He Said/She Said Review: Netflix’s THE OPEN HOUSE Is Laughably Inept & Awful

January 26, 2018 by Joe Lipsett

Dylan Minette as Logan in The Open House

In He Said/She Said, critics Joe and Valeska dissect a film in a back and forth email exchange. Previously, we winced and shuddered our way through visceral maternal horror film L’interieur (2007). This time, we’re choosing whether to love or list Netflix original The Open House (2017).

Awake recap – 1×09: ‘Game Day’

April 27, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

This week Awake tries to deliver a bombshell twist outside of its central mythology, but mostly comes up lacking. As much as I appreciate the effort to do something more with Michael’s (Jason Isaacs) personal life (outside of the case of the week), this…is not the direction that I would have chosen.

Awake recap – 1×06: ‘That’s Not My Penguin’

April 6, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

I have a feeling that tonight’s episode of Awake, the thought provoking series about a man living two lives, is going to be rather polarizing. I quite liked it, not only because it wasn’t afraid to ask questions, but because it illustrates that the show is cognizant of the discussions that we, as viewers, are having about the nature of Michael’s (Jason Isaacs) double life.

Awake recap – 1×05: ‘Oregon’

March 30, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

After last week’s iffy episode, it pleases me to no end to see Awake rebound to heights unseen since its pilot as ‘Oregon’ proves to be quietly emotional. Oh sure, the police procedural component is familiar, but it is also exciting and reinforces some of the questions viewers have had about the series thus far.

Awake recap – 1×04: ‘Kate Is Enough’

Another week of dual lives is upon us as Michael (Jason Isaacs) tries to understand his emotionally distant son, who has begun acting out…though if you’ve watched these in order, it’s not for the reasons that you expect.
