Regarding feminism, the hamfisted episode 5 hashtag me too Weinstein plotline left a really sour taste in my mouth. I haven't seen any more yet, but a friend was worried that this show would "Jenji Kohen off a cliff" and there are worrying little signs of that.

I thought it was handled pretty well, especially Maron's reaction to it.

I guess they're just supposed to be some light comic relief, but they're really not that funny compared to Sheila or Bash.

In season 1 they were always getting stoned and partying so I think that's accurate. I liked them a lot more in S1, they really aren't that funny or even "there much" in S2. The Toxic Twin persona is really good though.

Yeah they definitely made the show-within-a-show as sorta-lame as the actual GLOW was and it's neat.

Only thing that disappointed me about the season was they went with the cliche thing with Marc getting mad about Ruth's video, I was hoping they'd flip the script and have him go "WHO DID THIS? WELL WHOEVER DID IT CAN DIRECT MORE SO I CAN DO MORE COKE!"

I wish this show were like, so wildly and insanely popular that they were able to make both the regular episodes of the comedy-drama GLOW and also entire whole episodes of the show-within-a-show GLOW.

Like I'm pretty sure most of the women on this show have already demonstrated more wrestling moves than most of the original GLOW cast ever did

If you think the WWE is a shitshow, the history of TNA makes for some great reading. It begins with a midget masturbating in a garbage can on camera for a promo and goes downhill from there.

A couple friends of mine were TNA wrestlers for a long time (Judas (Ricky Banderas) and X, though they changed their names several times) and the stories they told me make Vince McMahon sound like goddamn Ed McMahon.

Your friend totally rules on Lucha Underground.

I'll tell him you said so! I haven't seen him in years but we still keep in touch. FWIW, I actually did ask him about doing an A/T thread here and he said he's up for it when he's less busy.

Foley wrote two more autobiographies, but they aren't very good.

I loved Foley's first book about wrestling, and The Rock's (first?) book was also a good read.

But they're not very juicy as far as Inside Baseball type stuff. For that you wanna watch Beyond the Mat or any of a half dozen other docs out there.

The world of professional wrestling is wonderful and amazing and terrifying and awful and weird and I love it.
