At face value, Money Monster appears to be exactly the right movie for the time we live in. A blue-collar worker who loses his life savings in the stock market because he followed the hyperbolic advice of a TV personality and Wall Street analyst demands answers after the stock tanks, costing the company and its investors $800 million. […]

This week, loose ends started to get tied up and characters that had been apart for a while reunited. At […]

Occasionally, Saturday Night Live finds a host who makes the audience forget that they’re not actually a member of the cast. Over the years, hosts like Tom Hanks, Justin Timberlake, and Jon Hamm felt like extensions of the cast when they hosted, and not weak links during sketches. After his second time hosting, Drake should now be […]

(Disclaimer: I will work to make this as spoiler-free as possible, but I have to cover general plot details and events, so if you haven’t seen Captain America: Civil War, I’d recommend you do that right away. It’s that good. If you haven’t seen Batman v Superman, there’s less of a need to do that.) Quick, […]

This week on Dancing With the Stars, America is the fourth judge! Well, for the special team-up routines later in the show anyway. Of course, the “fourth judge” thing is overblown, since the fan vote is always the main factor in determining who stays and who goes. But drama! In an attempt to create suspense […]

At face value, Captain America: Civil War shouldn’t work as a movie. Other superhero franchises have stumbled badly when including far too many characters, resulting in an overstuffed story that has to cater to each important figure in the storyline and eventually buckles under its own weight. Additionally, superhero movies poised as middle chapters intended to […]

Here is our recap of “Home.” Warning: spoilers from the books, theories, and show may be afoot. Since we’re all caught up, it shouldn’t be […]
