This video entertains the possibility of a revival of The Critic, a remarkable, yet forgotten show from the 90s. After my previous video, both Jon Lovitz and Al Jean came out in support of a revival. And while I’d love to see Jay Sherman return, I think it’s worth asking whether such a revival could work.

In this video, I highlight a remarkable new show called Common Side Effects. It’s rare for a show to come along and really impress me after just one season. But this show, which debuted on Adult Swim, really raised the bar for just how great adult animation can be. And I highly encourage everyone to check it out for themselves. Enjoy!

In this video, I once again revisit 90s MTV gem, Daria. And this time, I focus on the evolution and (partial) redemption of her younger, super-shallow, super-popular sister, Quinn.
Now, I freely admit that Quinn Morgendorffer was the character I hated most on this show. For the first two seasons, she was insufferable. But towards the end, she went on an interesting arc. And while I won’t say she completely redeemed herself, her evolution is worth exploring. Enjoy!

In this video, I revisit the series finale of Malcolm in the Middle. This groundbreaking sitcom did a lot of things differently over the course of seven seasons. But it had to navigate some unique challenges with the finale. It ended up being messy (literally), but uniquely satisfying.
Also, I started making this video before news came out about a finale/spin-off series. So, please keep that in mind.

In this video, I highlight a hero’s journey, as well as an underdog story. Both stories, on their own, have plenty of appeal. But it’s rare to see them rolled into one character and one story.
But “How To Train Your Dragon” did just that with Hiccup, a character who embodies everything we love about underdogs and heroes. Enjoy!

In this video, I make the case that, of all the jobs artificial intelligence could replace, CEO should be at the top of that list. In recent years, CEOs in general have generated headlines for all the wrong reasons. With the ongoing advancements in AI, this is one job for which we should be actively trying to remove human flaws.

In this video, I explore how Transformers One really raised the bar for what a Transformers movie could be. I also highlight how, despite all the things this movie did right, it did not perform well at the box office. And that’s tragic because this movie deserved so much better. Enjoy!
