So we saw a big change this week on True Detective. After the epic shootout that capped off the previous episode, there was a time jump of a few months. Unfortunately that jump didn’t see Matthew McConaughey’s Detective Rust Cohle from last season take charge of the case. (What an awesome twist that would be.)…
True Detective ramped up the action this week. We expect brooding police officers and shady business deals, but not usually a full on firefight in the streets with tons of casualties. (Interestingly we got a shootout at the same point last season.) But this fight was just the last little while of the “Down Will…
So, long story short, not dead. The unthinkable cliff-hanger last week, with Ray Velcoro taking two shotgun blasts to the chest, had us all reeling about what this could mean for the rest of the True Detective season. But it turns out he was shot with riot shells meant to seriously slow you down in…
If you happen to have any money left after seeing Jurassic World over and over in June, there is a solid slate of July movies to add to your summer checklist. I doubt any of them will come close to the Indominus Rex sized haul of Jurassic, but we have sequels a plenty. So go…
Just two weeks ago I was recapping the Game of Thrones season finale. Avoiding cross-series spoilers, we fans were questioning a pretty clear death scene. In a world with magic and zombies and stuff, this character couldn’t be dead. Could he? Well now we’re in a world without magic. True Detective just seemingly killed its…
True Detective is quite a beast of a TV show. It teaches us what it takes to be a detective. Firstly, you must be an incredibly screwed up individual. Once you have amassed a collection of inner demons, then you must grow a mustache like Matthew McConaughey’s character from season one of the show and…
I guess we should have seen this coming. I guess the signs pointed in this direction all season long. But even as season five cut to black, I have a really hard time believing that this is the end for our friend Jon Snow. On a show where tons of characters die, I thought he…
Well, we saw a big battle against the White Walkers last week. So it was only natural to expect a bit of a let down with this episode. But, as you know, Game of Thrones pulls out all the stops with the penultimate episode every season. This one was no exception. With a title like…
If you sat out the month of May at the movie theater, you missed a bunch of fun summer movies that delivered on their promises for action, comedy, and plenty of explosions. But it’s okay. Most of those titles are still out for you to enjoy. In the meantime, we have a whole new month…
Season five, the year Game of Thrones the show took a sharp turn away from the books. It’s the year the Internet went nuts with the plot turns of Mance Rayder, Ser Barristan, Ser Jorah, and Sansa. But now it’s also the year that contains an epic battle with the White Walkers. Oh and did…
Were you having a fun, relaxing Memorial Day weekend? Well Game of Thrones put an end to that with stress levels boiling over this week. The first half of episode 7, “The Gift,” had me questioning my devotion to the show as the storylines slapped us in the face repeatedly. But there are a few…
Guys, we’ve all been there. You drive all the way to a comic-con or you spend weeks browsing the web and you finally find that rare item you’ve been looking for. But then, right before you make the purchase, you’re stuck arguing with the seller about the authenticity of dwarf penises. Well that’s what happened…
We saw another new locale in the latest Game of Thrones episode, “Kill the Boy.” But unlike what the title would suggest, none of our characters were directly killed in this chapter. Instead we spent good blocks of time developing multiple storylines. Plus, it was a rare instance where we didn’t visit King’s Landing. Braavos…
So they did it to us again. A show where characters die seemingly every week, has upset us by killing off another character. But if that’s not enough for you, fanatics were militarized, characters we like were imprisoned/ kidnapped, and can that dude just shut up already about opening the fighting pits?! This week’s episode…
May is the unofficial start to summer at the movie theater. With the major studios beginning to roll out their big budget tent-poles, it’s always a fun time. But even with all the varying titles, May is Marvel’s month. Since 2006, movies adapted from Marvel comics have been the top grossing movie of May six…
