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 stuck in your mind for the penultimate episode of Mad Men? How about the most depressing Mother’s Day ever? Thank a […]
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 best exemplar of the spirit of American filmmaking in the 1970s; it’s not the decade’s finest film, but it’s perfectly emblematic […]
“Suicidal Tendencies” has the unenviable task of trying to live up to “Suicide Squad,” season two’s almost perfect Arrow episode that first brought together the titular band of misfits and murderers. It would be easy to fall short, and, well, “Suicidal Tendencies” absolutely does. In the wake of last week’s ersatz Arrow’s killing spree, Starling […]
Run All Night is in the unenviable position of being seen as Taken 4 but with a son instead of a daughter. To illustrate this point, I chose as the banner pic a still of the film that looked the most Taken-y. He’s talking on the phone and everything! But the fact is, Run All […]
It’s not often these days that people can agree on much of anything, but the verdict is nearly unanimous that 2014 was a bad year. Every time you turned around it seemed there was another story of men badly mistreating women (and often getting away with it) or the severe racial injustices that still plague […]
It’s hard to say goodbye to this cycle of America’s Next Top Model but Samir and I push past our emotions to review the two-part finale and welcome a new Top Model winner. Don’t forget to listen to our last ANTM podcast for the season, We Were Rooting For You! And remember, it’s not goodbye, it’s just see you soon. Samir: The moment […]
Since some of you might be walking in a winter wonderland by now (not me though, I live in SoCal and it’s about 80 degrees here, SUCKERS), Margaux and I decided to take a look at 2000’s Snow Day for this week’s Bad Movie Review. This was a terrible, terrible mistake. Trevor: So apparently anything […]
Margaux and I talk mullets and mayhem – it can only be time for The Walking Dead. Trevor: “Self-Help” was a quietly devastating episode of The Walking Dead, and gave us some much-needed insight into the character of Abraham Ford, but I’m just glad so much of its runtime was spent discussing Eugene’s mullet – […]
“The Separation of Crows” was a surprisingly bloodless – and focused – episode of Sons of Anarchy, especially compared to this season’s low point, last week’s “Greensleeves.” It gets off to a good start, with the requisite montage set to a somber bluegrass version of Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower.” (It’s hard to say […]
When I first got the Tablift in the mail I had no idea what it would be all about. I am a casual tablet user (Amazon Kindle Fire HD) and mostly have mine on my desk here at work used like a third screen next to my main PC and Laptop. I do read books […]
Gotham wasted no time getting campy. “The Balloonman” isn’t quite the Day-Glo shlockfest perpetrated by Joel Schumacher, but it’s still problematic because most of the show’s ensemble, especially Ben McKenzie, are still acting as though they’re in a gritty police drama. Which they are, in a way, because that’s how Gotham is structured, but tonight’s […]
In honor of Ben Affleck, who will appear this weekend in David Fincher’s Gone Girl, Margaux suggested that we take a look at 2002’s The Third Wheel. I will never forgive her for it. (Oh, by the way, this installment of BMR will be light on pictures, because after scouring the Internet, I could only […]
