Revenge recap – 1×17: ‘Doubt’

April 19, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Hey folks, remember six weeks ago when we were watching this great nighttime soap loosely based on The Count of Monte Cristo that starred that chick from Everwood and Brothers & Sisters? Obviously you do or else why would you be here? But you’d be forgiven if you had forgotten, since it’s been forevah since the last episode of the most addictive new TV show this season!

Let’s dig in…and dish out some REVENGE [Read more…]

Ringer recap – 1×22: ‘I’m The Good Twin’

April 18, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Back in the fall, Ringer was on most people’s radar with the return of Sarah Michelle Gellar playing dual roles in a taut, psychological thriller. The show was broody, soapy and adult. It had a great supporting cast. Fast forward twenty-two episodes later as Ringer airs its finale as a bubble show with a questionably murky future. This might be the last time I ever get to gently mock the show! Oh Ringer! Sniff…

Smash recap – 1×11: ‘The Movie Star’

April 17, 2012 by tvangie

It was another frustrating episode this week on Smash, riddled with plot points that no one really cares about. There were a couple of saving graces, but on the whole, this episode was a dud.

Lost Girl recap – 2×01: ‘Something Wicked This Fae Comes’

Boy, the events of the season finale of Lost Girl feel like they just happened yesterday. Alright…maybe it was last week. Thanks to the miracle of Syfy picking up the show for the second season, which just happens to already be in the can, we simply carry on this week without pause!

Girls recap – 1×01: ‘Pilot’

April 17, 2012 by yellowwait

The much hyped and long-awaited new show, Girls, by indie darling Lena Dunham, premiered Sunday night on HBO and it seems like people are losing their shit over it. Welcomed to almost unanimous acclaim, including Executive Producer and Comedy Spiritual Adviser Judd Apatow, there seems to be a lot riding on this little show.

But let’s put all of that aside and really get into it. [Read more…]

Mad Men recap – 5×04: ‘Signal 30’

April 16, 2012 by tvangie

This week on Mad Men it was all about Pete’s (Vincent Kartheiser) shameful descent from his self-made pedestal, culminating in one of the most hilarious moments of the entire series.

Let’s take a closer look after the jump…

GCB recap – 1×08: ‘Pride Comes Before A Fall’

April 16, 2012 by yellowwait

It seems that our little show has found its stride, as this week’s episode delivers one of the most entertaining hours of GCB’s first season. Despite a few hiccups, the show treats us to hilarious musical numbers, a mud fight, and Diva-Off 2012.

Game Of Thrones recap – 2×03: ‘What Is Dead May Never Die’

April 16, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of HBO

I can say without a doubt that Game Of Thrones is my most difficult show to recap. Probably because it feels like there is so much going on and there are so many characters that it’s a struggle to do more than simply reiterate what happens in each episode. So let’s give this third episode, ‘What Is Dead May Never Die’ the good ole’ fashioned try since it handily broke the action down to a few key places.

Let’s bitch it out!

Fringe recap – 4×18: ‘The Consultant’

April 15, 2012 by tvangie

Courtesy of FOX

A generally quiet episode this week, Fringe takes some time to lay the groundwork for the season finale. We spend most of our time on ‘the other side’ this week, as we get the return of Jared Harris’ smooth and diabolically evil David Robert Jones, as well as some serious face time with Lance Reddick (playing Tight T-shirt (TTS) Broyles) – much to my delight.

Let’s take a close look after the jump.

Film Review: Cabin In The Woods

April 14, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Cabin In The Woods is the new horror film from Buffy, The Vampire Slayer collaborators Joss Whedon and Drew Godard. Expectations (and hype) are high after well-received festival screenings and the pedigree of the behind the scenes talent (which includes A Nightmare On Elm Street‘s Heather Langenkamp?!).

In the interest of those people who have seen the film and those who haven’t,  I’m going to do an unconventional thing: I’ve written two reviews. The first half of the following piece is for people who want a quick review to decide whether or not to see the film. The second half is for people who have seen the finished product.
