For six years, Marc Maron has hosted a podcast, WTF. The show has become so popular and influential that this past summer, President Barack Obama sat down in Maron’s garage — which doubles as his studio — for a chat. During a discussion at a New Yorker Festival event last month, Maron let the audience […]

The Flash hasn’t slowed down in becoming the best superhero show on television. This season, we’ve seen the introduction of many new characters. We’ve met Detective West’s new partner Patty Spivot, Firestorm’s new half Jax Jackson, the future Hawkgirl Kendra Saunders, and even King Shark has made an appearance. But the most interesting new character […]

Do you like Bradley Cooper? I like Bradley Cooper. So if you’re in that camp, you’ll probably like Burnt. It’s a showcase for Cooper, which shouldn’t be a surprise if you’ve seen the posters that only feature him standing in a restaurant kitchen wearing his chef’s whites and a “Do you feel lucky, punk?” glare with arms […]

At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, Deadpool has a chance to be a comic book superhero movie unlike any we’ve ever seen. Not necessarily because of anything shown on screen or a different take on such a story, but rather a mindset and sensibility that creates a distinct take on the genre. Ryan Reynolds, writers Rhett […]

You knew Jon Stewart couldn’t stay out of the game too long. Or maybe he could only take so much of the farm life after leaving The Daily Show. As first reported by Variety‘s Cynthia Littleton, Stewart has inked a four-year production deal with HBO during which he’ll create short-form digital content for the network. […]

We may be skewing to a small audience with this one, but if you’re a fan of Paul Westerberg, The Replacements or Juliana Hatfield, here’s some news that may excite you. Hatfield and Westerberg are collaborating on a new project, which should delight fans of 1990s indie rock. We are the I Don’t Cares –our […]

It took 27 episodes to finally break me, but two weeks ago I finally decided that Gotham was a waste of my time. I could probably list a couple dozen times that I should have called it quits, but the fifth episode of the second season, “Scarification,” contained a scene that was the last straw. […]

When The Hollywood Reporter posted news on Monday morning of a new Star Trek series in development, it was difficult not to be skeptical. Bryan Fuller tried to launch an all-new Star Trek show a few years ago, before producing Hannibal, but Paramount didn’t want a TV series on at the same time it was […]

Sunday night during The Walking Dead, AMC premiered the trailer for its upcoming show Preacher, based on the DC Comics/Vertigo series. Fans of the comic book and those who enjoy the sort of television AMC has been creating in recent years are surely anticipating the new series, produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Dominic […]

I’m a slasher-movie aficionado; I always have been since I can remember. If they have a mask on their face or a burn terribly disfiguring, you can bet that I’m in the front row on the first showing. However, I hadn’t seen My Bloody Valentine until recently, and I don’t know how this unrefined Canadian gem […]

The Saturday afternoon horror movie was a staple in the lives of many young Americans during the last half of the 20th century. The movies presented were rarely anything better than a schlocky, B-Grade horror movie with most of the good stuff (blood, gore, profanity, and nudity) edited out. But we sat there, and wasted perfectly […]

“Find The Truth.” It’s a direction often used in acting classes to guide actors into discovering the basics motivations and traits of their characters. It’s also used for writers and directors to understand the true essence of a scene. Work based on true stories have been with us for as long as anyone can remember. […]

I have a recurring fantasy about Bill Murray, whom I have termed the American Loki. No, not the Asgardian from the Thor movies, but the god of mischief. He pops in where he’s most needed, then fades away, leaving wonder and bemusement. Anyway, I am walking along my San Fernando Valley street when a black […]

The central conceit of The Grinder (Tuesdays, 8:30, Fox) is a TV show where Rob Lowe’s character is a hard-charging lawyer who makes inspiring speeches and brilliant deductions, has a nervous foil who tries to play things by the book, hits on his workplace love interest, and always comes through in the case of the […]

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have done a fine job hosting the Golden Globe Awards for each of the past three years. But as hilarious and biting as those two can be, there was never quite the fear of the show going off the rails or something completely uncomfortable happening. Not like when Ricky Gervais […]
