READ MOREEvery time Amazon has changed the name of its video service over the years, I’ve scratched my head. Why keep changing? Youtube doesn’t change. Vimeo doesn’t change.

Over the last few years, I’ve become something of a Lost scholar. After each episode airs, I read commentary from Doc Jensen of Entertainment Weekly, The Tail Section, and sometimes Doc Ardzt. I’ve spent hours poring over the Lostpedia, and I listen to The Official Lost Podcast, in which producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse […]

I’m looking ahead at the Sci-Fi channel’s Halloween movie schedule. They’ve got a few good movies and a few so-bad-they’re-good ones.

Funny as they were, they disappeared from YouTube mighty quickly. […]

Because the world’s been clammoring for more of Sam Neill in a very long beard… MERLIN’S APPRENTICE features Sam Neill, Miranda Richardson, and John Reardon, who apparently starred in “White Chicks.” I guess this particular Hallmark feature does have one thing going for it… No Martin Short! His performance was so strange in the original […]

The first season of Ricky Gervais podcasts is done, and I’m seriously considering paying actual money to listen to the new series. It’s just that funny. Yes, Ricky’s bigger than ever. His podcast, which he shares with Steve Merchant and Karl Pilkington, will be featured in this year’s Guinness Book as the most downloaded. There […]

The Troma empire of fun-loving mediocrity may soon come to a television near you. James Hibberd of TV Week reports that the cult independent film company has two new shows in development. No networks have bit yet, but I think either would fit in well on Spike, Comedy Central, or The Horror Channel. I’m a […]
