I still haven’t finished the Sons of Anarchy finale, but you know what I did see? An interview. With Charlie Hunnam. Using his real accent. The one I didn’t know he had. As I started hearing him relay an anecdote about his house getting burgled in this Christopher Walken meets British royal voice, I had one of those moments of what the Toltec’s called “mitote” and modern people call cognitive..

SOA’s “Final Ride”: Ugh. Are we theeere yeeet???
Okay I’m just going to say it. Sons of Anarchy was awesome for several seasons. But as the “Final Ride” finale draws near, this show is fccking depressing me so much that I can’t even eat my feelings over what a disappointment it is. Generally, I’ll sit there gnawing away nervously at a bowl of delicious berries as I watch grizzled grown men attend meetings in their “No girls allowed!”.. Read More
9 ways life would improve if it emulated AdventureTime
A year ago I started watching AdventureTime. Then I stopped somewhere mid-season 1. I couldn’t for the life of me remember why I’d stopped seeing this epic show – until I took it up again this past month. And that reason is because it’s so good that it’s not only highly addictive, but also has a million and one things we all need to learn from (so much so that.. Read More
Walking Dead: I can’t this season.
I can’t watch “Walking Dead” anymore. Not the way this season’s going. I know. I know, Carl. Me, the bish who thrives on Romero, has memorized every line of “House of 1,000 corpses” and “Devil’s Rejects”, and knows more fun facts about Bundy than she probably should – can’t seem to watch her favorite show this season without spacing apart episodes. That’s right. There’ll be no series binging for this.. Read More
I’m going Chris Crocker over these ‘murican remakes.
I’m going Chris Crocker over here with mah British stories. Although I love, love, love Steve Carrell, Rainn Wilson, and whoever else is in the American version of “The Office”, I have to jump on the British hipster bandwagon (is that ironic? That a “hipster bandwagon” is something that exists now?) and admit: the American version cannot touch the British version. “Leave Brit T.V. aloooone!!!1” I remember seeing the O.G… Read More
The real reason “Thriller” kept me up at night as a child.
I’m not yet prepared to watch The Walking Dead premiere yet. So, no spoilers, thx. When I like a show such as this one, I typically wait, save up all the episodes, and then (instead of taking a holiday – or even weekly weekend off like most normal folk) I allot a personal holiday at home for binging on that show. Dark as “Dead” might be, it’s easier to not.. Read More
I always knew the Rev from 7th Heav. was a Chester
I did my first half of college at a Jesuit University. Not because I follow or followed a Christian religion, mind you, but because it was located in New Orleans – far away from home and where they serve minors. However, my second year found me living in a suite with a buncha zealots. And aside from parading crucifixes around our common area walls, they also made use of those.. Read More
True Detective… true story?! Yeesh…
Quick question, True Detective watchers: Did you die slightly inside as you marathon viewed this dark albeit very quotable series? And did you liven back up by reminding yourself, “It’s not real” (as you switched to SuperSoul Sunday reruns for the next week to layer over the viscous sickness that infected your soul’s bloodstream somewhere around the finale)? Well, get prepared for a secondary death. Because it is real. It.. Read More
Root for the villain: Dexterrrrr
… tonight we root for Dexter. Or, ya know. We can just start now while it’s still sunny. Mmmyes. The creators of Dexter got this so very right – and they did an epic job of laying the emotional groundwork from the outset. Season one, episode one shoots an empathy arrow straight into the cardiac cavity of the audience watching with bated breath. It would be quite an undertaking to.. Read More
Blue’s Clues’ Steve left because of his hair not heroin.
Remember Blue’s Clues? When I was a kid, I had this quilted stuffed dog with button eyes I called “Blue Dog” (at eight, my creative think-outside-the-box skills were quickly formulating, obviously). So, naturally, I thought it was the coolest thing when there was a T.V. show about my cotton filled canine made of bedcovers – giving out clues. Then, Steve’s hosting of it ended. And it did so in a.. Read More
