American Horror Story: Coven review – 3×09: ‘Head’

December 12, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

It’s the final episode of AHS: Coven for 2013, so naturally a few characters have to bite the bullet, right (nyuk nyuk)?

Smash review – 2×13: ‘The Producers’

Deal-breaker! That’s it, I am officially annoyed with this season. After a mediocre start to the second season, Smash commits a cardinal sin: killing off a character that I like. Also the writers decide to make one of the worst couples ever to exist on television happen.

Smash review – 2×11: ‘The Dress Rehearsal’

April 14, 2013 by yellowwait

As Bombshell goes into previews, technical difficulties arise and so do ticket sales with the help of a little full frontal. Meanwhile Hit List has some major structural changes a few hours before a big preview. So is Derek (Jack Davenport) a visionary or a jealous old man? Maybe both?

Smash review – 2×09: ‘The Parents’

April 3, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Bernadette Peters returns to reprise her role as Leigh, Ivy’s (Megan Hilty) star-stealing mom, while Dylan Baker swings by to judge Karen (Katherine McPhee) for being a sexually active woman. Can’t these kids catch a break?!

Smash review – 2×08: ‘The Bells and Whistles’

March 27, 2013 by yellowwait

Last week Smash left us with the possibility of a cringe inducing romance. This week, they bring back the yawn inducing one. Sam’s (Leslie Odom Jr.) back. Luckily for us, there’s drama involved. Let’s dish. [Read more…]

He Said/She Said: Smash recap – 1×15: ‘Bombshell’

May 15, 2012 by Bitch Stole My Remote

Karen Cartwright (Katherine McPhee). That’s who was chosen to portray Marilyn Monroe in ‘Bombshell’ as the NBC show Smash closed out its freshman season last night. Looking back, Smash turned out to be more of a shin-splint marathon rather than a quick easy sprint. It never quite recovered the creative footing it kindasorta demonstrated waaaay back in its pilot, and frequently left us shaking our heads, our fists and the clumps of hair we pulled out during moments of (often Ellis inspired) frustration.

At least we knew that we were in good company, though: even The Hulk was creatively dissatisfied going into the finale.

In honour of ‘Bombshell’, we’re doubling up with two bitches instead of one. So how did the finale do?
