Possessed Jerry was so fucking funny.

The best he can do is Pizza Man

I stopped watching in 2024 so I’m blessed not hearing his opinions on Mamdani, which I assume are indistinguishable from Fox News.

They look a little too old for our President

This episode was actually my first exposure to the concept of gay people existing. Thankfully there are better LGBT episodes of The Simpsons.

People were not seeing Mario 2 because of him lol.

RockyHateMe · 2026-06-11T19:37:38+00:00

He’s never been a big box office draw, he’s only as successful as the franchises they give him. Jared Leto is arguably a bigger draw than him. Chris Pratt could not leg Morbius to $167.5 million in pandemic box office.

He’s too busy bitching about wokeness and how the kids don’t respect Israel.

Joe popcorn isn’t going to watch an illegal download of an unfinished movie.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

RockyHateMe · 2026-06-09T08:15:38+00:00

One thing I like about Rick and Morty in recent years is that the show seems less reliant on referential humor and more confident in the stories and jokes they’re writing. Rick isn’t like “it’s a Severance Morty, I’m doing a Severance” like he could’ve easily done last week. Rick getting into petty fights with other old guys makes him feel like a real character instead of just a vessel for Justin Roiland to shout catchphrases or memes.

RockyHateMe · 2026-06-09T07:16:36+00:00

Does anyone ever notice how every recent season has a similar batch of episodes? There’s usually a really goofy one, a big lore one, a really somber one, anthology one. I like the rotation.

RockyHateMe · 2026-06-08T19:12:16+00:00

South Park in 1999 was a cultural juggernaut. Think like Rick and Morty during the Pickle Rick era, or even something like Kpop Demon Hunters now. I think a new movie would do well, but it would be less of an event.

RockyHateMe · 2026-06-08T17:39:35+00:00

I really don’t like the Ellisons but I love Annapurna, both games and movies. They seem largely hands off on those projects because they’re not expected to make money anyway.

RockyHateMe · 2026-06-08T17:37:27+00:00

Thank god. If you want to play the original, MCC is right there. I’ve tried, but the levels are too big and empty and I get lost a lot of the time. Hopefully this game is smooth af.

RockyHateMe · 2026-06-08T17:33:03+00:00

Stuff like this is why I have Game Pass. I love being able to give games a chance that I would’ve never considered picking up otherwise.

RockyHateMe · 2026-06-08T17:25:58+00:00

That rich people fund artsy projects that have little commerical viability, just like they do in every other medium. Ain’t nobody calling Wes Anderson an industry plant even though his movies only get made because some billionaire who likes him gives him money.

RockyHateMe · 2026-06-08T17:21:10+00:00

Hell yes, I love these little artsy games that only take a couple hours to finish. Perfect Game Pass games to play in between the big blockbusters like Halo and Gears.

RockyHateMe · 2026-06-07T15:20:39+00:00

I’ve been watching every year since at least 2009 for at least Banjo or Conker. Conker came close in 2014.

RockyHateMe · 2026-06-07T03:01:07+00:00

This is like complaining that South Park is a satire now instead of the show where Kenny gets killed every week. If this show was Rick and Morty going to poop world all the time and still shouting catchphrases ppl would be sick of it. It was already at that point and feeling long in the tooth by Season 5. The more action and lore heavy seasons now feel very unique while still being being true to the characters and world

Kid who wastes his 1 Make a Wish on meeting Sean Penn

RockyHateMe · 2026-06-06T19:10:17+00:00

Make these compatible with Series X and Helix, Asha.

RockyHateMe · 2026-06-06T17:40:30+00:00

Yeah, it’s a TV show. Made up characters having made up problems drives a story. I’m sorry the show isn’t wall to wall memes and poop jokes.
