The Walking Dead The Walking Dead 4.8: “We need this prison” The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 8 recap The showdown. It happened. But That Thing DIDN’T. Legit disappointed. We’ve been cheated out of our Red Wedding! I Skype-watched this with my buddy RB, who is a fighter pilot in the Navy. I wanted his tactical assessment of the By Sarah • Dec 02, 2013 08:56 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Muppets are back to cute you to death I dare you to watch the trailer for Muppets Most Wanted and not smile. It’s impossible. Like The LEGO Movie, this is un-cynical filmmaking at its best, and you cannot sit through Ty Burrell’s terrible French accent and the “badge off” and not laugh. A sequel to 2011’ By Sarah • Nov 27, 2013 01:08 pm
The Walking Dead The Walking Dead 4.7: “I’m running things now” The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 7 recap Name correction from last week’s episode. The lady the Governor hooked up with is Lilly, not Melody. Chronic name blindness strikes again. Also, this week’s episode is titled “Dead Weight”. That’s not, like, foreboding at all. (Name that reference. By Sarah • Nov 25, 2013 08:25 am
Sarah Silverman Sarah Silverman’s bad career move Sarah Silverman is a very funny comic who has written a best-selling book, performs sold out stand-up tours, features regularly in film and television, and is a fixture on comedy specials such as Stand Up 2 Cancer, Just For Laughs, and Comedy Central roasts.

The Walking Dead The Walking Dead 4.6: “Cross my heart” The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 6 recap After the cliffhanger reveal of the Governor in last week’s episode, this week we get to spend the whole hour catching up on what the Governor has been up to since the collapse of Woodbury.

Movie Reviews and Previews Darren Aronofsky’s Biblical epic I know it’s a real movie. We have trailers—proof!—that it’s a real movie. But the idea of Darren Aronofsky making a movie about Noah and the Ark seems like a parody. Like a fake movie from an SNL bit, like the Wes Anderson horror movie, or By Sarah • Nov 15, 2013 11:01 am
Career prospectus Career Prospectus: Josh Hartnett (Please click here for previous installments of Sarah’s Career Prospectus.) We’ve received several requests for a Josh Hartnett career prospectus, which makes sense as one of the first things that comes up when you Google “Josh Hartnett” is “Josh Hartnett career over”, followed by “whatever happened to Josh By Sarah • Nov 14, 2013 03:13 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Only-Somewhat-Mighty-Thor There was a lot riding on the box office of Thor: The Dark World, namely that Marvel/Disney spent something like $300 million to make and market the movie, and it serves as a more realistic gauge for what the “Avengers bounce” is really going to be. Nothing in the By Sarah • Nov 11, 2013 10:14 am
The Walking Dead The Walking Dead 4.5: “Not everyone gets to live” The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 5 recap After last week’s very good episode, being stuck in the prison this episode feels a little stagnant and less interesting, but a slow start builds up to a great climax as the threats inside and outside the prison coalesce at the By Sarah • Nov 11, 2013 09:14 am
Media Manipulation At long last, Wonder Woman? Maybe. Variety is reporting that three actresses have been tapped to screen test for a role in Zack Snyder’s Batman vs. Superman, which is being billed as a Man of Steel sequel but feels very much like a pre-cursor to a Justice League movie. The three actresses are Olga By Sarah • Nov 08, 2013 01:33 pm
TV Updates What happened to John’s comedy mustache? The teaser for Sherlock, series 3, introduced us to John Watson’s comedy mustache, but the BBC has released the first still from the upcoming season and the comedy mustache is nowhere to be seen. What happened to it? Why was it shaved? WHY WAS IT GROWN? Forget blackmailers and By Sarah • Nov 05, 2013 01:08 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Thor 2 premiere was a sausage fest Lainey was hoping that RDJ would show in support of Thor: The Dark World at its LA premiere—not unreasonable, given he supported Captain America back in 2011—but Marvel typically only hooks one franchise outlier per premiere; they don’t clog their red carpets. So when Jeremy Renner showed By Sarah • Nov 05, 2013 10:22 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Rooting for Thor It was Hiddlemas Eve in Los Angeles last night as the Thor: The Dark World press tour wound to a close with the US premiere of the movie ahead of opening on Friday.

Movie Reviews and Previews Only Lovers Left Alive is funny? After premiering at Cannes and screening at TIFF, Only Lovers Left Alive, aka the vampire movie with Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton, finally has a trailer. And it looks funny, maybe?

The Walking Dead The Walking Dead 4.4: “Then you change” The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 4 recap. One thing I love on The Walking Dead is when they get outside wherever they’re holed up (prison, farm, Woodbury) and we get to see what the world looks like as the zombie apocalypse progresses.

Movie Reviews and Previews American Hiddlemas As we enter our third week of Hiddlemas, celebrations move to America as the patron saint himself, Saint Tom the Huge Dork, has come to ring in the festivities by, what else, being a huge dork.
