Since it looks like The AV Club is going to shit, does anyone have any suggestions for good alternatives? That's kind of been my daily go-to for entertainment news, reviews, re-caps, etc.
(also, is there a better thread to ask this in? probably)

I'll consider it. What letter grade would you give the Yellowjackets finale?

Vulture, Collider? They both kinda suck but could be ok. Variety maybe?

Kevin and Winnie from the original Wonder Years would be at least in their mid 60s today.

I must be getting old; I still don’t get what the big deal about Euphoria is. Attractive twentysomethings playing high schoolers having sex and doing drugs is hardly ground breaking melodrama.

how old were you when you didn't want to watch high school kids have sex?

I've been watching the Pam & Tommy show. At one point it shows Tommy being real depressed about the downward trajectory of his career, and he's sitting around watching TV and he sees a news report that's like "is Seattle replacing LA as the new epicenter of rock???" and he gets all bummed out about it and it's funny
But, the show takes place in 1996. Wasn't the whole Seattle/grunge thing pretty dead at that point? That was dumb

No. Grunge began in 1995 and phased out in 2000ish.

Was LA ever the epicenter of rock?
