Television Review: “Swamp Thing” — I Think We Love You?

Swamp Thing is downright ornery, at times questioning political and corporate power as well as environmental protections.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Sarah Osman, Swamp Thing, The CW

Film Review: The Soulful Comic Legacy of John Belushi

Belushi is a warts-and-all look at one of comedy’s raging bulls.

By: David Stewart Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review, Television Tagged: Belushi, David Stewart, documentary, John Belushi, R.J. Cutler, Saturday Night Live

WATCH CLOSELY: “Lovecraft Country” — Blackness, Blackness, All Is Blackness

Lovecraft Country is quite a thrill ride at times, its heady balance of realism and fantasy spiced up with an intoxicating dose of science fiction and time travel.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Television Tagged: Charlotte Sieling., Helen Shaver, Lovecraft Country, Peg Aloi

Television Review: “Emily in Paris” — Sacré Bleu!

This is clearly a version of Paris written by ignorant Americans for ignorant Americans.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Darren Star, Emily in Paris, Lily Collins, Sarah Osman

Television Review: “Filthy Rich” — Crass Warfare

For fans of novellas, Filthy Rich will be a trashy guilty pleasure.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Filthy Rich, FOX, Kim Cattrall

Television Review: “Pen15” — Season Two Amps up the Angst of Adolescence

Considering how dark 2020 is, it is a good time for a lighthearted remembrance of things past, before the pandemic.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Anna Konkle, Maya Erskine, PEN15, Sarah Osman

TV Review: “Ratched” — A Sensational Sartorial Folly

Ratched is lurid, violent, sexually explicit, outrageous, and has nothing whatsoever to do with Ken Kesey’s novel or Milos Forman’s award-winning film adaptation.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Peg Aloi, Ratched, Ryan Murphy, Sarah Paulson

Television Review: “Aggretsuko” — The Season Three Blues

For some reason, Aggretsuko riffs on Japanese idols in its third season, and the shift makes the show less appealing.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Aggretsuko, Retsuko, Sarah Osman, The OTM Girls

Television Review: “Class Action Park” — The Most Dangerous Place on Earth

Visitors (of all ages?) were invited to drink copious amounts of liquor and possibly get laid. This was as close to Pinnochio‘s Pleasure Island as they were ever going to get.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Action Park, Class Action Park, Gene Mulvihill, HBO, Sarah Osman, The Most Insane Amusement Park Ever

Television Review: “Howard” — Homage to One of the Greatest Artists of the 20th Century

The great lyricist behind the Disney renaissance receives a moving tribute.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Disney, Howard, Howard Ashman, Sarah Mina Osman
