Let’s join hands and thank god for another season of Louie. After watching the two-episode season premiere, I think what I like best about Louis C.K.’s show “Louie” is – well – there’s not just one thing. For one, it’s always nice when a show doesn’t have a giggle itinerary suggested by some prescription tracked laughter. Then there’s the combination deadpan delivery and deer in the headlights reaction to moronic.. Read More
McConaughey: Trübermensch Detective
Once upon a time, I made the mistake of caving into peer pressure… …and watched the entire season of a dark T.V. series called True Detective – in, like, three days. Now, this isn’t going to be a popular thing to say, but out of all the disturbingly horrible facets of this show (and there’s the worst kind, which I won’t spoil for you by sharing), the most egregious for..

Demamp is divine (Workaholics)
Let’s take a break from cerebral musings for a while, shall we? That’s right. We gon’ lighten shit up with a television show. Now, then: Can we please talk about Workaholics? I never have a chance to actually watch these episodes on T.V. Actually, I’m lying. I have the time, but I’m just too easily distracted and I end up doing something else instead and missing this comedic gold that.. Read More
RetroTweet: Spoiler Alert Addition
On today’s episode of Retro Tweets, I interact with mildly famous Twitter accounts (that is what that blue check means, no?) manned by admins I don’t know: @WhatTheFFacts Did Simon and Garfunkel sue him? — ashley (@Ashley_Olds) February 2, 2014 (The only musical duo that didn’t bore me when they did the whole track to a movie) “@Discovery: All clams are born as males, but can later turn into a..

Answer my Walking Dead questions. Please.
I have an early ass business meeting, so I’mma make this quick before my nap. As season whatever-it-is-now closes, I just have to ask my fellow Dead Walker Watchers: 1. Where are all of these blue, dusty looking zombies coming from? There are stages to death! At least some post mortem skin slippage? Degloving? The body doesn’t just dry up right away after death. There are stages. I want to.. Read More
Let’s Apocalypse! ( A Juxt-expose-ition)
WHO HERE LIKES VICE? For those of you who are unfamiliar with who they are, they are these guys who’ve managed to educate young folk on world events by portraying their journalistic endeavors in a more attractive way: from teaching us about drugs like the “get-anyone-to-do-what-you-say” drug, “Scopolamine”, to “sneaking” inside North Korea. Think “Hipster Christiane Amanpour”. Anyway, they used to make these awesome documentaries for free on Youtube; but.. Read More
Dexter Update Predictions (spoilers)
Oh… Dexter’s getting good! And now that the phantom arsonist dude is dead, the only thing that is on fire now is Deb’s pants… because she’s definitely lying. My girl friend Megan raised some valid points about Dexter predictions for the coming episodes and seasons. We both hope that the romance remains somehow and that they get back together. We both also believe that Hannah was NOT responsible for drugging.. Read More
Dexter: Morgan Minus McKay
Originally, I thought Dexter has to kill Hannah by the season’s end because she doesn’t fit the “redeeming quality” code that a loveable serial killer has to have. She merely kills for thrills and therefore fails to fit the bill. Also, it’d be a total transgression against Deb if she lived on and she and Dex stayed together, so she has to die. The question is “how”. Anyway, I don’t.. Read More
Dexter’s New Girlfriend
I was re-watching last Sunday’s Dexter (missed the first half when it aired) today post work, when I realized two things. First: “Haxter” – for obvious reasons – would make the ideal portmanteau of their names. Second: Although we all imagined how death table sex might be since season one, it wasn’t any less hot once it finally happened. And letter C – As Haxter initiated the wiener waltz, I.. Read More
Dexter 6: Reach Out and …Cut Snakes?
So, it’s only a couple months until season 6 arrives! I don’t have Showtime, so I will have to check it out a day or two late online. If you ruin any episodes for me, plastic sheets are in your future for sure. In any case, I checked out the official promo trailer to see what we could expect. Season 5 was a pit of despair, as Dexter helped Lumen.. Read More
