Louie: "Looking for Liz/Lilly Changes" (3.9)
“Looking for Liz/Lilly Changes” was, as the title implies, such a bifurcated episode that it’s difficult to treat it as one entity, especially since one half was so significantly better than the other. What unites the two was their basic story, two searches that are, in different manners, complete busts. But these two halves, one ending with a sex joke and the other focused on Louis’ children, also do a good job approximating the two main halves of the show. Few episodes of the series have encapsulated what’s good and bad about the show as well as this one.... read more

Watch a Trailer for Butter
If you think Will Ferrell and Zach Galafianakis’ newly released political satire The Campaign is over-the-top, take a look at the trailer for Butter. The film features Jennifer Garner and Modern Family‘s Ty Burrell as husband-and-wife butter sculptors who get the itch to run for political office. “I really think Bob and I can parlay this fame we have from butter into political,” said Garner’s character. “Don’t be surprised if you see us in the Governor’s Mansion…or the White House.”... read more
Comic Relief with Mark Waid
In Comic Relief, Paste chats with some of the most influential writers and artists in comics about their work and the comics that inspired them. The first thing Mark Waid told me is that Joe Kubert is dead. I called Waid the morning after Kubert’s death, not realizing the legendary artist was gone, and immediately heard about both his passing and the crass obituary DC Comics initially posted on its website. That obituary disgusted Waid, but he didn’t sound shocked or surprised. He was clearly angry but also sounded almost amused at how a company he is currently at odds... read more
