The New Cult Canon ended and we talk Community puppets this week on The A.V. Club
Don’t miss:
- Our film editor Scott Tobias closed out his New Cult Canon feature with a look at Michael Tolkin’s The Rapture.
- Inventory looked at songs with weird whispers and governments too inept to be sinister.
- Nathan Rabin deconstructed The Simpsons’ Yellow Album, a record that put merchandising first and quality control a very distant second.
- Controversy sparked around Glee’s school-shooting episode, which, while emotionally harrowing, was undeniably trashy.
- LL Cool J and Brad Paisley released “Accidental Racist,” a song so misguided, it makes Soul Man seem subtle.
- AMC is still seriously considering a Breaking Bad spin-off focusing on Bob Odenkirk’s character, Saul Goodman, because television doesn’t have enough sleaze-focused entertainment as it is.
This week in Great Job, Internet!
