Really good professional voice over artist > good vo artist > average vo artist > bad vo artist > a nervous dude with zero vo skills stumbling over words and mispronouncing stuff > a cat in heat screaching > AI voice over.

Truth. Nothing gets me closing a video on you tube faster than that AI voice over bullshit.

*Clicks on an interesting YouTube topic analysis I see. Hears first sentence of AI garbage narrator and exits so very fast.*
Is there a way to filter these out 🤨

Burr has a lot to say about his critics, and very little about the Saudi Arabian government that funded the festival.

Bill Burr sounds real pissy about the Riyadh Comedy Festival backlash

In case his last comments weren't dumb enough, here's more.

I've seen this happen a few times: wrestler A makes a negative comment about wrestler B in a public space. Wrestler B (or another wrestler who is a friend) responds. Wrestler A immediately says wrestler B should have responded in private, ignoring that the very first comment was done in public.

I'll be at that show! I'll say hi if I spot you.

Shouldn't Sting's son be wrestling under the name "Stung?" 🤼

My review of Scream on Letterboxd!

A ★★★★ review of Scream (1996)

This was my first time seeing this film (shut up) and I was shocked at how well written, directed, shot and acted it was for a slasher movie. Drew Berrymore turns in an absolutely note for note perfec...

That spot was done in almost every tag match in the 80's in Memphis.

Somehow I had never watched the original Nightmare On Elm Street until recently. Here's my Letterboxd review.

A ★★★ review of A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

The opening credits are noteworthy. It starts with Freddy constructing his claw hands like he's Tony Stark in Iron Man, then I see it's Johnny Depp's first film, and then Freddy is listed as Fred Krue...

I laughed so hard when he came back and the announcers said "It's Killswitch!" meanwhile the whole crowd is chanting Luchasaurus.

You nailed it right there. Comscore is waiting for Nielsen to make a major mistake (this might be it) and then they'll pounce. And Comscore isn't the only one as I assume you already know.

I don't even think these sites should do AEW recaps. Cover the news, again, fine. Recommend some good matches? Ok. You can be a journalist and a fan, but you should probably remember which one is theoretically your job.

David Jett @djdavidjett.bsky.social · 4d

If you do WWE Smackdown recaps so you won't lose subscribers, aren't you then by extension taking blood money and platforming a company that supports racists and facists?

There's a way to run a wrestling news site without being a shill. Almost none of them do that. Cover WWE from a business standpoint, fine. But if you are doing WWE show recaps and going "Iyo Sky rules!" you are not journalism.

I saw your post right after I made mine about how meaningless ratings discussions are at this point. I agree 100% with your assessment.

David Jett @djdavidjett.bsky.social · 5d

It's laughable that wrestling news sites are still trying to analyze AEW ratings. No one has a clue as to how many people are watching on HBO. How can you make an assessment when you don't have all the numbers?

Honey Don't is now on Peacock and my advice would be...you know where I'm going with that. Here's my Letterboxd review. (yes, I'm now on there. Mostly doing reviews of stuff I see from now on, but may go back and spotlight some of my favorite films of the past.)

A ★★½ review of Honey Don't! (2025)

The second film co-written by Ethan Coen (without his Coen Brothers brother) and wife Tricia Cooke. Both films seem to be their attempt to cross a Coen Brothers film with a Tarentino film but neither ...

ICE agents are the same meatheads who thought they were brave in refusing to wear masks to protect people from covid but now wear them because they are in truth cowards.

The thing that is getting the most mainstream coverage for AEW isn't an angle or a celebrity guest star, but wrestlers there showing empathy and humanity.
