If you’re a fan of HTGAWM, you know that surprise plot twists are to be expected. You never take anything at face value, and you can’t believe much of anything that anyone says. That’s always been part of the show’s appeal. So we can’t really pretend to be shocked by the fact that Emmett Crawford…
Tesla Motors went through the wringer last year. They’re back in 2019 stronger than ever. With a lineup of innovations and a goal of an affordable Model 3, your wallet will beg to come play. Tough Love for Tesla in 2018 Employee cuts, labor disputes, and a shuffling of leadership at Tesla Motors has plagued…
Every week, the folks at iTunes find a movie they like and make it available to rent for the low, low price of $0.99. I’m here to tell you whether that film is worth your hard-earned dollar. This week, a desperate father races against the clock to find his missing daughter in Searching. I’m About…
The number one best tech for college is a smartphone. You can’t so much as make a step without it in the modern world, and apps make studying easier. So, you’re out of the stage when you need personal statement help and are waiting to get enlisted? You’re probably wondering what are the gadgets that…
We’re now into the back half of Gotham’s final season, and I have to admit that I wasn’t blown away by this week’s installment. Of course, neither was anyone else (literally), which is part of the problem. You can generally rate Gotham episodes based on the number and size of explosions, and we only get…
As we progress through the storyline, a lot of gaps are starting to be filled in. There was still not enough Beast Boy, but at least we got to see him. And we got some more insight into Robin’s childhood and his relationship with Bruce Wayne. We ended episode two with Starfire showing up and…
I am being, perhaps, a bit reductive – and I hope you can forgive it, should that prove to be the case – in saying that the superhero genre is primarily built on the backs of isolated do-gooders, working to protect the innocent, preserve the world, save the kittens, you get the idea. This isn’t…
Our planet’s narrative has taken some pretty shocking turns in the past decade. Weird things are happening around the world. Politics are more of a farce, our planet is in danger from environmental misuse, and leaders seem to be doing little about it. It is like our show has been cancelled. The writers of Earth…
There is only one episode left in season three of True Detective, and I think, at last, I may understand the mania that compels Wayne Hays. He is seeing the Purcell case through, not because he wants to or takes any real pleasure in it at this point, but because he needs to see how…
On the other side, now, having spent the weekend effectively binge-ing the whole of The Umbrella Academy, season one, I briefly considered letting myself off the episodic hook and writing an overview of the season as a whole. But that ultimately seemed like the coward’s way out and this is no country for the timid….

Co-directed by Rashida Jones and Alan Hicks, and winner, just last week, of the Grammy Award for Best Music Film, Quincy (released by Netflix in September of 2018) is a documentary about the extraordinary life of Quincy Jones, a man whose amazing artistic career spans seven decades in music, film, TV, and even printed media. The…
Just in case you didn’t get enough of the holidays last December, HTGAWM gives us a Christmas episode in February. I’ll admit I had lost track of the in-universe time, so I was a little confused when I saw the decorations and assumed this was another flashback or flash-forward the show makes such great use…
My goths! My nerds! And especially those of you who fall into that sweet, soft section of the Venn diagram where the two overlap, rejoice, The Umbrella Academy is here, and it is as delightfully loopy and bonkers as we all hoped it would be. In a landscape where it is no more incisive than…
Last week, Bob’s Burgers celebrated Valentine’s Day by focusing on the show’s main romantic couple—Bob and Linda. And while the two of them seemed to hit a rough patch at just the wrong time, they were able to work through it and make the best of the holiday. Because adults in committed relationships are usually…
