Jay and Silent Bob's entire storyline is slapstick.

Well, your problem there is all expectations. Mallrats is and always has been a stoner comedy. It has some clever dialogue but mostly it's just a slapstick comedy. And for me, it definitely still is effective. But if you go into it expecting an intelligent subversive masterpiece, of course you will be disappointed. But that isn't the movie's fault, that's expectations.

Thanks for the spoiler....

Shirley Bennett : [about Nicholas Cage] Maybe he's just good in good movies and then acts crazy in crap to make drug money.

Abed Nadir : But is he good, or is he bad? Every actor is something. Robert Downey Jr., good, Jim Belushi, bad. Van Damme, the good kind of bad, Johnny Depp, the bad kind of good. There's a spectrum, and Cage is on it.

Not a favorite of mine.

Oh wow, Beer Fest in particular is one of their best!

Eh, it's better than Puddle Cruiser for sure. And while it's debatable, I personally prefer Slammin Salmon to Club Dread. Super Troopers 2 wasn't bad in my opinion. It wasn't near as good as the original, but it was decent.

No, it's the same continuity as the original Rocky.

I love that movie! "WHATEVER MOTHER FUCKER!"

Broken Lizard has made some fantastic movies, with Super Troopers and Beer fest being the most well known ones, but this one always slips through the cracks.

Glad to see that they've been more active lately. Heffernan and Lemme's show Tacoma FD has been great and the whole group just finished filming a new movie.

For Dramas, Breaking Bad. For comedies, Community.

They haven't missed a beat, felt just like the original show. The chemistry, the pacing, the dialogue, etc. It was great and I laughed my ass off. Especially the reveal at the end, that was fantastic. So glad it's back!

Hopefully it does well and they can do more seasons (and get Lizzy Caplan back).

Oh damn, thanks for the heads up!

It's quite good. I only have Peacock because I get it free through my cable provider. I've watched a few shows on there but most of their original content hasn't looked great so far. This one is one I was excited for and really like it so far. Classic mystery of the week show with really good directing and Natasha Lyonne is so likeable.

You can, but it's going to make it a lot better if you just watch That 70's Show first

I forgot to mention that one, people who found out Jermaine Clement is less involved and now perceive the show worse.

I remember some people saying this while it was airing, I rewatched the first 3 seasons before Season 4 aired and season 3 was just as good as the first two seasons. Maybe expectations were too high after Jackie Daytona, maybe some people just don't like new things, who knows. But go rewatch Season 3, it's great.

I don't know much about that, but the answer is always separate the art from the artist. I watch the show because it's funny, but I don't take it too seriously. I had to leave the rick and morty subreddit years ago because of how insufferable the fanbase is and I've enjoyed the show much more being away from it.

Plus, Initially I found the show because I liked Dan Harmon's other show Community. He was the draw for me, not Justin.

I disagree. It's just as hard to write something that has a beginning, middle, and end. Probably even more difficult than writing something that you don't have to write a final end.

A season of TV still does have to have an ending. A miniseries is just a definitive ending. A season of a running show has the luxury of not having to figure out how to end it right away.

The ending is what makes something impressive overall. Something like Dexter, that had great seasons, has been taken down a few notches because of its bad seasons and bad ending. Even Game of Thrones, which was generally considered still very good going into the final season botched the ending and has lessened its impact.

Something like Better Call Saul will have longevity because it ended well. It's great seasons will live on because it ended well.

A miniseries has to consistently hold that same quality for all episodes while also including the payoff of a satisfying ending.

Something like Severance could shit the bed with a season 2 if they don't have it planned out (I don't think it will, just using a recent example). Like Heroes did back in the day. And even a miniseries could start with a great premise and pilot but just fizzle by the end of the series. So when a miniseries holds it the whole way and ends well, it's impressive.

Endings are hard. Leaving something open and not having to explain everything is a lot easier.

Carmy's monologue in Episode 8 of The Bear

Well, for one, my first rewatch was after I got back from a trip to Chicago so that added an element to it personally. But, the third was solely based off of wanted to watch it again. The second and third time I definitely caught more. It's such a fast paced show, you are bound to miss little details. But beyond that, I just love the characters, I love the story and the feel of it. It's funny, heartfelt, and personal. It's just a great show that definitely doesn't deteriorate on repeat viewings.

Better Call Saul for a returning series. The final season was impeccable. For a new series, The Bear. I've watched it three times now. I can't get enough of it. Something about it is just so addicting.

Fargo, Community, The Bear, Friday Night Lights

I think most of Zendaya's fame has come from other things than Spider-Man. She was already known for her music before the MJ role, then MJ made her more known to the general public, and I think things like Dune and especially Euphoria has propelled her. Euphoria is a lead role in a really popular series where her acting has been praised and she's an executive producer on the show too.

Letitia, at least for me personally, I only know her from Black Panther. And until recently, her role in Marvel was pretty small. She was a supporting character in the first movie and was barely in any others. BPWF is her first major starring role, so it may propel her now.

But she also had some controversy for her stance on vaccines in 2020, which has died down, rightfully so. But regardless of public opinion, Studios may not have wanted to work with her during that time because of the controversy. But, I think that will change after her performance in this movie.

At this point, I think it's up to how good of an agent Letitia has. If her agent can get her a big role outside of the MCU, then she may become more popular. I hope she does, she was great in BPWF.
