I’m always interested when a filmmaker uses some obscure art form as a microcosm for art in general. I’m talking about films like All That Jazz, Inside Llewyn Davis and Top Five, which follow one or several members of a community as they struggle...
Crossover episodes are, thankfully, a dying art. Long gone are the days when Alf would make an appearance on Gilligan’s Island, or Ray Barone and his overbearing mother would run into Kevin James on The King of Queens. However, every so often...
Shocking news today as it has been confirmed that Saturday Night Live’s two leading male performers, Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah have both been released of their contracts starting this upcoming...
If there’s one awards show out there doing things right, I would have to say it’s the Television Critics Awards. Just on the cusp between prestigious and unknown, it rewards simply the best of the best: no “Best Actor, Best Actress, Best...

It would be really easy for me to just cash in and take all of that money that Disney and Marvel are supposedly paying critics to trash DC Movies. That seems like such an easy way to make a living, according to the fanboys currently trying to...
One of the most important shows of the 21st century-and I use no hyperbole here-is Amy Sherman-Palladino’s Gilmore Girls. The homespun piece of Americana filled audiences with warmth from 2001 to 2006 (or 2007, if you count the Palladino-less...
Tragic news tonight as character actor Daniel Huddleston passes away at the age of 85.
If you asked the average person on the street to name a director for you, odds are there are only two that they could actually conjure. The first is Steven Spielberg. The second is Christopher Nolan, the man who brought us Memento, Inception...
