The Succession series finale on Sunday rocked a whole lot of boats and inspired a whole lot of memes and tweets , but it may not the only show that came to an end this week. It's being reported that the season finale of Apple TV+'s Ted Lasso may actually be a series finale. A lot of yuppies are gonna be upset about this, but if the rumors are true, it shouldn't really be a surprise. Jason Sudeikis previously said that season 3 would be "the end of this story we wanted to tell, while hinting at…

I AM A SURGEON

Historical Fiction is a wildly popular genre. Some movies and television series that fall under the umbrella strive for complete historical accuracy, others, like Bridgerton and D ownton Abbey occupy a historical alternative universe, which allows them to take some liberties where casting and even plotlines are concerned. The increasing popularity of these alternative timelines begs the question: Exactly how faithful do these programs really need to be when it comes to history? A recent Twitter…

Listen. I'm not proud of it, but I've watched every season of Bridgerton. I actually watched the first season twice. And while the series may seem better suited to repressed moms, my friends and I relished every single moment of sexual tension and every inch of Regé-Jean Page's glorious body. The second season of the sultry Shondaland period piece was released over a year ago, and fans have been buzzing with excitement over the prequel Shonda Rhimes developed about the prominently featured Quee…

If you’re a Batman fan, you’ve had no shortage of content to sink your nerdy little teeth into. Comics, television shows, innumerable movie reboots, video games, pretty much any other form of media you could imagine. An inescapable media franchise? Sure, that sounds like a nightmare for most people, but I have no qualms. We live in a society, after all. Yeah, the DC Universe isn’t top dog compared to the Marvel Cinematic Univers e, but it’s impossible to name a single MCU superhero with as much…

Anyone else here ever get into the show Killing Eve? It's got everything: assassins, murder, hot people, comedy, and lots of steamy sexual tension. The story is centered around Eve Polastri ( Sandra Oh ), an MI5 desk jockey who is very, very bored with her job, and thus, her life. Some missteps lead to Poastri joining MI6 as an undercover agent tasked with tracking an extremely hot female assassin by the name of Villanelle ( Jodie Comer) . Despite Eve's history of boredom, it's Villanelle that…

The last few months have been especially crazy for Marvel Superhero fans. Sure, with all the news, movies, and Disney Plus shows that are constantly dropping, you’d think fans would be used to crazy, but recent times have been crazy, crazy. Let’s start with the new Ant-Man movie. People really don't like it. There has been a barrage of negative reception with many complaining about the lackluster, humorless plot and the CGI being akin to those found in “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl,…

Writers can be so cruel

Did you guys know that movies and TV…are not real? Crazy, I know. It can be shocking and even harrowing to discover that screenwriters do not actually know the 411 on the industries they write about. Whether it be Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Chicago P.D., Law and Order, Law and Order SVU, or even Grey's Anatomy , I can practically guarantee you that none of the writers of those shows have ever been a cop, firefighter, or doctor. Because of this lack of industry overlap, there are countless discr…

I dare you, Warner Bros

The Roy family: Petty, dysfunctional, and an all-around joy to watch as they feud. This newest chapter of HBO’s Succession pulls no punches. If anything, it’s all the more brutal to watch in this week’s episode. In a family that is just slightly less functional than mine, the Roys exemplify everything wrong with their unit: Betrayal, separation, and a disdain for every family member outside their alliances. At this early season point, we see the Roy heirs ally together to essentially screw thei…

One of the most well-circulated old image macros is the Futurama Fry meme . In it, you see our buddy Fry squinting. The top line typically reads "Not sure if X," with "or just Y" as the bottom line, and is used to represent an internal monologue . It has always felt weird to me that this is the Futurama meme that stuck with people. In my honest opinion, Bender and Zoidberg have far more expressive stills and moments than this one from Fry. But alas, the meme makers of 2012 didn't ask for my opi…

It feels like a hundred years have passed since I first watched Mad Men, which, along with The Sopranos, seems to have altered the trajectory of television. I wasn't even 21 when the first episode aired, but it still made me want to swig whiskeys and martinis and chain smoke my way through the workday. The fact of the matter is that the behavior on the show, especially from Don Draper, is problematic. Because it is set in a different era, and I was really young when Mad Men first aired, it was…

THEY TOOK OUR JERBS!

I hate you, you hate me

Another Super Bowl has come and gone! If you are an Eagles fan, I send my condolences. If you are a Missouri person, congratulations! Luckily for us casual sports fans, this game was entertaining, and we were all at the edge of our seats until the end. All and all, there wasn't an abundance of memeable moments outside of the halftime show . As Memebase accurately predicted, the M&M spokescandies made an appearance and were not forever replaced by Maya Rudolph. We saw that Super Bowl commercial…
