John Hodgman, who refuses to retire, has today released his Netflix special, RAGNAROK, which is streaming 24 hours a day at no extra charge for subscribers.

RAGNAROK, by the way, is a Norse word meaning “Netflix won’t promote my special because I gave it such a stupid fucking name.”

Actually, the special is a taped live stage performance that Hodgman did in Brooklyn last December, concerning all of the end-of-days fervor perpetrated by those dishonest Mayans. There will likely be a lot of sorta funny stories about obscure shit, and it may also be an opportunity to watch a lavishly overcompensated man have a midlife crisis onstage. Still, I root for the big lug, so I’ll be streaming tonight. I hope you will as well.

But why, you ask, should we be supporting the affable front for evil corporations? Well, technically Hodgman isn’t solely responsible for Bangladesh. There are other players who must also be brought to justice. Hanging is too good for them all.•
