With Scooter always rushing to make the deadlines that the Muppets never seem to be able to meet in the most timely of manners, the chaos, silliness and fun that comes with widely varied personalities of all the Muppet characters, big and small, is definitely present, whether it’s in the lifestyle tips from the diva herself Miss Piggy, the zany experiments with Dr....

As cult shows go,Sense8is far more inviting than most. The central idea of the beloved Netflix series, that many disparate people can be part of a grouping called a “cluster,” stresses inclusion above nearly everything else, even as worldwide catastrophes and evil plots send them on adventures across the globe. For the Wachowski siblings, who created the series and wrote the entire first season alongsideJ. Michael Straczysnki, this has always been a major thematic obsession butSense8brings the idea of finding a supportive network (or a kind of proxy family) in others that may seem completely alien at first glance to the forefront....

Never before in the history of late night television has the format been so radically changed. Late night talk shows have always been a staple of the broadcast television lineup, but the advent of social media, YouTube, and On Demand viewing coupled with declining live ratings across the board has drastically changed the way late night TV is now consumed. Luckily for NBC’sLate Night with Seth Meyers, the show had a host, producers, and writers who were more than ready to shake things up....

What do you remember aboutGuy Ritchie’sSnatch? If you were in high school around the turn of the millennium, there’s a decent chance you saw Ritchie’s ecstatically entertaining crime caper or, at the very least, had seen a scene or two when your best friend or girlfriend rented the title from Blockbuster. It’s a movie that’s weirdly of a very specific post-Tarantino time, marked by extensive, eruptive stretches of pop-culture-referencing dialogue and wildly imaginative bits of violence....

Yes, Saturday night’s special, first-ever at-home episode was an interesting experiment for the long-running sketch comedy series. As is often the case withSNL, not every sketch was a total success but it did have some good moments....

The first full line of dialogue out ofJohn Travolta’s mouth inThe Fanaticis “I can’t talk long, I gotta poo.” There’s something to be said about a movie that lets you know what to expect right out of the gate, like a song called “Rollin'” that begins by telling you it is in fact time to keep on rollin'. If you were intrigued bythe trailerfor this stalker-thriller from directorFred Durstthen strap the hell in, because it’s exactly as advertised: 90-ish minutes of two-time Oscar nominee John Travolta wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a wig I assume he had to shoot and kill during pre-production making performance choices that would make formerFace/Offco-starNicolas Cagetell him to turn it down several notches....
