Halt and Catch Fire review: “Giant”
Margaux and I loved this week’s crazy-ass edition of Halt and Catch Fire. Trevor: So Gordon is losing his goddamn mind. What a weird subplot. Honestly it felt straight out….
The Leftovers review: “Two Boats and a Helicopter”
Here’s the joke from which the third episode of The Leftovers gets its title: So there’s this huge flood one day, and an entire town looks like it’s going to….
