The only good thing to come out of 'The Walking Dead: Dead City' is my epiphany at the end of this piece when I realize that Jeffrey Dean Morgan should immediately be cast in a 'Rockford Files' reboot. www.pajiba.com/tv_reviews/i...

Remarkably short-sighted of Kirkland & Ellis, Paul Weiss, Skadden Arps etc. If a company is being sued/prosecuted by the government, why on earth would they hire the firm that caved to the government? It’s like asking the kid who handed over his lunch money to the bully to defend you from the bully.

The reason that AI will never fully replace journalists is that readers will never get the same satisfaction from smugly telling a robot to "be better."

The nice thing about paying for my own movie tickets and ignoring screeners is that I don't have to listen to what publicists say. What are they going to do? Stop spamming me?

To the shock of nobody, the guy who bragged about eating testicles was a steroid-ravaged scammer. But it does make for a funny (and super gross) Netflix doc. My review is here.

It’s been bothering me all season: how will the show balance Abby’s narrative against Ellie’s? With two episodes left this season, it seems like it won’t… yet

I wrote about the series finale of THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES, how underneath all that vulgarity and wealth there was endless curiosity about the nature of forgiveness, and how the show's satire might have dulled but its hopefulness rose. I'll miss it! @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/righ...

This actually went up on Friday, but to the shock and surprise of everyone who knows me, my soft blogger skin was actually outdoors this weekend. True story, I saw a snake near a waterfall. Nature is trying to kill us. Anyway, yes, I’m doing “Andor” Season 2 recaps for Pajiba. Enjoy!

'The Pitt' is my favorite show in years, and the thing I look forward to watching most every week. And still, it's probably not quite as good as 'This Is Going to Hurt.' It's a couple of years old, but if you're looking to fill that 'The Pitt'-sized hole in your heart next week, it's tremendous.

I got to talk to Paul Giamatti for his upcoming 'Black Mirror' episode. This exchange, about getting mistaken for Larry the Cable Guy, is probably the hardest I've ever laughed while reading back an interview transcript. www.gq.com/story/paul-g...

Calling it a fight against anti-Semitism doesn’t make your fascism noble—it makes it more dangerous. You don’t protect American Jews by turning us into the face of thuggery. You just make us targets.

'Den of Thieves 2' probably lost money in its theatrical release, so why is it getting another sequel? The 'Wicked' box-office may help explain.

Thompson had a deep mistrust of institutions, but that didn’t make him gullible. He didn’t fall for bullshit; he tore it apart. Rogan, on the other hand, elevates it.
