Matt's not kidding! From my HALF OF ONE STAR review:
The first time I ever heard Nate Bargatze do stand up was during the end credits of “The Breadwinner,” the horrifically unfunny family comedy he stars in and co-wrote. His jokes alternate with outtake scenes, as if this were a paid advertisement for his stand up specials. And why not? When it’s not trying to be a poor man’s version of Michael Keaton’s far superior 1983 comedy, “Mr. Mom,” the entire film plays like a series of ads. Toyota, the Tennessee Titans, and the NBC show “Shark Tank” get the most promotional pushes.

Director Eric Appel also finds space for a shopping spree at Walmart, which Bargatze’s character, Nate, celebrates in dialogue that sounds like a commercial. Appel’s camera makes sure to center a giant bucket of KFC in the frame as well.

Product placement is not new, but “The Breadwinner” rubs your face in it. Unfortunately, the biggest product this movie is selling is the outdated notion that fathers are so incompetent that they don’t know where their own kids go to school, or how to make toast, or how to do the laundry.

If I were a magazine journalism assignment editor (and magazine journalism still existed), I would assign a reporter to simply aggregate all the stories of GOP sex creeps from the 21st century. Just list them & put them in one place. There are *hundreds*.

The press will do stories on Republican sex creeps, but it will never, ever point out -- much less make an ongoing narrative out of -- the fact that the GOP has been *ridden* with sex creeps for decades. You have to be blind not to see the pattern.

I also think as bad as it is for a player like Bryce Harper to make a Cameo on behalf of a gambling outfit (and it is *bad*), it probably did less aggregate harm than one of the literal biggest athletes in the world becoming a pitchman to hundreds of millions. I just hate all of this so much.

If someone breaks laws and you choose not to hold them accountable, you have effectively rescinded said laws. That applies to constitutions as well. This is an immutable, non-negotiable fact. Any analysis of what Democrats should do once they regain power that does not acknowledge this is worthless

There’s a documentary on Peacock called “Kill. Bury. Print.” about a very small family-run newspaper in Oklahoma that started investigating corruption in local law enforcement and eventually got local officials on tape musing about killing them. It’s very sobering. Worth a watch.
