‘Beavis and Butt-head’ Are Back And Better Than Ever

Thirty years have passed since the world was introduced to Beavis and Butt-head in the short segment “Frog Baseball” on the MTV anthology series, Liguid Television. In the short segment, they come off as some crazy pscyhopathic delinquents who use a frog to play baseball. The images of animal abuse wouldn’t fly today and I’mContinue reading “‘Beavis and Butt-head’ Are Back And Better Than Ever”

The Emmys Got It Right Snubbing ‘Reservation Dogs’

The marketing for Reservation Dogs‘ second season seem to showcase what every minute of every episode is like. We see the four characters sitting around looking up at the sky. Then one of them throws a rock or something up in the air. Why? We don’t know. Then she high-fives the person next to her.Continue reading “The Emmys Got It Right Snubbing ‘Reservation Dogs’”

‘The Old Man’ Ends First Season Leaving Us Wanting More

This past weekend, I turned into Hulu to see the latest episode of The Old Man only to find out that there were just seven and there wouldn’t be anymore for a while. The series aired on FX and next day on Hulu, which typically runs eight episodes for a series. Disney-Plus does six. NetflixContinue reading “‘The Old Man’ Ends First Season Leaving Us Wanting More”

King Lear: How One Man More Or Less Changed TV Forever

Television in its infancy had to follow a lot of rules similar to the Hays Code that affected movies. You couldn’t show a toilet on screen. Married couples couldn’t even be seen in bed. And when Lucille Ball got pregnant during I Love Lucy, how the hell would they actually tell millions of viewers sheContinue reading “King Lear: How One Man More Or Less Changed TV Forever”

Saying Goodbye To Two Veteran Actors

Paul Sorvino and David Warner both appeared in the 1997 action comedy Money Talks, but I’m not sure they appeared in the same scene together. They had both guest-starred on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Sorvino and Warner both recently passed away leaving with them both an impressive resume that included many iconic movies thatContinue reading “Saying Goodbye To Two Veteran Actors”

Why ‘Beyond Belief’ Was The Best TV Show You Probably Never Saw

For anyone that grew up during the 1980s and 1990s, there was a push by so many filmmakers and media moguls to make the next best anthology series. In the mid-1980s, CBS tried to revive The Twilight Zone and got The Grateful Dead to do the theme music with everyone from Wes Craven to JohnContinue reading “Why ‘Beyond Belief’ Was The Best TV Show You Probably Never Saw”

We Need To Talk About Eddie Munson

While another Stranger Things season has come and gone, the break-out character has been Eddie Munson. Eddie played remarkably well by British actor Joseph Quinn at first seems like the stereotypical bad boy. He’s in his second year as a senior at Hawkins High School. He deals pot, which isn’t too bad, but very badContinue reading “We Need To Talk About Eddie Munson”

‘Ms. Marvel’ Is Proof The MCU Is Jumping The Shark

It’s only been three years since Avengers: Endgame but it seems like much longer as every time we turn around there is a MCU movie or TV series with no end in sight to what it all means. I think the biggest mistake was using the word “Endgame” as it signifies an ending. But sinceContinue reading “‘Ms. Marvel’ Is Proof The MCU Is Jumping The Shark”

‘Girl In The Picture’ Presents Sad Portrait Of Child Abuse/Sexual Assault

Netflix has been struggling a lot lately and most of their crime documentaries have been nothing more than what you can check out on Wikipedia. Girl in the Picture is a change of pace from the normal multi-part series that Netflix and other streaming services seem to drag out. Keeping at about 100 minutes, thisContinue reading “‘Girl In The Picture’ Presents Sad Portrait Of Child Abuse/Sexual Assault”
