I have been vocal about my excitement for the upcoming Christopher Guest mockumentary Mascots. As a firm believer in the fact that Guest’s original trilogy is one of the greatest of all time, the promise of more shenanigans from the gang is too...
Author’s Note: I’ve been considering breaking into the television recap game for some time. With the release of this season of You’re the Worst, I decided now would be the best time to start. I’m not sure how many shows I will be doing this for...
Yesterday I began a rundown of the hosts for this year’s awards season. We have T.J. Miller hosting the Critics Choice Awards, and, to a less exciting degree, we have Jimmy Fallon hosting the Golden Globes. I’m disappointed in that last news due...
I promised that I would provide an update from Venice today, just to give you all a brief view at how La La Land did in its premiere. I’d heard rumblings that it was something special, but I didn’t expect anything near the level of acclaim that...
