After a decade of teaching Chappelle’s comedy to college students, @mos_daf comes to terms with the fading relevance of the one-time GOAT vult.re/2ZaLxJI

If you want to continue hearing my incredible takes like "Stubby Kaye is the actor whose career I'd most like to have" and "Can you imagine how much Lucille Bluth and Emily Gilmore would passive-aggressively HATE each other?!" find me at dfmorgan.bsky.social. See you there.

The ‘ABBOTT ELEMENTARY’ crew surprised Quinta Brunson with her own easter egg in the new Halloween episode. It’s a throwback to her movie date skit from 2014. 😂

Learning about people by asking them if “Carl!” makes them think of Rick from The Walking Dead or Harriet Winslow from Family Matters.

Replying to @NLRG_it
the other issue is that old films simply look worse. i do not have the vocabulary to describe this precisely, but modern films look "sharper" and their colors feel more carefully chosen

I want a Brady Bunch movie style reboot of Living Single where the Khadijah and everyone still acts like it’s the 90s but they’re in 2024.

Let me just say that I want very good things for everyone who was involved with Passing Strange because they deserve the world, and I'm so happy that @eisadavis is having another major moment <3.

Time to release this from the drafts: When I was a kid, the height of maturity and charisma and being an ADULT was the kid with the glasses on Are You Afraid of the Dark? I was like “man, that kid’s got IT.”

Turns out Gary from Are You Afraid of the Dark is now a gay hunk!

I am shocked and devastated by the death of Gavin Creel. What an incredible talent. What a loss. One of the highlights of my experience in a musical audience was seeing him perform in Into the Woods last year in SF. He made every role iconic in new ways. Rest in Peace, prince.

My love of Kris Kristofferson is well-chronicled and long. An English literature major, a Rhodes scholar, an incisive lyricist, a captivating actor, a thoughtful human being, and my favorite country artist of all time. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. 💔

In the Disney Snow White when the Evil Queen casts spells to physically transform herself, one is for "a blast of wind to fan my hate." That's wild, she could have cast a spell for anything and she settled on "I want to hate Snow White even MORE while I'm doing this."
