Is it because she had been Oscar-nominated plenty of times but had never won (at the time of writing/recording), so it's maybe the idea that she's crying because she can't even win a scratchard, let alone an Oscar

2023-05-10 23:08:27 +0000 UTCShe cried at the Oscars during Leonardo Di Caprios' speech so it references that.

2023-05-10 17:41:10 +0000 UTC"The only thing that dates it a little is they fret over such small things to avoid a scandal. After the last few years major events have happened and people still have their jobs. They all seem Teflon coated now." So true. You just can't write satire that competes with the shit that Trump and Bojo came out with, and that the Brexiteers came out with before the vote. They will always have said or done something stupider and more unbelievable than anything a writer can come up with.
Saul
2023-05-10 14:42:48 +0000 UTCIf I don't get a reference I just go with what thing that has happened in my life where that line would be good to use. It fills the whole. The only thing that dates it a little is they fret over such small things to avoid a scandal. After the last few years major events have happened and people still have their jobs. They all seem Teflon coated now.

2023-05-10 12:29:38 +0000 UTCPeople complain that the references go over an American's head, but I think that's missing the fact that every viewer will miss some reference or other, even the viewer that's perfectly clued in to the cultural world the writers of this show inhabit. This show is very much up my alley but there are at least three or four references I don't get in this episode, or that I get but only barely, because it's referencing a show from the seventies that I only know of by allusion, or it's referencing some little meme that was popular in 2009. The bit about Kate Winslet winning a scratch card...I've no idea what that's about for example. There was some kitchen sink misery drama Oscar bait she was in around that time - that fires some long dormant neurons in my brain, and that might be what that's about, but really, that reference went over my head, as did a few others. And I'd say I'm one of the more simpatico viewers. But IMO the general arcs of the episodes are simple and solid. The plots are pretty straightforward and littered with very funny jokes, it feels like one every twenty seconds or so at least. The characters are rich, the plots are realistic and dramatic, so getting hung up on the references you don't get is to miss the point. I think if you don't like the show it's not because you don't get the references; I think it's something else.

2023-05-10 11:55:57 +0000 UTCHe's a brilliant actor. He was also a rather melancholy prison medic in Alien 3, a role that no-one ever mentions but was beautiful in its way.
Saul
2023-05-10 11:42:36 +0000 UTCThe line 'she's like a clown running across a minefield' is one of those perfect throwaway lines. I can see the image that it creates perfectly, it's like a gif in my mind, a clown with huge shoes running with floppy feet across a minefield, and getting repreatedly blown up like a loony tunes character. That's the definition of a perfect line - it creates an indelible, instantly iconic image in your head that makes you laugh when you think of it.

2023-05-10 06:21:22 +0000 UTCCharles Dance = Tywin Lannister! If you're an Arnie connoisseur, you might also remember him as the bad guy from Last Action Hero. Nicola mentions him when she's flailing around for a good example of a Charles the public can emulate, because he oozes pure class. (Frankly, there were some Game of Thrones scenes where he made everyone else onscreen look like they were in a school play!)

2023-05-10 03:45:39 +0000 UTCSuch a great episode, so many great moments! Teri: for the record I have done nothing. Glenn: that'll be your epitaph Teri Malcolm: il shove a fucking magnet down your throat and watch your face implode. The writing on this show is just too good π

2023-05-10 00:08:32 +0000 UTCBagpuss is a huge pink toy cat from kids tv in the 70s that barely moves and is pretty much an all-round total waste of space. Imagine Snorlax from Pokemon in feline form π€£
