THE POPFILTER FALL TEEVEE PREVEE
The PopFilter Fall TeeVee PreVee NBC A TO Z PREMIERES OCTOBER 2ND WHAT IT BE: Cristin Miloti follows up her run on the much-heralded, not-at-all-maligned final season of How I Met Your Mother with a titular role in which she’ll probably get some actual screen time. At least I assume it’s…
Read MoreKerri Battles the AFI’s Top 100 — #88: Bringing Up Baby
I really thought we were in for a winner this week, folks. I figured I knew all I needed to know of the plot based on the movie poster: two immensely talented actors get mixed up in some crazy hijinks involving a big cat. It sounded like a recipe for some classic laughs. I’d been…

I saw The Sixth Sense once, sometime around when it came out. I remember being quite surprised by the ending, too, so I must have seen it in the theaters on opening weekend because god knows that shit wasn’t a surprise for much longer after that. I think The Sixth Sense might be why the internet invented…

TOP TEN – RABID FANDOMS Doctor Who/Whovians In its 50 year history Doctor Who’s evolution has gone through some interesting phases; what was originally considered a silly sci-fi clunker by the BBC became a beloved Saturday night tradition for generations of British families before traipsing across the pond to rise as an underground cult hero…

Read MoreSNL – FINAL CAST RANKINGS, Part II
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE SEASON WRAP-UP THE KEEP LIST 9. AIDY BRYANT A couple of seasons ago, when we first started tackling SNL on an episode-by-episode basis, Aidy Bryant was my least favorite cast member. She had one role, “annoying neighbor that uses forced laughter to cover her horribleness,” and would jam that character in to…

This week wasn’t the first time I’d seen Do The Right Thing. As I’ve mentioned before, I have a film degree and this flick is something of a film school darling. I’d been forced to watch it on more than one occasion, each time with explicit instructions to take note of Lee’s use of color and…
Read MoreSNL – FINAL CAST RANKINGS, Part I
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE SEASON WRAP-UP The last couple of years have seen most of SNL‘s veterans graduate from the show, including Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg, Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, and Seth Meyers. This forced the 2013-14 season into a state of rebuilding, something that long time fans know is simply part of the process. You’re…

Prior to spending all my waking hours studying the titles on the AFI’s Top 100 list (because that’s all I do now, obviously), I had never even heard of Yankee Doodle Dandy. Now, I consider myself something of a film buff and people may have, from time to time, in passing, referred to me as…
