‘Simpsons’ Treehouse Episode Proves The Show Can Still Work When They Try

The Simpsons haven’t been great in years. I think I even heard of an recent episode where they made Lenny a figment of Carl’s imagination. As Moe would say, “WAAAAA??!!!” Didn’t they learn their lesson from messing with Principal Seymour Skinner? So, when I watched the recent Treehouse of Horror Halloween show, I wasn’t anticipatingContinue reading “‘Simpsons’ Treehouse Episode Proves The Show Can Still Work When They Try”

Best ‘Simpsons’ Halloween Episode Ever

Granted the heyday of The Simpsons are over and have been over before the line “Simpsons Did It” became part of pop culture phrases. Not many TV shows last as long as The Simpsons now in its 34th season and for very good reason. The show has lost a lot of its touch and itContinue reading “Best ‘Simpsons’ Halloween Episode Ever”

‘The Watcher’ Gives Us Nothing To See Here, Keep Browsing

Netflix’s The Watcher plays like a hybrid of Ryan Murphy fanfiction and it’s own nonsensical multiple-episode documentaries that don’t have a resolution. There are seven episodes in this series and you could’ve spent no more than seven minutes looking online at the true story on which it is based to get the whole story. InContinue reading “‘The Watcher’ Gives Us Nothing To See Here, Keep Browsing”

Velma Comes Out In ‘Trick Or Treat Scooby-Doo!’

Velma Dinkley was supposed to be the ying to Daphne Blake’s yang. She was the book-smart, more logical one to Daphne’s All-American cheerleader preppy girl archetype. In many ways, people have said the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? modeled its characters after the characters from The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. You can see theContinue reading “Velma Comes Out In ‘Trick Or Treat Scooby-Doo!’”

How ‘Thriller’ Set The Standard For Music Videos

Before I begin this, let me do a preface similar to the Thriller video that I’m not a fan of Michael Jackson following the sexual abuse allegations. I also think John Landis should have taken more responsibility for his actions. Vic Morrow and two Vietnamese child actors lost their lives 40 years ago because LandisContinue reading “How ‘Thriller’ Set The Standard For Music Videos”

‘Werewolf By Night’ Brings Horror To The MCU

Without a doubt, the MCU had benefitted a lot in the last two years from the Disney-Plus streaming service. The Covid-19 pandemic threw the MCU into a mess with Phase 4 was supposed to be a new beginning following the Infinity Saga. While the question remains exactly where it’s all headed, it’s likely the MCUContinue reading “‘Werewolf By Night’ Brings Horror To The MCU”

‘Dark Night Of The Scarecrow’ Excels As Made-For-TV Horror/Thriller

Dark Night of the Scarecrow is a reminder of a bye-gone era in which made-for-TV movies were just as good as what was shown in the theaters. You have Brian’s Song and Duel which both proved to be such hits that they were shown in theaters with Duel getting additional footage shot by a youngContinue reading “‘Dark Night Of The Scarecrow’ Excels As Made-For-TV Horror/Thriller”

What’s The Deal With ‘Andor?’

When they were pitching the idea for what would become Seinfeld, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld called it a show about nothing. I think they used the same pitche when they told Disney-Plus about Andor. Five episodes in to what is a reported 12-episode season and this show has abosutely nothing going on with it.Continue reading “What’s The Deal With ‘Andor?’”
