Subtle Bluntness

Every Christmas carol deserves a good action sequence! But Patrick Swayze isn’t all inclusive, so let’s try a holiday song for everyone, shall we? To Donnie Most!

Rich and I did the SportsBastards podcast tonight.  I don’t know why, but we seem to have a better, sharper show when there’s a third person involved.  There was no StatGirl tonight, sadly, so it was just us, and the thing seemed to ramble a bit.  Kind of like the blog, but worse, because there’s [...]

Of the new characters introduced in Little Britain, the one that seems to be the least amusing to me is the eighth man on the moon, Bing Gordyn. All the good things I said about the show in my episode 2 review seem to fall by  the wayside when this new addition in on the [...]

I had some issues with Little Britain USA when it debuted, but I don’t think I mentioned some of the positive aspects of it  that I’ve noticed more in the second episode of the series. There are a lot of good things about it that American sketch comedy programs could learn from this show’s example, [...]

Little Britain USA, based on the series Little Britain but set in America and with some new characters, made its debut last night. It was on HBO, thankfully, which means the show could push buttons as hard as they wanted, and carry out jokes to extremes. How did it go? Here’s what I thought in [...]

The best way I could describe The Venture Brothers for the newest Cultelevision article was that it was a show by geeks, for geeks. I mean, the show crams in more references to comic books, music, sci-fi, television, 80′s culture, and pop culture than I could possibly list in 10,000 words. Instead of even trying, [...]

I don’t know what my deal was last week when I did my reviews of Fear Itself episodes 5, Eater, and 6, New Years Day, but I was in exceptionally fine form when it comes to my particular brand of mocking comedy. Especially episode six, the brainchild of Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) and [...]

Here’s the official Fear Itself review for Den of Geek. Well, actually, it’s an explanation of why there is no review of this week’s Fear Itself at DoG, not a review itself. My original review, which you’ll find below, was a bit too… virulent, I suppose, for publication. I don’t blame them for not really [...]

Sure Fear Itself had a rocky first episode, but if you stuck with it like I did, well… you’ve been rewarded. Episode 2 was excellent (and I forgot to link myself here last week when the review went up), and Episode 3, from the pen of Daniel Knauf (creator of Carnivale) was one of the [...]

Like those few folks that watched it, I got burned by Masters of Horror. Badly, I might add, as I tried to defend the show after it was past the point of all reasonable defense and just ended up sounding like a moron. “Hey!” I’d pout. “Dance of the Dead was still pretty good if [...]
