Review by Christopher Taylor (The Yodelling Llama)
The second episode of 2 Girls, 1 Cup: The Show continued to seek laughs by way of Justin Roiland repeating non-words…with diminishing returns. Still, the story arc was well-executed, the introduction of Fred Stoller was welcome, and the gunfight was quite funny. Here’s hoping the sophomore slump is only temporary. B
The “younger Brie” photos in Stop It #7 made me giggle. The discomfort between the make-up addict Brie’s ex-husband John and his daughter... (more)

Christopher Taylor's Channel 101 Round-Up Returns! In fact, it never left. We just stopped copying & pasting it from his blog. And now, the reviews:
Cautionary Tales of Swords is not aging well. The decision to morph into a vigilante program has become a straightforward mistake. Casting Justin Roiland was an ugly decision. And the cocksucking-as-checkered-past was not happymaking. On the plus side, pilfering Elfman upon the arrival of Batman: beautiful.... (more)
