It was a privilege to get to meet @thatbilloakley and @Joshstrangehill and tell them what their work has meant to me. They even signed my little picture!
ALT An image of Oakley & Weinstein from their appearance in The Simpsons episode "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show", sitting at a table in a writer's room, with overlaid text reading: "Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein comprise a dramaturgical dyad."
Jek-14 is a Force-sensitive clone trooper manufactured by Count Dooku with a wild Force arm from the Star Wars Lego materials, who was quasi-canonized in an episode of The Freemaker Adventures, which was quasi-canonized by a book written from the perspective of a B-1 Battle Droid
Me, when I finally get around to watching the original TOP GUN movie, expecting to hate it and end up low-key loving it:
I'm not sure there's a better example of positive masculinity on TV than Ben Sisko from DEEP SPACE NINE. He's a commanding wartime chief, not afraid to get tough when it counts, and a strong leader. But he's also a romantic, a caring father, and loves kids to pieces.
ICYMI, I joined Robbie and Matt of THE SIMPSONS SHOW PODCAST to talk about the episode guest starring Martin Landau, the merits of stage magic, and whether it's fair to judge the show's later years on a curve.

In the wake of LOWER DECKS' affectionate parody, I wrote about "Tuvix", the most infamous installment of STAR TREK: VOYAGER, and how the episode's legacy as an ethical dilemma obscures its poignancy as a human story. Would love it if you checked it out!

The only downside to watching DEEP SPACE NINE before work is that sometimes a really good episode unzips you, and then you still have to go pretend to be a person for the rest of the day.
I wrote about Christopher Nolan's OPPENHEIMER, and the two crucial sequences in the film that explain the character's change of heart and his tortured soul.
Proud of this one. Would love it if you read it!

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a singles champion in possession of a world title, must be in want of a body slam."
Watching now:
We've decided that the version of young Prince Charles on THE CROWN is part Dean Venture and part the kid from SNL's "Wells for Boys" sketch.
Part of me still thinks this is the greatest thing to ever come out of prowrestling. A daring deconstruction of the sport's greatest heroes. It wouldn't be possible without the visionary brilliance and creativity of Bray Wyatt. May his memory be a blessing
