What do you like besides Rik Mayall & The Young Ones?

- by in Headline, Personalities, Popcorn

I loved The Young Ones. I actually thought they were an MTV creation and the existence of that show was one of the many reasons MTV was awesome. I rarely saw my people represented in film and, despite its over-the-top comedy, The Young Ones reflected my real life experience far more than most depictions of […]

Doctor Who, Episode 713: The Name of the Doctor

- by in Headline, Popcorn

Errata: I largely dismissed a Gaiman-written ep last week without rousing any sort of complaint or protest. I started this season by wrongly identifying a voice actor and that was a crime. Don’t you people have any standards? Our finale episode of Doctor Who opens with a reeling orgy of fan service, with Clara time-shifting […]

Doctor Who, Episode 712: Nightmare in Silver

- by in Headline, Popcorn

This week’s episode of Doctor Who opens on the set where Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landing, which has been preserved at Pinewood studios under quarantine as part of an implacable, ossified turf war between a bunch of scary old spooks in MI5 and the NSA. Kidding, it’s some sort of interstellar carnival ride thing […]

Doctor Who, Episode 711: The Crimson Horror

- by in Headline, Popcorn

We open our merry Victorian episode of Doctor Who on the set of the Every Sperm is Sacred number from Monty Python’s Meaning of Life. Or as it’s better known, Yorkshire. Edmund has resolved to get to the bottom of this dark and queer business, and rushes off behind the door with the red glow. […]

Foxes Gone Wild

- by in Headline, Popcorn

I got a free six month Hulu subscription when I replaced my first gen TiVo with a new one. The new TiVo ties in to Netflix and Hulu and Amazon movies and such. The Hulu interface is comedically bad, counterintuitive and with like eight clicks to get to anything and commercials shown during shows, but […]

The Science of Dance

- by in Music, Sex

Scientists have drilled deeply into the psyche of the average heterosexual woman and managed to come away not only with sanity intact, but also with the sacred truth coveted by smarmy male club-skanks the world over: “which moves on the dance floor are likely to facilitate a healthy coat of stanky on my hang-down?” Employing […]

Mary Portas is Absolutely Fabulous

Mary Portas is Absolutely Fabulous

- by in Blue Blood

Some people like to get inspired for the day watching televangelists at 6am, while they get ready for work. Me, I’d like to have a channel of all shows like Mary Queen of Shops on BBC America. Mary Queen of Shops comes from the same team which produces Gordon Ramsay’s F Word and Ramsay’s Kitchen […]

Would you give in to alien junkie demands? – Torchwood Children of Earth

Would you give in to alien junkie demands? – Torchwood Children of Earth

- by in Blue Blood

This week BBC America ran the Torchwood miniseries Children of Earth one episode a night all week building to tonight’s epic finale. Sunday, they will run the whole Torchwood Children of Earth series with all five episodes back to back, so there is still time to catch it. Purely from an entertainment perspective, I recommend […]

Don’t make me get Primeval on your ass!

Don’t make me get Primeval on your ass!

- by in Popcorn

Primeval is more science fiction thriller fare from BBC America. The real stars of the show are the creatures created for it, particularly Rex, the adorable flying lizard thingie-ma-bob. The series comes from the fine folks who created Walking with Dinosaurs. Walking with Dinosaurs was a documentary about prehistoric animals which presented the film more […]

Torchwood Season 2 Very Out on DVD

Torchwood Season 2 Very Out on DVD

- by in Blue Blood

Torchwood season two came out on DVD last week. A lot of you have probably been watching it on BBC America, but, if you’ve missed this Doctor Who spin-off for adult fen, I definitely recommend picking up the DVDs. You can watch seasons one and two straight through in an orgy of science fiction consumption […]
