Community: “Basic RV Repair and Palmistry”

T. Dawson May 13, 2015

My god, what an infuriating episode of Community. I hate giving this show bad reviews, because it’s always been the shaggy dog story that the whole Internet can get behind. But even our favorite shows can...

Battle Creek “Stockholm”

B. Simmons May 11, 2015

It figures that the week this episode ran, CBS announced that they were shitcanning Battle Creek, along with a few other shows. This is despite Battle Creek pulling in respectable numbers for its slot,...

Mad Men: “The Milk and Honey Route”

T. Dawson May 11, 2015

Margaux and I talk last night’s depressing Mad Men. Trevor: Don is just becoming a full-on hobo at this point. I’d be surprised if he’s not introducing himself as Dick Whitman next week. Margaux: Really, that’s what...

Game of Thrones: “Kill the Boy”

T. Dawson May 11, 2015

It takes a lot for Game of Thrones to bore me, but here we are. I’m not one of those people who only watches the show for tits and dragons, but I need something to happen – is...

Transformers: Robots in Disguise “True Colors”

B. Simmons May 9, 2015

Most episodes of Transformers: Robots in Disguise up until now have been sort of “monster of the week” affairs. So it’s nice to occasionally get something that moves things forward. Things start out with...

Adventure Time “Graybles 1000+”

B. Simmons May 8, 2015

It’s another anthology episode of Adventure Time. I’d argue that their strength is that they don’t dwell on any one character for too long. Well, except for this time. This episode doesn’t begin with...

Arrow: “This Is Your Sword”

T. Dawson May 7, 2015

Arrow has done such a marvelous job of slowly tightening the noose around Oliver Queen. The road has been occasionally bumpy, but I can’t recall the last time I felt such immediate stakes. What the...

The Flash “Grodd Lives”

B. Simmons May 6, 2015

Episodes of The Flash have been getting more and more dense as we approach the season finale, and I mean that in the best way. I get the feeling that they won’t be disappointing...

RuPaul’s Drag Race: Season 7, “Prancing Queens” + Untucked Episode 10

Margaux & Samir May 6, 2015

“The Prancing Queens” – Almost a misleading title considering that this episode saw RuPaul delving into the early genderfuck drag phase of her career, with another challenge that proved this show is taking drag...

Community: “Grifting 101”

T. Dawson May 6, 2015 1 Comment

The Sting is one of my favorite movies of all times. My brother and I have watched and bonded over it several times since we first saw it about ten years ago. It’s probably the...

Gotham: “All Happy Families Are Alike”

T. Dawson May 5, 2015

Let’s see, what’s the best way to sum up Gotham‘s season finale? Oh, here we go: this was a stupid episode and I hated every second of it. Gotham was uneven from the get-go, but during its...

Battle Creek “Gingerbread Man”

B. Simmons May 4, 2015

Oh man, this episode, guys. It goes everywhere. Little bit of comedy, little bit of drama. Sometimes it chucks both in a blender, and you feel bad about it. The episode starts off with...
