Co-creator and star Phil Lloyd said that the show Review is “a stab at the absurdity of a person trying to rate a movie or something, because its art. It’s subjective, and yet you allocate 4 stars to it.” But I don’t care! This was one of the few great, original Australian series of the [...]
Fellow nerds – after two weeks adjusting to life without a weekly dose of 30 Rock it’s time to accept that after seven great seasons, the Emmy award-winning sitcom has finally come to a close. Never again will we watch Liz attempt to talk herself out of jury duty in a Princess Leia costume, hear [...]
Have you ever seen a movie and after roughly 5 seconds it dawns on you that you are a COMPLETE IDIOT AND OMG WHY DIDN’T I LISTEN TO MY BROTHER ARGH SOMEONE HELP ME?! No? Oh, well you mustn’t have seen Hansel and Gretel yet. DON’T Yes, it’s that bad. But almost all because of [...]
This episode is in a more melancholic mood than the show normally is, which makes for a fantastically apt ending to the series. It also features a tour de force of direction by C.K, something I haven’t really talked about in these write ups because I was waiting for this episode. If there’s any proof [...]
This, the penultimate episode of the first season of Louie, highlights all the things that makes it good and one of a kind. Nothing major happens in the episode, and the things that do happen have happened many times before (stand-up sections, the love-hate relationship he has towards his kids, incredibly dirty sex talk, and [...]
I’m currently travelling in the U.S.A, arguably the country with the most influence on our modern way of life. Here in Washington DC, I have the chance to visit the seat of a world superpower, see the rockets which enabled man to walk on the moon, or tread the ground where the very fate of [...]
The best part of being in America (apart from being free from the clutches of socialized healthcare, gun control, and summer) is being able to see movies weeks before they come out in the backwater upside down countries like the Falkland Islands and Australia. Today I’ve bravely inflicted The Hobbit upon myself. So you don’t [...]
2 Broke Girls centres on bold, cynical and “street-smart” Max (Kat Dennings) and spoilt, newly bankrupt and business minded Caroline (Beth Behrs). They meet working in a crappy diner in Williamsburg, New York and throughout the series attempt to try and save $250,000 to start a cupcake bakery. Created by Michael Patrick King (Sex and [...]
If you’re a podcast fan, you’ve probably heard Tom Goes To The Mayor and Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job! co-creator Tim Heidecker speak about his new movie The Comedy. You’ve probably also heard that while he stars, and comedic partner Eric Wareheim and frequent collaborator Gregg Turkington appear in supporting roles, he didn’t [...]
Hmm. Where to start with this one. The blurb for the episode reads: “While attending Catholic school, the young Louie is subjected to a frightening medical lecture about the gruesome nature of Jesus Christ’s suffering”. Doesn’t really shout “half hour comedy” does it. That’s because this is, of all the Louie episodes up until [...]
