Many Happy Returns: New Episodes of Old Shows Worth Watching

Here’s the worst-kept secret in media today: there is a lot of stuff gushing out of your various screens every damn day. But only a small percentage of that stuff is worth your time… and an even smaller percentage of that is stuff that’s coming back for a second or...

Gogglebox: UK TV at its … finest?

It’s been days since I pleaded with you to get a good VPN and peek into TV from England and Canada and Australia and everywhere else that you can’t get to if they think you're from the U.S. And now I’m going to do it again, with a review o the frankly impossible UK...

The Multiverse of Gina Rodriguez: Players and Better Off Dead

More than ten years ago, I worked with my old friend Angela Ortiz on her start-up of an entertainment news website called Se Fija Online – which, she told me, means something like “What’s up?” or “What’s Happening?” in Spanish. The slug: “Entertainment News about...

Kennie JD: One of the Best Things About YouTube

I’ve been hanging around the edges of YouTube for years and years, and for a long time, I was a snob about it – imagine me, a snob. Back in its early days, I saw YouTube was kind of the junk drawer of original content: so many people doing so much stuff, with no rhyme...

What I’m Not Watching This Month

Just for a change, let’s talk about what not to watch on the streamers and nets these days – and haven’t been for weeks. This is the downside of “peak TV,” a period of content glut that may be behind us now, since the drought of the writer’s and actors’ strikes have...

Amusia

A story of music, the hidden language inside it, and the evil we do to each other

David Cleary had been the host of “Clearly the Classics” on KCPR for almost twenty-five years – four hours every morning, til a stroke took him down like a hammer. Now music – any music – sounds hideous to him. It fills his ears with screeching and grinding, broken nails across a blackboard. Harsh, cruel, ugly sounds. And though he hated to admit it, he heard something else. Beneath – maybe between – the howling and clashing, he could hear what felt like … words. Feelings. Other people’s feelings.

Resi​dent Alien is great; Alan Tudyk is greater

It took SyFy long enough – I get it, timing and seasons and COVID and all – but finally, finally we have a new season of Resident Alien, and with it the return of the damn near legendary Alan Tudyk. Ahhh, Alan Tudyk. I’ve been watching the guy, enjoying his work over...
