I‘m not saying that you should sit down your teenage children and show them this Big Mouth clip about contraception in which Leah finds herself choosing between different methods on a Bachelorette-style show called “Miss Conception” … but at the very least, you should watch it yourself. Funny, accurate and surprisingly informative!
Big Mouth‘s second season begins on Netflix this Friday.
South Park has been voted the “most offensive show of all time” by Senior Living magazine, which is adorable. Just wait till they see of Big Mouth.
Here’s the new opening credits for The Walking Dead, and dare I say, they’re pretty?
In an interview about the final season of Game of Thrones, Iain Glen (Ser Jorah Mormont), said: “We all sat down for the read-through of six feature-length episodes. They took longer to film, cost more, and are more surprising. It was very emotional.” FEATURE-LENGTH EPISODES? I mean, they’re going to be hell on me to recap if they’re all 90-120 minute long, but I’M NOT GOING TO COMPLAIN.
Here’s your chance to go to the Game of Thrones season premiere with a Lannister:
ALERT, MY WHISKY AND SCOTCH DRINKING FRIENDS: Nine different Game of Thrones‘ inspired bottles are going to be released soon, including White Walker from Johnnie Walker.
I’m old enough to remember Michael B. Jordan on All My Children. And to think he almost deprived all of us of him.
Lore returns on Amazon this month: here is an episode breakdown.
April Blair, the creator and showrunner for the upcoming CW series All American has stepped down for “personal reasons.” Co-executive producer Nkechi Okoro Carroll has been promoted to take her place.

Alex Trebek moderated the Philadelphia gubernatorial debate the other night and was so bad at it, he was booed by the audience.
Sex Monster News
Our President mocked Dr. Ford at a political rally last night. The man we elected to the highest office in this country demeaned the victim of a sexual assault to laughter, cheers, and applause.
I’m furious and exhausted and looking for the matches.
Even Fox & Friends thought it was a bad look. But all that matters is what Senators Collins, Murkowski and Flake think.
To that end: Register to vote and if you are registered to vote, make sure you still are registered to vote. The last day to register in Texas is Tuesday, October 9. Early voting in Texas begins on October 22. Election Day is November 6.
Kirsten Powers, a CNN contributor, wrote about her own sexual assault and why she didn’t tell anyone.
I don’t know what month it was. I don’t know whose house it was. I remember one of my two best friends being there but she doesn’t remember it, and why would she? It was just some random party as far as she knew at the time.
I can hear the doubters: Why now? Why didn’t you tell anyone? Why didn’t you report him?
Liar.
The answer is simple: While I knew something terrible had happened, I didn’t think I had been sexually assaulted. In the early 1980s, we didn’t possess the vocabulary to make such declarations. I thought I had done something stupid and paid a price for it.
I thought it was my fault.
BREAKING: Anita Hill would not confirm Kavanaugh. It would never have occurred to me to ask her this question, but bless the person who had the confidence to do so.
