The original version of TV Beat sketch that just aired. What just aired was poorer version of that. #SNL

From this performance I see that Role Model is looking for that: played in a montage at the end of Tv episode (ala Cold Case or Smallville) money.

Shame that doesn't really exist anymore. #SNL

Dracu-law and his 3 vampire babies.

I trust them to represent me. #SNL

John Wickham @johnwickham.bsky.social · 1d

Wasn't sure who Role Model was before this, but somehow I am shocked that a man with this many bad tattoos is a country singer from 2007.

He brought a random Charli XCX as backup dancer for 30 seconds, and it was the highlight of the number.

How this man get to perform on the show's birthday. #SNL

Hey...uhh...that last sketch should have ended with Bowen popping up as the Boss Baby to tie the whole sketch together, instead of the just ending the labor.

It is weird to see the show miss a reference like that, #SNL

It is the most fighting game-est thing imaginable to just have 6 guest characters pop up for minimal plot reasons, and DC K.O. is sure trying to be a fighting game in comic form.

John Wickham @johnwickham.bsky.social · 3d

That's rude! DC also has Godzilla, but they also Big Monkey to pair with him.

Why do DC Heroes fight each other: In order to see who can use the dangerous power to defeat the God of Evil

Why Marvel Heroes fight each other: Based on the amount of times they have, just because they are bored… I guess?

The biggest failing of X-Office on the business side is that they can only do 10 issues for a character who has broken through to wider audiences through Marvel Rivals/other

Magik should be running for at least 3 years (probably more but Marvel is gonna Marvel) but somehow they have screwed it up.

John Wickham @johnwickham.bsky.social · 23d

Magik is I believe the number 4 or 5 best selling X-book at the moment, and she has so many hooks. She is magic character, a character that explore the Russian character, plus her connections to the X-Men.

Plus attractive lady with sword is an easy character to play with.

John Wickham @johnwickham.bsky.social · 23d

X-Men that can carry a solo book: Wolverine, Cable, Magik... that is the list (plus or minus a Gambit/Storm). And we have gotten some bad decision making, because 2 of those are do not have books.

It is a failing on Breevort that (as far as we know) Magik ended at 10, when others got to keep going.

I don’t get people who think that Jimmy Kimmel is a firebrand against MAGA, because he is lightly jabs at the government.

But apparently they exist because some easily offended idiot got annoyed at Kimmel. I not Kimmel’s biggest fan, but he doesn’t deserve this.

This is deeply, deeply chilling, and I suspect will be seen as even more of a turning point than Colbert's cancellation — at least The Late Show is still on the air.

And if AI could buy the products and services where podcasts make their money from, then she might have a point.

But luckily we live in a world where that isn’t the case, so this is going to bomb.

Whelp, now I know what Kill Tony is. Thanks for that #SNL

And Dexter was almost caught several times if not for dumb luck (mostly the person figuring out his identity dying) plus several frame jobs to make people think that the case was already solved.

John Wickham @johnwickham.bsky.social · Sep 1

And I don’t why that this is recurring thing for me. Why’s that joke rap by Lil Dicky and Chris Brown haunting me?

John Wickham @johnwickham.bsky.social · Sep 1

I got to say this that the people that are cruising around playing “Freaky Friday” by Chris Brown and Lil Dicky for the whole world to hear:

You are the worst and insufferable. As a white guy, I can say that Lil Dicky is lame and there are better Chris Brown songs if you like him.

Mark Waid will reboot the Legion as many times as it takes until morale improves.

We got 4 exits of #SNL cast members, so far. Pissed at Longfellow's firing, Devon and Emil it is annoying that are fired, but Heidi got 8 seasons. She has been a star, but it time for new blood.

Batman offers to do a King Solomon, women are outraged.

They gave Hawkman the archeologist backstory for the first 12 issues and then when they got a new writer, they revealed that everything revealed about Hawkman was a lie and he was actually an alien instead.
