Season 13 was pretty hit or miss--a few more hits than misses, with the episodes that actually had Dennis generally (and not unexpectedly) being the stronger of the bunch, but yowza, that finale. The final five minutes were very likely the strangest--and without a doubt the most beautiful--thing the Gang has ever put to film. List is stuff I'm planning to snag soon. | | 1 |  | The Ocean

Early tracks have been fire. Morose and ghostly, ethereal fire. Fun fact: May be seeing the film tonight, which will likely help finalize my decision on whether to buy this. | | 5 |  | Johann Johannsson

Meanwhile, think I missed my chance on seeing this one in the ol' movie-house, but definitely try to Redbox this bad boy. Hopefully it's a fitting swan song to this icon of modern classical, gone far fuckin' too soon. | | 6 |  | How to Dress Well

Thanks, Sputnik; had no idea this band existed until like two weeks ago. Very solid stuff. | | 8 |  | Saintseneca

Sputnik's truly slippin'--I had to add this to the database myself. Tsk tsk. | | 10 |  | Boygenius

Still need to listen to more Lucy Dacus, but the other 2/3rds of this band are already in steady rotation on my playlists, so pretty pumped for this, despite the somewhat muted reaction it seems to be generating. | | 11 |  | Architects

Iffier on this one. Love the name, and Jeff Rosenstock's solo stuff, but may need to give it a few more streams before deciding. | | 13 |  | Touche Amore

11.09.18 | Time's Up is so funny...only halfway thru since im in italy but im making my way there...any other highlights after that episode? | thecheatisnotdead
11.09.18 | Aw yeah, that's a definite high-point. A few goodies from there (especially the "Bathroom episode"), but they unfortunately hit a lull in the final third of the season. Finale sort of redeems it, though. | Artuma
11.09.18 | waiting for this shit to come to the finnish streaming services. funniest show ever | CygnusX1
11.09.18 | When does it go to Hulu? | DarkSideOfLucca
11.09.18 | Just finished it...damn, that was a powerful finale.
Time's Up is fucking hilarious, agreed. It wasn't the best season, but there are some gems for sure. I will definitely be watching season 14. | thecheatisnotdead
11.09.18 | Yeah, it's pretty remarkable a show like this in its thirteenth season not only hasn't fully succumbed to time decay, but can still routinely churn out more wins than losses. Time's Up and the Bathroom Problem were classics, and I really liked the premiere, wheels, and the Boggs reboot. And needless to say, the finale, even if I wasn't fully sold on the ep until the end.
Spoiler warning, sorta-kinda I guess:
Really, it's just a shame that the Superbowl two-parter ended up (for me, at least) being the weakest outing of the season, when it really could've been something special. | DarkSideOfLucca
11.09.18 | Agreed, that could have been fucking awesome | thecheatisnotdead
11.09.18 | Yeah, the little home movie at the end was pretty cool--if, y'know, not really related to the actual episode itself. But that's the problem, I guess, when a behind-the-scenes bonus like that and an athlete cameo are the high points of your hour-long episode, there's trouble.
I'm also probably bitter since "The Gang Gets Invincible" is one of my all-time favorites from back in the day. | Minushuman24
11.30.18 | The finale of this was ridiculous. Jesus Christ. I am not an emotional person by any means, but I was fighting back tears with all my might. |
