If the Animation Group weren’t Kind Of The Worst, this would be such a fitting capper to this whole story. But I think the technicality of this eligibility is going to run into the same reason they didn’t nominate The LEGO Movie.

I reached a brain-breaking (personal) milestone with @givememyremote.bsky.social on Monday: 25,000 posts. (The site itself has mid-30k re: total posts.) Grateful to everyone who reads/supports GMMR; I hope to be able to bring you (at least) 25,000 more. ♥️

They gave them all to Clayface. Cowards.

The death of Facebook has led to News Feed dominance for anyone who IS regularly posting, which is how I became very invested in someone I briefly overlapped with in university running for city council in Ontario tonight. I never liked or shared anything, but I like to think her win is also MY win.

Hard to think of a more extreme case of Dolby Cinema Regret than my local AMC letting Klara and the Sun—which is set to earn less than $1m this weekend—have a matinee over Wildwood (est. $11m) and of course You Can See Everything (est. $19m).

Let the record show this is the ORIGINAL. Captured directly from the torrent circa October 2010. An *Artifact*.

I’m really curious how this performs. (It seems like they are showing it in other theater chains for areas without Regal, FWIW).

An underreported factor in the show's early buzz might be that the pilot screener leaked on Torrent sites, meaning that regular people got to participate ahead of air (even if "social media" didn't really exist yet).

The casting on the current run of Celebrity Name that Tune is maybe the worst in Reality TV history? Nearly every one of these people should have just donated $10,000 to charity themselves and saved us the pain and suffering of their appearance.

James Spader reinforces the NYCC story I want to read: how much is Raising Cane’s paying for that spot and what is the actual promotional value of being in the background of every Wikipedia image of a celebrity in front of it?

I know we think the MCU is a bit washed, but my TikTok algorithm has already given me two Tommy edits—one set to a Taylor Swift song about his scam accomplice and one about his father set to Next to Normal—and #VisionQuest just came out, so there remains something to be activated here.

Sometimes I think people don't realize how much I envy their ability to watch TV like a normal person. You think I WANT to be losing my mind at the temporality of every season of #SlowHorses to the point a rising sun sends me into hysterics? You think I'd CHOOSE to be this way?

I'm recapping VisionQuest for Episodic Medium! Come read my thoughts on a premiere that gets off to an impressively jampacked start

I understand that their target audience is children but whoever let Blippi do #IsItCake fully in character? The Hague.

The only #Carrie discourse I’m interested in is Mike Flanagan’s reckless intertextual abandon in the penultimate episode.

Today at Episodic Medium, I'm back with weekly reviews of two -- count 'em, two -- shows from Robert and Michelle King, for the price of one. Elsbeth's 4th season kicks off with a fun, frothy installment, and is joined by the intriguing and fast-paced Cupertino: www.episodicmedium.tv/review-elsbe...

My Facebook feed is increasingly algorithmic as my generation stops posting on Facebook, and it’s officially been trained to know there is no genre I love more right now than “Small Business AI FAFO.”

Oh, so they didn't give us screeners for the #TedLasso finale because they wanted to delay my rage, got it.

I have now seen four angles of the college kids bullying Kelly Clarkson into playing “Underneath the Tree” on October 3 and I’ve watched every single one of them in full, damnit.

I won't pretend I'm always the best editor of my own work, but sometimes I stop and think "Myles, you really do need to use hyperlinks to explain references to things that happened more than a decade ago that may or may not be known to your readers."

#Digger presumably bombing seems like a particularly cruel fate for the IMAX 70mm locations who've given up nearly sold out #TheOdyssey screenings.

If you want a 10,000 word deep dive into what makes Heated Rivalry so good, boy do I have a series of essays for you!

The VMAs’ simultaneous desire to remain tied to music history while also privileging current artists is a fascinating cultural experiment, but it sure created a dire George Michael tribute up until they broke the latter rule for Adam Lambert.

Whatever they paid Nigella wasn’t enough, tbh. #GBBO

I don’t think we’re talking enough about how the NYT lists were unranked and all it really means is what shows the most people thought they should have on their lists, which is not nothing but isn’t actually evaluating the best show of the 21st century.

I realize that this isn’t illogical—of course people are more likely to watch a movie they haven’t seen over one that was wildly successful at the box office—but it’s still very funny to me.

Is there anything more TV in 2026 than watching a limited series you saw some buzz about but no one’s talking about it anymore and thinking “Wow, I’m so late to the party” and then realizing it only dropped five weeks ago? I was charmed by #MyBrilliantCareer, is what I’m saying.

#TedLasso's insistence on making 50+ minute episodes with a perfectly good 30-minute episode buried in it brought me back to Benioff's infamous "themes are for eighth-grade book reports" quote. Do you know what might make this version of the show work better? Thematic parallels.

On the one hand, yes, the clips from this show are 100% an improvement on an audio-only experience. But on the OTHER hand, if this is the case, then why oh WHY are the ad reads at the beginning of the episode read from a script instead of a prompter?!

This is probably closer to what the Peacock "Traitors" gets per episode than you'd think. The big minutes watched total in streaming ratings doesn't *necessarily* mean a giant per-episode audience, especially since the Nielsen streaming numbers include watch time for every episode of a show.

#SlowHorses is back for season six, which means that I can finally publish reviews I wrote months ago because this is easily the show with the longest lead time for screeners due to filming a full year in advance. Thoughts on a premiere that tests whether the show is capable of being overstuffed.

Let the record show that it was @davechen.bsky.social who first identified people who watch award shows obsessively “sickos” but it was I who earnestly ran with it, because accurate. Our breakdown of the 2026 #Emmys can be watched here: youtu.be/R_IuVB9rw-o

One year ago today, I left Rolling Stone and turned What's Alan Watching? into my full-time business. I'm SO grateful to everyone who's supported me. I've got a preview of what's to come, and a discount for people on the fence about signing up for a paid sub:

#ThePitt S2—while very good—struggled to escape the feeling that it only cared about Robbie's character, so it's sort of fitting that its only major #Emmys wins were for series and Noah Wyle, y'know?
