It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What We Do in the Shadows also has the best theme song!

Learned recently that Norma Tanega was Dusty Springfield's live-in lover for many years.

Colin Robinson is so painful to watch but somehow still so funny!

It hit me at the end of the episode - he's a murder hornet!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Ha! He did self compare to a parasitic wasp...

I honestly thought that the most recent episode's plot would have a reveal that, when Colin steals the other vampires' energy, it draws down their high emotions -- like, Colin (who "came with the house", lol) is instrumental in preventing Nandor and Nadja from ventilating each other, in particular. I was a little bummed that it wasn't made explicit but it's definitely headcanon for me!

Aw, I just found out that Joel McHale and Ken Jeong started a podcast called The Darkest Timeline. Haven't listened to it yet but that's potentially good. The latest episode features a Zoom cast reunion, that almost has to be good.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

The idea that Colin Robinson came with the house is so subtly creepy.

It is. I kinda hope they explore that some more. But maybe not too much

Ann, that's a ferret.

Learned recently that Norma Tanega was Dusty Springfield's live-in lover for many years.

Please tell me they really did have a cat named Dog.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We caught up on the most recent two episodes last night and they were INSPIRED. Colin walking through the office and knocking people out with cliches just killed me.

Finally watched ZEP. Very sad. I was delighted that Mo and Eddie got back together, and absolutely OVER this stupid idiot nonsense love triangle.
