SPOILERS: I spoke with Ken Leung about Eric Tao's season of #Industry. one of the most incisive and thoughtful conversations about acting -- the craft, emotion, and body of it -- that I've ever had. "Like, Hamlet style." snagged my heart. @vulture.com:

Hey, I made you a kite gif, that's the agreed-upon (by me) rate for Making You Blog.
this one weird trick will let you make a talk show but not have to pay union rates
TV that will bum you the hell out as its characters make awful choices and succumb ever more fully to the financial and social forces that make them worse people? yes, please! the fourth season of INDUSTRY: I adore it.

Come for the discussion of a great movie, stay for the final question of the game I designed for my co-hosts, perhaps the most diabolical thing I've ever done 😈
I binge-capped the new Netflix series DEATH BY LIGHTNING for @vulture. Tremendously entertaining show about our American tradition of progress being undone by violent, fame-seeking dipshits. www.vulture.com/article/deat...
I teared up a little while editing this piece, and that was BEFORE I saw the ending in question. After seeing OBAA, I love it even more. (Also, apologies to Roxana for cutting her Andor references <3)
I love bobby
I LOVE BOBBY
(from me, about how much I love bobby)
Ugh, I'm so sorry to hear this, everything is terrible. Except you, you are great, and so I know you will land on your feet.
One of the first shows I ever recapped (back in, erm, 2007) came out of retirement, so I did too.
He loved this, thank you 💖
A request for help: my godfather has always loved jokes—telling them and hearing them—and as I’m going to visit him in hospice for maybe the last time, I want to bring him some good ones. His short term memory is shot, so looking for things that get to the punchline in 30 seconds or less. Thanks 💔
Emmys, you're two years late and a half-dozen additional nominations short, but I'll take it.
about forty minutes before the emmy nominations presentation this morning, my entire workplace lost their minds

I spent a lot of time, and had a lot of fun, putting together this elaborate / sprawling / galaxy-brained list of movies you should watch after this season of POKER FACE, inspired by cameos, references, and, of course, MICHAEL CLAYTON. at @vulture.com:

We don’t yet know whether ‘The Bear’ will continue, and it certainly could, but to echo Computer: Why keep going? Especially when season four’s ‘Goodbye’ makes for such a perfect series finale.
SQUID GAME is over, what was SQUID GAME? with very light S3 spoilers, I wrote about the show's contempt for us, its existential dilemma with itself, and why it probably should have only been a season long. @vulture.com:

What's the phrase I'm looking for... hmm... oh, right: HO YEAH!!
many reasons to recommend SIRENS -- only five episodes, glenn howerton playing dennis reynolds as a 1 percenter, an aviary full of owls -- but it's meghann fahy and milly alcock as brutally bickering sisters who bring it to life. I enjoyed! @vulture.com:

I could read literally one million words of Tony Gilroy being grouchy-proud about ANDOR.
Also good: Hershal listening while SWS fanboys out over his favorite show.
I rewatched the Gemstones finale last night after editing Roxana's excellent piece, and enjoyed it so much more this time around.
And we'll miss you 💔
Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people
Edi Patterson is a mad scientist and Judy Gemstone is her greatest creation

[removes “The Pitt is my entire personality now” hat, replaces with “Andor is my entire personality now” hat]
talked to Scott Gemmill about the end of The Pitt’s first season, and what’s coming up next
the world is trash, watch the pleasant TV show
