Hacks

Every mention, in time. Each mark is a day — taller means more that day — and links to the moment.

Tim’s take

He genuinely likes the show itself, calling it excellent and singling out Hannah Einbinder even though some of its writers have called him a fascist on Twitter 1:06:11 1:33:22 47:28. That praise is real but it coexists with using Hacks as shorthand for a Hollywood he thinks is running on fumes, a show that exists mainly to prove Hollywood still exists 12:52.

The rest of the mentions are a running bit rather than an argument: he keeps pitching himself or storylines onto the show, riffs on Jean Smart being called a legend for no clear reason, and imagines Del Rio episodes and Pruitt-and-Bird adoption plots 1:25:42 1:28:40 1:33:22. He also uses it as the go-to punchline for status obsession — bitter LA failures who think the world owes them a role on it, Harvard kids who cite it as proof the industry is fine, activists at the Emmys ignoring people under a bridge 48:54 0:58 33:30.
