Apparently, John Carter is not some piece of fly-by-night shit whipped up by Disney and is actually based upon an old pulp novel character from the turn of the century. Why would Disney use something so ancient as source material? Maybe it wanted to conquer the six people left alive […]
True Grit-Most movie remakes are anathema to the original, but True Grit benefits from two facts: 1. John Wayne’s version of the movie came out in 1474 or some equally far-off time, which makes it look horribly dated and 2. Jeff Bridges is awesome, a trend that continues with this […]
For as long as AMC continues to subject viewers to the schlock that is The Walking Dead‘s second season, I’ll continue to subject readers to my equally dreadful episode recaps. And the news from the latest TWD, “18 Miles Out” is that the show is not only as unfocused and […]

There was a marked lack of strife in the Papageorgiou household during Christmas this year, which is odd, because we are a bunch of excitable Greek savages who scream for sport and, during the holidays, even icy-hearted WASPs manage to lock their flaxen horns whilst sipping their scotch or whatever […]
In the pantheon of brilliant television comedies, one show stands above all others. Its name? The Larry Sanders Show. That said, Peep Show (a Britcom, but don’t hold that against it) is in my all-time top five and currently streaming on Netflix, which is a good thing, because the British […]
