If I did almost anything else two weeks before a deadline, I’d be a hero - but when it’s Christmas shopping suddenly I’m “last minute”? That’s nonsense.

It's December, which means it's time for my favorite post of the year (which will be updated all day), the cinema of 2025 as gags from 30 Rock. Starting with ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

Speaking of weird Canadian shows, I once had a show in development at CBC about an inter-dimensional unicorn who granted mundane wishes if you murdered someone.
