It’s time for my longest-standing End of Year tradition: highlighting my favorite episodes of the year.
Film is an in-and-out trip, while TV stays in our lives for day-long bingethons, weeks, and years as seasons stretch on. Episodes are the smallest unit of TV, and at their best they tel...

Top Gun: Maverick's nostalgia isn't just a sweet treat for fans of the franchise. The nostalgia is the whole point, one that has something powerful to say.

Nathan Fielder's The Rehearsal on HBO is one of the greatest pieces of art I've seen on TV, because of the way it paints a portrait of social anxiety on multiple levels.

It's the PAW Patrol video. It's long.

Bit of a different update/newsletter this month. Because I took a short vacation at the beginning of the month and because I'm 100% locked into the PAW Patrol video, we haven't done the Q&A yet. In order to get back to the beginning of the month, I'm going to skip August ...
