One wonders if/when they’re going to bring up the trist ol’ Kitey had back in the day with Also what gives with all the real people/celebs in this season? I don’t remember that being nearly as much of a thing before.

Two eps in to Little Demon, and it's... okay? It hasn't dug very deep for anything yet, but I'm willing to keep watching to see what it does.

I'll add in that despite Aubrey Plaza only running at about 30% capacity, she's still the best part of it.

Everyone is pretty unlikable so far. We really need some kind of hook, that really humanizes some of the characters.

Probably a little of that along with people loving The Wall so much that they wanted to recapture it.

I'm getting the feeling he ends up with really good ideas for jokes then can't figure out what to do with the characters after he's made his best jokes. He should make 2-3 season long shows and just keep switching off, or a show that changes every season with a new cast and concept.

I think the issue is that we are supposed to actually like some of the characters. If it fully embraced them being assholes, it'd work better. The jokes are also a bit weak.

It’s just the exact same style of humor as Rick & Morty but without any of the substance of Rick & Morty that makes it heartfelt or special, IMO. Great plot devices and the show looks great but it feels more like American Dad style writing than the superior Harmon voice of sad, lonely reason. I enjoyed the first two seasons of the SO but honestly couldn’t tell you the first thing about it besides The Wall, I can’t remember a single plot hook.

Speaking of new projects, Justin Roiland has a new animated special coming to Hulu in October. It is based on a failed pilot he made for Fox back in 2009. Titled The Paloni Show! Halloween Special! It will star Roiland, Zach Hadel and Pamela Adlon as a family putting together a homemade variety show which will showcase animated shorts from various people.

Just one segment, but good to know it's coming out so soon! I haven't been able to show anything since 2019.

solar opposites is fine, its rick and morty but without the promise of some kind of long plot to retroactively justify all the wacky bullshit the wall is the soap opera long plot, meanwhile the aliens all run for congress or turn each others heads into planets or whatever random nonsense. its fun dont worry about it, just have a good time watching silly cartoon. not everything has to be a commentary on life and meaning

Nothing wrong with a wake and bake Saturday morning cartoon, just lean into it. A lot of Adult Swim's catalog works well for this. Don't tell me Aqua TV Show Show had a plot worth discussing.

I wasn't comparing their quality I was comparing their genre of a show best enjoyed not caring about the overall plot and just enjoying the ride. Aqua Teen is very good at that.

S3E8 of Harley Quinn was good. Too bad it took more than half the season to become watchable. "I had a few weird years." "Rich people insurance doesn't have co-pays."

solar opposites somehow manages to have an even more loose and unrestrained idea of what technology can do than rick and morty does, which is pretty funny. i like that they not only treat tech like magic but go out of their way to have tech that openly defies the concept of being restricted or that the show needs to come up with anything resembling an explanation for it

I like Solar Opposites because it doesn’t have the heavy weight of Rick sitting in the middle of everything. R&M is fine, and I enjoy it too, but a lot circles around Rick, or his nihilistic presence can be a bit wearing.

My favorite thing about Solar Opposites is how often they'll just run with a dumb thing. Like how in the most recent season they decided that the aliens' last name was Opposites.

I couldn't get into Solar Opposites at all. Just didn't like any of the characters and all the jokes felt like stuff that didn't make it into Rick and Morty. Also the cursing felt very forced.

tiffany hadish (tuca in tuca & bertie) is apparently dealing with a lawsuit over inappropriate conduct with a 7 yo and 14 yo (it involves filming them for skits in ways they found uncomfortable or weren't adequately prepared for, something to that effect). apparently one of the skits (titled "through the eyes of a pedophile") was bad/gross enough that Funny or Die deleted it. she is claiming it's meritless and a shakedown. just something i saw in my feed.

Been reading about this. Either way it's a pretty bad look.  Edit: fyi, Haddish is also one of Tuca and Bertie's producers.

Got around to catching Pantheon’s first couple of episodes and it’s a pretty interesting ride out of the gate. There is a short story I don’t remember the name of about some grad student whose brain scan becomes basically a VM template for all simulated human consciousness in the future and the implications of that whole mess that seems to have been at least a partial inspiration for the story here. Seems promising. Das Boo, is that comic book cover in the first episode or is that coming up later?

She’s an awesome comic but it’s an open secret that she’s pretty much an alcoholic and shows up to work kinda drunk a lot, or at least she used to as of a couple years ago. Hopefully these things are not related.

Seems promising. Episode 4! I know the series is an adaptation of Ken Liu's work, though I admit I don't know which one the main draw is from. My brand of sci-fi is really specific, so it's rare I explore the genre on my own.

She is as confident and specific with her counsel as a spam e-mail, and she can be unnervingly persuasive—even when her advice is to drink poison. https://www.gq.com/story/tiffany-haddish-profile-2018
