn’t on FreeVee (what a dumb name). We could have had that Bosch crossover.

A shame - the movie is really fun pulp with a great cast and everyone knows exactly what kind of film they’re in. Great Sunday afternoon time-killer.
Isn’t the point of Lincoln Lawyer to be a vehicle for Matthew McConaughey
I’ve mentally created an expanded universe where Hacks, Barry, and The Other Two are all connected. And each one is delightful (and harrowing) in its own way.
Super pumped for this. Jean Smart is a treasure.
It absolutely is. For her (and everybody else) superheroes are commonplace, but she was thrilled to find out there were Egyptian superheroes. Also a nice nod to how representation matters.
While there were only a couple of references to the larger MCU (had to stop myself from saying Marvel Cinematic Universe universe), there is an Age of Ultron level of seeds planted within this season. There’s the name Duchamp from Marc’s flip phone, who is supposedly comics Marc’s Bucky, who flies a helicopter and…
I guess you missed the two separate Rama-Tut (Kang the Conquerer) references then? Read more
I think it really helped Moon Knight remain standalone by a) having literally no need to incorporate any existing MCU stuff (everything on Disney+ so far tied into an existing franchise/character, for example) and b) setting it in two locales not really used in the MCU so far (Sarf Lahndan and Egypt).

Great album front to back. Just reading this, I can hear the songs and melodies and guitars in my head. Time to turn it up. Great write up. Thanks!
This is my final feature for The A.V. Club. Thank you all for reading my music writing. It's been such a joy to give the music section the love it deserves.
Gonna miss you, Gwen. Best of luck on the next step!
Gosh, what timing—happens to be the exact episode I’m in the middle of watching! (I mostly only watch TV while I’m eating, so I ended up turning it off partway through last night because this episode is longer than normal.) I did not know Cassavetes and Falk were such good friends, so when I pick it back up again,… Read more
Great article about a great episode of a great show. Read more
Hey, as an active Latter-day Saint, thanks for at least trying to make the distinction between the “mainstream” Latter-day Saint group (not going by “Mormons” anymore) and the other communities within the Mormonism sphere. We’re in the middle of a kinda weird and esoteric branding shift (but don’t call it branding to… Read more
I can’t imagine that anyone who read the book was expecting this could fully live up to it. Sounds like everyone involved gives it a good effort, though, and I’ll definitely be checking it out. Read more
Enjoyed the show thoroughly (especially watching new episodes with my sister), but those daughters are just awful little brats who most of the time are straight up mean to their mom.
Loved the book and the first two episodes have my attention. I get the feeling that Bill is almost a stand in for Krakauer.
I think my favourite episode was the one when they did a dance routine at the end to cheer up the elder daughter whose dad had... missed her graduation or something I think. I watched the finale tonight and it was sweet and satisfying. Read more
What a brilliant finale. Loved Sam’s wink at the end. this show was so awesome. Read more
The show was a surprise hit with me. I really enjoyed the subtlety and humor. The entire cast was great and did a fantastic job--the three daughter characters were maddening in their generational and financial privilege and seemed completely real. Diedrich Bader was the best friend I want to have as well. Adlon is a… Read more
