With the new season of Fleabag edging towards our collective arseholes, you might be wondering how one could top such a lurid display as the first. The 6 episode flirtation with our glorious leader was equal parts beguiling and bedraggled. The very first scene that lit the fire anon: witnessing a late-night triste with a…
Doing the right thing isn’t always easy. And it can be downright painful when you know that what you should do to benefit someone else is probably going to make things worse for you. But you suck it up and do it anyway because, deep down, you know that helping a friend is more important…
It will be difficult to discuss much about the most recent episode of What We Do in the Shadows beyond the absolute, sterling brilliance of the guest stars. The good news is that the plot is relatively streamlined to best showcase those guest stars. The bad news is none bad news. It’s all good news….
So it all went down. A bunch of main characters died brutally this week. The lines have become so murky, it’s impossible to tell who the good guys are now. Well either way, it’s tough to make the case that the woman who burnt an entire city alive is the hero. The siege of King’s…
The Good Fight Season 3, Episode 9: “The One Where the Sun Comes Out” There’s nothing worse than being stuck. Maybe you find yourself in a personal or professional situation that feels hopelessly miserable but that you can’t seem to get out of. Or maybe you’re just frustrated with current events and the rampant inequities…
Killing Eve Season 2, Episode 6: “I Hope You Like Missionary!” It’s no secret that Eve and Villanelle have much more in common than the former would like to admit. It’s been a central theme of the entire series, but it’s becoming much more obvious as the second season has progressed. Ever since Paris, Eve’s…
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, Ethan Hunt and Team IMF save the world from tyranny – yet again – in Mission: Impossible…
Based on the book The Runaway Species: How Human Creativity Remakes The World, authored by composer Anthony Brandt and neuroscientist David Eagleman, The Creative Brain is a 2018 documentary that Netflix made available for streaming on April 16. Eagleman is a New York Times bestselling author who wrote and hosted the documentary series The Brain…
Somewhere in the back of your mind, there’s a memory of that one bizarre TV show you can’t remember the name of. It could be right here in this post! And if it’s not, one of these will satisfy your itch for a truly strange television program. All of these were so far ahead of…
Unless you’re one of those rare individuals who’s never struggled with self-esteem issues, you know what it’s like to want to be accepted. As children, we just want to belong somewhere—anywhere—and have people like us. And even though we grow up, get jobs, get married, and have kids of our own, that “I just don’t…
It seems a bit absurd to make this qualification, given that What We Do in the Shadows is a show about vampires – subject matter that usually falls readily into the macabre territory – but damn, the latest episode is a dark twenty minutes of television. A thoroughly enjoyable twenty minutes to my sensibilities, but…
And here I was thinking the brutality of last week’s episode would lead to some type of win for the audience as we enter the second half of the final season. I guess we have to remember that this is Game of Thrones after all. After a fun little feast, things go wrong and then…
The first season of Killing Eve introduced us to the world of the female serial killer, which, for whatever reason, is kind of an unusual thing. We also met a woman who, through her own research, had become one of the leading authorities on the subject, and she was able to identify, track down, develop…
Any successful relationship involves a certain amount of compromise. Chances are that, if you have a significant other in your life, the two of you don’t agree on everything. In fact, there are probably some things on which you have strikingly different viewpoints. And that’s usually a big part of what makes the relationship work—I…
In all likelihood the highest grossing movie of May will be Avengers: Endgame, which of course was released in April. But don’t let that distract you from the gems that are among the May movie list. It’s a big list. There’s definitely a “diamond in the rough” joke to be made here with Aladdin coming…
