Broad City: Wisdom Teeth Review

Broad Citydelivers what is probably their strongest episode of the season. Abbis fake laundry argument on the phone is really wonderful for its sprawling, progressively hole-digging nature. Even smaller moments like Abbi hurling her groceries at an innocent bystanders ankle hit hard. Now, she just has to verify not to ruin that. A Broad Selection of Other Random Moments: Rating: 4 out of 5

Destiny: From Mixed Reaction to Videogame Hit

Possibly the most polarizing game of the 2014, Destiny has been hugely successful nonetheless. Its safe to say that BungiesDestinyhas had a mixed reaction from gamers. How has Bungie managed this? Was 2014 such a lacking year in terms of quality thatDestinywas simply the best of a bad lot? No, of course not. A basic one, yes, but an MMO nonetheless. Just asBorderlandsmixed theDiablo-style loot system with the FPS,Destinydoes the same, only on a larger scale....

The lessons NBC’s Parenthood has taught us

Ill tell you who: the Bravermans. Often in a montage, often to an indie-rock soundtrack that fades into the end credits. Look and learn, people. Empty calories be damned, say the Bravermans. When you live in wine country, make the most of it. Angry arm gestures, raised voices and sarcastic under-your-breath insults to family members are the bread and butter ofParenthood. All the arguments the Bravermans have are just another way of them all expressing their love for one another....

Agent Carter: The Blitzkrieg Button Review

Another week of Agent Carter and another MacGuffin? Think again since this episode has one great twist, plus Howard Stark! About half way through this weeks episode, I had my first dose of Marvel Studios ennui. Another McGuffin hunt Marvel, really? Another mysterious super powerful sphere for the hero to find before an evil force got its hands on it? Havent we been down this road a number of times, I ask?...

Mark Kermode interview: critics, star ratings, Joe Cornish, PR

And that, asHatchet Jobcontinues to thrive in paperback, is where we started… Youve done Q&As with the people whove read your book, and who you wrote it for. And I loved that film,Life Itself. I thought it was really, really wonderful. So the thing that was good about doing the tour… I talk for 45 minutes, and do 45 minutes of Q&A.

Parks and Recreation: Gryzzlbox/Save JJs review

Parks and Recreation continues to kill it on their victory lap. They were on her side! Thats a novelty idea that was perfectly kept in the pocket until the final season. We also got TREAT YO SELF 2017!!! Its another moment in a season-long goodbye that feels satisfying and earned. Just like April having to watch over a young unenthused intern thats just like a younger version of herself. Ad content continues below...

Supernatural: There’s No Place Like Home Review

We got an evil twin story in tonight’s episode of Supernatural. Did it take us deeper into Oz? Find out in our review! We got some nice inclusions of Dean trying to live with the Mark of Cain. His attempt to eat ridiculously healthy (What the hell is kale anyway?) and avoid his usual pleasures have made him one angsty hunter. We see the struggle clearly at the bar as he is sorely tempted by a filled shotglass....

The Flash: The Sound and the Fury review

Andy Mientus guest stars as the Pied Piper on The Flash “The Sound and the Fury.” Here’s Mike’s review. ThisThe Flashreview contains spoilers. This could have just been a villain of the week episode. It was a little more than that, thankfully. Is this the episode that featured the very least Barry Allen/Flash screentime weve ever seen? This isnt a complaint. Ive seen other shows takemuchlonger to settle into this kind of groove....

Zak Penn interview: Atari: Game Over, Ready Player One

I got hired a year ago in the fall, maybe November. Did it feel good to be able to tell that story? Always, with a documentary, you find your characters as youre going. It was one thing when I met Howard, because hes a really good conversationalist, and very smart. Howard didnt admit, at first, that he cared. It doesnt hurt my feelings. Which I thought was pretty shocking. I cant believe that you wouldnt want the record set straight....
