Homeland season 6, episode 2 recap: The Man in the Basement

Homeland continued its sixth season and first primarily in New York City on Sunday with a stronger episode than the premiere, but still weak overall. The second episode of season six entitled “The Man in the Basement” revealed a lot about where season six will take us after a season premiere that didn’t really give viewers many […]

Where could Westworld go for its second season?

It took a very long time for the first season of HBO’s Westworld to grace our television screens. The pilot was shot about a year before the rest of season one was shot. Despite the production issues, Westworld continued on and delivered a strong opening 10 episodes. As a result, the biggest question hovering around the show is simply, where can […]

George R.R. Martin’s The Winds of Winter isn’t coming anytime soon

Game of Thrones is a global phenomenon that, just like with J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter, has made George R.R. Martin a star. Sadly for him, unlike with J.K., fans are really mad at him right now. Back in 2011, A Dance With Dragons was released as the fifth installment in the seven-part book series A Song of Ice […]

Westworld episode 9 recap: The Well-Tempered Clavier

After Westworld‘s seventh episode, actor Jimmi Simpson, who plays William, told TV Line that what would make this season so great is the lack of cliffhangers at the end of it. Presumably, that meant fans could expect all their questions to be answered. Well, episode nine, “The Well-Tempered Clavier,” answered some of the biggest questions viewers […]

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Space Jam, a movie that can’t be matched

On Nov. 15, 1996, Michael Jordan appeared alongside Bugs Bunny and his Looney Tunes cohorts in a movie about basketball in space, something that had never been seen before on movie screens. Let’s wish a Happy 20th Anniversary to the greatest movie ever that featured an athlete as the star: Space Jam. Space Jam was released a couple […]

Westworld episode 7 recap: Trompe L’Oeil

In the previous episode of Westworld, Maeve’s intelligence was raised as high as it could go. During episode seven, “Trompe L’Oeil,” the show went where it had never gone before, blasting open storylines and confirming theories viewers had been waiting for weeks to have solved. Westworld takes a lot of twists and turns every week and […]

Westworld episode 5 recap: Contrapasso

The first season of HBO’s Westworld has reached the halfway point and at this point, the series has asked a lot more questions than it has answered. While that is usually troublesome for a show, the new questions asked every week — and especially during the show’s fifth episode — continue to draw viewers in and […]

Westworld episode 3 recap: The Stray

Westworld started off its first season with two episodes that were mostly filled with introductions. While the first two episodes were strong, the third one blew both out of the water. After getting most of the “world building” and introductions out of the way in the first two episodes, Westworld was able to jump right […]

Westworld episode 1 recap: The Original

After years of production delays, teases, trailers, and anticipation, HBO’s Westworld has finally arrived and the first episode delivered on the hype. Westworld was originally supposed to premiere in 2015, but after a lot of off-screen issues, HBO was forced to push back the premiere to Oct. 2, 2016. Reviews flooded in praising the premiere as […]

Westworld is finally here to hopefully be HBO’s next great show

After years of hype, production delays, and curiosity, HBO’s Westworld is slated to debut on Sunday, Oct. 2 with a star-studded cast as well as one confusing and mind-bending storyline. Westworld is a science fiction thriller based on a 1973 film of the same name and book by Michael Crichton. The show is headlined by an incredible cast that includes Anthony Hopkins, […]

Game of Thrones, season 6, episode 8 recap: No One

Just like the past two episodes, episode eight of Game of Thrones was fairly slow as not many major twists and turns came about like we saw earlier this season with Jon Snow’s resurrection or the death of Hodor. However, this episode did set up massive implications for the rest of season six. Additionally, if anything is […]

For HBO, winter is coming unless network finds post-Game of Thrones hit

Both literally and figuratively, winter is coming for HBO’s original programming. Game of Thrones is more than halfway through its sixth season, but with the showrunners saying there will likely be only two more seasons, what will take its place to lead HBO’s schedule once that “winter” has arrived? More importantly, how did HBO get in such […]
