This month, we examine the horrifying world of Omicronian love and learn that the way to Lrrr's heart is through his horns (which also house his testes).

My main exposure to Glee that was a girl I knew in high school watched that show, and she didn't want to get in a hot tub with boys, because according to her there was an episode of glee where a guy's sperm floats around in a hot tub until it enters one of the female characters and gets her pregnant Years later I remembered this interaction and thought "this couldn't possibly have happened on the show" but I looked up an article that seems to confirm that this was indeed a plot point (and debunks the science behind it)

I’m so, so, SO thankful there’s someone else out there that shares my frustration that Modern Family would win year after year after year, in the wake of such great, overlooked shows like 30 Rock and Parks and Rec.

WOW this episode with Sergio Aragonés premiered only 10 days before the Cartoon Network MAD series (airing right after the first episode of Regular Show as well). That's either brilliant networking or dumb luck. This adaptation is a part of the mental fabric for the most demented of us elder zoomers and its how I was exposed to the MAD Empire. Despite being Robot Chicken for kids and having loads of dated early 2010's cringe, I can still enjoy it as a mixed-media sketch show. The artistic sensibilities of Mark Merek truly shines in the animation. Designs ranging from UPA knockoffs to bargain bin Dreamworks parodies were captured perfectly by the artists. They even gave us the on-screen death of Lightning McQueen! Revisiting the series as an adult now knowing that some of MAD's cartoonists such as Aragonés contributed along side indie animators has given me a new appreciation for the series.

JJ Abrams is like the Bizarro to Steven Spielberg’s Superman. Both full of nostalgic whimsy for the magic of the movies, but one used that to become the greatest director to ever live and the other is a talentless hack that somehow keeps failing upwards.
