Non-cape tv show

Fuck off with that garbage. I meant something like Man in the High Castle (except good) or Inglorious Bastards.

Noughts + Crosses it is, then.

Does anyone know of good alternate history tv shows?

Blackadder. The first series, everything after that is broadly historically accurate.

I'd say that 'good' and 'alternative history' are kind of oxymorons. Most of them are just an excuse for Hollywood to sublimate its Nazi fetishism.

Worst podcast ever comin' up!

Revenge of the Cis commented on a bunch of clips of this podcast and it's even worse than I thought it would be. It's five men who have NO chemistry together, have nothing to say without their writing staff, and seem to not even want to do this show.

One interesting topic that these faggots COULD talk about is how one of them, Jimmy Fallon, is presently getting slaughtered in the press for supposedly nurturing a "toxic" work environment. I bet this dumb podcast won't address it, though. Or if they do it will be in some soft way.

Also, I have no interest in defending Jimmy Fallon, but when these disgruntled staffers talk about their high pressure work environment and being yelled at when the boss is in a bad mood and everyone is on edge most of the time, it sounds like most of the jobs I've had in my life.

The Tonight Show Allegedly the Toxic Show
By Jason P. Frank, a Vulture writer covering comedy, theater, and music

The Tonight Show may be full of laughter, but behind the scenes, it’s no laughing matter. Sixteen anonymous current and former staff members accused the late-night show of having a toxic work culture in the September 7 RS report. Allegedly, it starts at the top. Staffers on the show are used to there being either “good Jimmy days” or “bad Jimmy days,” in which Fallon is prone to outbursts and erratic behavior. “It was like, if Jimmy is in a bad mood, everyone’s day is fucked,” a former employee told RS. “People wouldn’t joke around in the office, and they wouldn’t stand around and talk to each other. It was very much like, focus on whatever it is that you have to do because Jimmy’s in a bad mood, and if he sees that, he might fly off.” Some staffers attribute this behavior to Fallon’s alleged overuse of alcohol — some say they think he was drunk at work, and eight former employees said the quality of the work day depended on whether Fallon was hungover. On bad days, he would reportedly be passive-aggressive, making comments like, “Are you okay? Seriously, do you need help?”

The report goes into detail about showrunners who made the show’s environment increasingly toxic, specifically focusing on Jamie Granet-Bederman, who was a showrunner from 2020 to March 2022. The report details incidents with Granet-Bederman including inappropriate comments, like asking a Black employee, “What is going on with your hair?” “They are the worst bosses I’ve ever had in my life. They use that position of power to bully and treat the staff that way, and the network is aware of how they treat people. They not only continue to enable it, but they reward it.”

Another former employee says Granet-Bederman attended an HR-conducted exit interview after they left The Tonight Show. “It felt as if it was an intimidation tactic,” they said. This incident followed a pattern of events in which the employee would report issues with Granet-Bederman to HR, only to find that HR would report back to Granet-Bederman — allegedly causing them to be put on “a performance-improvement plan. “Everything that I relayed to HR was then relayed to my manager, so it was not a safe space,” they added. “It felt as if they were acting in the interest of one person instead of the interests of the greater whole.”

One accuser said they were fired without explanation and without prior warnings or issues with their work. “I ended up talking to the HR person later on the phone, and she was like, ‘Yeah, I’ve never seen anything like this,’” the former employee said. “She was like, ‘I don’t know why you’re being let go. You didn’t do anything wrong … I’ve never seen somebody get fired for no reason.’” Not so funny.

Fallon being a drunk is the only thing that might qualify here.
It’s not like him being fake is a big shocker. Nor is it shocking that a Tonight Show host is an ass (Carson was supposedly very icy - and we know about Leno) - the catch is that Carson was good and the shows sucked since.

Almost everyone in the entertainment industry is a massive gash.

Yordan Peterstein taught me that masturbation machines are real.

Revenge of the Cis commented on a bunch of clips of this podcast and it's even worse than I thought it would be. It's five men who have NO chemistry together, have nothing to say without their writing staff, and seem to not even want to do this show.

That's the least surprising revelation the show could ever have.

None of these faggots are interested in being "real."
