                      could probably have guessed; how many Monk’s Diner scenes revolved around banter about world leaders or dictators?

                      packs about four sketches to an episode, each tracking some seismic event from the 250-year American story, and in true Larry fashion, surfacing the most banal, petty “what if” scenarios revolving around either notable figures or imagined nobodies adjacent to that history. It’s LD Unleashed, delving into his longtime obsessions and deconstructing the nuances of everyday social interaction, free from the shackles of serialized narrative.

                      The Rolodex of guest stars and cameos is as elite as you’d expect. (I’m not sure what’s been teased and who’s in the trailer, but I went in completely cold, and as asinine as the idea that listing someone’s appearance in a show like this might be a “spoiler” seems, there’s a genuinely great surprise factor in the two episodes that I saw that I wouldn’t dream of ruining, just in case.)

                      But most important is how locked-in Larry is. Before the screening started my friend Jordyn said he looks especially invigorated in the trailer, and after watching two episodes I’m inclined to agree. The first sketch is basically just
                      <em>
                       Curb
                      </em>
                      with powdered wigs, but once he gets that out of his system, he commits in a way that elevates this from feeling like a retread. He isn’t just playing LD the Bald Asshole in various different costumes; the characters in these sketches feel like distinctly different positions on his dial. He’s delightfully spineless in a standout 1917 sketch set in the trenches of WWI; he goes full Tyler Perry and plays a woman in another.

                      There’s a pretty perfect amount of line-pushing—one specific cutaway shot in a Rosa Parks sketch made me actually yell out loud. And as you could’ve guessed, he uses the show’s broad theme to comment on the current state of American affairs, sometimes passively, as in a skit dedicated to the uselessness of the electoral college (and a throwaway line about why Republicans won’t part with it as a practice). And one sketch in particular addresses a pretty big real-life point of intrigue concerning LD and people in his circle that I was shocked to see referenced so directly.

After I reminded Susie Essman that she once asked if I was 12 when I was interviewing her years back (“You still look 12,” she said), she told me to look out for her towards the end of the season. Later, Jeff Garlin joked that any scene between himself and Larry has a high bar to live up to, but he thinks they cleared it. And speaking of Larry’s orbit, with a format this loose and unpredictable, will we finally see an on-screen father-daughter union between LD and his daughter Cazzie, herself a writer with unique, dry social observations? “No,” Cazzie laughed, mortified by the idea, “We’re not the Sandlers.”

                      As the embargo lifts on the second film in James Gunn's cinematic DC universe, a lot of critics are comparing this to some of the absolute dregs of the MCU. I just saw someone who invoked
                      <em>
                       Thor: The Dark World
                      </em>
                      , an abominable, torturous experience that I found myself having to sit through multiple times for reasons I can't clearly remember anymore, but the scars still linger. No,
                      <em>
                       Supergirl
                      </em>
                      is more like
                      <em>
                       Thor: Love and Thunder
                      </em>
                      —mid, aggressively competent, and nothing more, to the point that it leaves you in a blank state of passivity. Lower stakes and a smaller, more intimate story are fine narrative goals, but the execution can still feel grand. Aside from a few brief spurts of unexpected brutality, some welcome Jason Momoa line deliveries, and a game Milly Alcock, the worst thing about Supergirl is that it feels indistinguishable from, well, The CW.

                      Walking out of a restaurant in Venice and back to our cars last Friday, my boy asked me if I'd tapped in with Olivia's new album yet and then we exchanged glances and said "Yooo, but 'The Cure,' though!" as if we were talking about a new Kendrick feature verse. Then, the other day, driving down the 405, I threw the same question to another friend; when he said he hadn't, I went with "The Cure" as his intro to the album. By the time that cascading vocal stack hit— "I'm unraveled!"—he looked over to me and said "Yea...this is hard." What I'm trying to say is, Olivia... she's for the boys.
