oh hey, looks like some interactvie shenanigans are afoot in the world of #Paradise paradiseradio.hulu.com

This Jackpot sucks

Let’s gooooo www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA5N...

God-tier episode of #Industry tonight

“…let us sit upon the ground And tell rad stories of the arrest of princes”

It doesn't seem to occur to anybody, liberal or conservative, that the founders--and many of the rest of the important historical leaders--were as full of shit as any of the rest of us.

Okay, I need someone to find out if it’s Mickey or Konrad who’s the Mets fan #Industry

The undisputed, all-time greatest adaptation of Wuthering Heights m.youtube.com/watch?v=kqiU...

One day I’m actually gonna make that podcast doc about playing The Beast, I swear

Well this sent me on a nostalgia trip #TheBeast www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-RZ...

One of my favorite things about when Game of Thrones was airing, was the way book readers went the extra mile to keep from discussing spoilers online. Sad to see that Knight of the Seven Kingdoms isn’t getting the same treatment

Whever I see a trailer for a new Boots Riley movie, I think of what Alan Arkin said in Glengarry Glen Ross

I think the whole entire Marvel cinematic universe michegas might have been worth it just for Trevor Slattery

“Instead of me, he promotes Ann Lee, Names her second-in-command. ‘I’m a testament, whee!!’”

Feeling very Vir Cotto this evening www.youtube.com/watch?v=25_5...

When you’re neurodivergent, every interaction has the potential to be an episode of The Traitors

Sinners was my favorite movie of the year. Thrilled for all its nominations - especially Delroy Lindo. But I could easily see a scenario where it wins only 1 or 2 of its 16 nominations, so I’m reminding myself that really, a nomination IS a win.

"This better not be some kind of Freddy joke"

Here we go. I wrote it. jenka.substack.com/p/heated-riv...

Nia DaCosta just knocked this out of the park.

Wow. Bone Temple. Wow. I think this is what everyone’s expecting 28 Years Later to be in EVERY sense. You DO need to see 28 Years Later. Luckily that’s on Netflix. Think of it as “Part I.” This movie is incredible.

Back on my bullshit. www.noproscenium.com/always-in-mo...

Well, okay then #TheDaimyoOfQueens

I wanna like Starfleet Academy. I really do. And there’s a lot to like about the performances. But the first two episodes are filled with some bizarre storytelling that defy, um, logic

If the Mets pivot to Bichette, I will never, ever stop making this joke

Y’all ain’t ready for The Bone Temple

I’m gonna need The Ringer to create a fictional podcast in the Heated Rivalry world

“What do you want, you moon-faced assassin of joy?”

Starting a Babylon 5 rewatch. Remember, if you go to Z’ha’dum, bring a jacket.

We have completed our rewatch of S1-3 of Industry. So hyped for S4 on Sunday

I’m about 3/4s of the way (I think, hard to tell with an ebook) through The Power Broker. I love it when I finally get around to engaging with a work that has an outsized reputation and it turns out to be totally and completely deserved.

All Loose-Fish.

As we do every year, we celebrate New Years on Newfoundland time, which is 7:30pm Pacific

2025 was...a lot. Rather than do a recap of the year, I’ll just remember the wise words of Satchel Paige, who said: “Don’t look back. Something might be gaining on you."

Went to a screening of The Apartment last night which: 1) remains a banger, 2) is a wonderful companion piece to a Mad Men rewatch (seriously, imagine swapping CC Baxter and Pete Campbell), and 3) is an amazing snapshot of how screen acting styles radically changed in the late 50s/early 60s

“I'll take any motherfucker's money if he givin' it away!”

We're #4! We're #4! 🎉 😆 www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-r...

Happy Loxing Day!!

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, but some years later- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in his purse, and nothing particular to interest him on shore, he thought he would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.

Meme of the year

Our rewatch of Mad Men just reached the Dr. Lyle Evans moment! which resulted in my anonymous appearance in Vanity Fair and adopting the phrase “enterprising fabulist” www.vanityfair.com/culture/2010...

Tired: Medical tent Wired: Medical frigate

A) fantastic B) I’m encouraged by how they’ve launched this at the end of the season. What are the odds that it extends after the end of the season, or even bridges the gap with season 2?

When I was in college in DC, I it was the tail end of the “Meese Is A Pig” poster campaign. Bring this up now for no reason at all

“C’mon, mime is money!”

Rewatching The American President, which remains magnificent. Everyone is great in it, but it may actually be my favorite Michael J. Fox performance

We’re never gonna find out who invented liquid soap and why
