The Pitt S2E13 7PM - Who Will Survive
Listen, 7pm is a good time to be at home, in your pj’s, with a pizza and a good show after work (unless you work in an industry where it’s go time). Right now though, we’re in a situation where everyone’s been working since...well, forever ago, and are now entering the second hour of a holiday nightshift. No one’s having fun. Not the patients who did a few bumps and assaulted a nurse, not the guy who blew himself into a garage, not really anyone. And not the doctors of The

The Pitt: Season 2, Episode 12 : 6pm - We Gotta Get Out of This Place
Meanwhile, several pirates look on as one of them gets stitched up. Apparently, he got bayonet..ted. Doesn’t seem super bad. Maybe they’re Revolutionary War re-enactors, in fact. I just saw pirates. Either way. Bayonetted.

Was Reality Even In the Room With Us for Reality Check: America's Next Top Model?
I’d say I was waiting for the E! Docuseries to air its America’s Next Top Model episodes for me to comment on The Tyra one where Tyra didn’t have anything to do with production see, so it’s totally non-biased. Except, surprise, or not, if you’ve seen the documentary, the part where you think you’re getting some expose about what happened and potentially have the people involved at least fess up to it and try to make some amends has been replaced with Tyra, in a trench coat, s

The Pitt S2E9 - Still Solidly in the Stone Age
How did we get to episode 9 already? It’s 3pm. The day is still young, but the season is mostly over and I’m a little sad. I get that production on this has to be an UNDERTAKING and that’s likely a huge understatement but man. I feel the approach of the end, and there’s so much more I want to see.

The Pitt, Season 2 Episode 8 - 2 PM. Everything Old is New Again
Alright. It’s 2pm, we’re coming off of lunch and ok, let’s be honest, in the real world 2pm is generally when that post-lunch sleepiness is setting in, but in this case, I’m hyped. There’s a LOT going on in The Pitt right now, and though I admit to some apprehension as well, I just want to know what’s about to go down.

The Pitt, Season 2, Episode 6: A Melancholy Noontime
Can we talk about how Dana basically holds the entire place together? Not only does she route things back to front, regulate dysregulated docs, and look after patients, she also battles dueling egos and handles every major crisis given with the proper amount of smarts and sass.

The Pitt Season 2, Episode 5: The Robby and Langdon Show
Dr. Al and Robby meet up in a side room and have a rather normal consult. Ok. Well, there’s hope for everyone. Robby then heads to Dana’s desk to check in on the baby and she’s of course checking to see if he’s made up with Langdon.
Back at the betting, we’ve added “sinkhole.” That’s a long shot. Langdon gets asked but can’t play,and they’re really cool about it after he tells them it’s due to rehab bills. Sinkhole was a double down, so what does our favorite dad nurse kn

Wonder Man: More Man, Less Wonder
via. Marvel.com The latest show out of the MCU has been a critical success. But something about it has been knocking around in my head. I know most of the praise is definitely deserved. Wonder Man is a very character-driven story, buoyed by the genuinely fantastic interactions of Sir Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams. Watching these two bounce off of each other is electric. Their chemistry is so potent that it retroactively makes Tre

The Space Between: The Pitt Season Two, Episode Two Fuels More Questions Than it Answers
I guess, given that the shift just started and we’re only through two hours of it, having more questions than answers is normal, but I wish we had some idea of at least one person’s fate. Oh well - we’ll leave that to next time.

In the Not-Too-Distant Future: The RiffTrax Team Returns to MST3K
They're ba-ack! In the not-too-distant future, we will be getting more Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) in a way I would not have thought possible a few years ago. If you haven’t kept up with the Satellite of Love, the franchise has seen major activity in the last decade. In 2017, original creator Joel Hodgson launched a record-breaking Kickstarter to bring the show to Netflix for two seasons, hosted by Jonah Ray. Later, in 2022, the show moved to its own independent st

Our Favorite TV of 2025
Maybe you're like us, and you grew up in the golden era of TV - catch jingles in commercials, TV special events, and full blocks of entertainment for the whole family.
Either way, a lot of us love television, and we're entering a new golden era, where shows are lickably gorgeous, have amazing stories, and return to the zeitgeist the term "must-see-TV."
Yeah, we're late getting you this list, but that just means you've got more time to argue it and suggest your own favor

Time Marches On (With Epic Cliffhangers) in The Pitt Season Two, Episode One, "7:00 A.M."
he Pitt is great because it’s great TV, and it’s great because it’s spectacularly put together. It’s a clockwork of vignettes each with perfect timing and just enough intrigue, a whole deck of face cards with obvious chops acting their faces off, and the ability to say something intelligent and somewhat novel about it all.

Kumail Nanjiani's "Night Thoughts" Special is a Fantastic Return To Form. (No, It's not a Muscle Joke)
Of all the muscled glow-ups there are to talk about, his was my favorite - because not only did it reflect a change we as fans knew was important to that scrawny kid, it was also for a Marvel movie.
Still, you can’t help but wonder, when someone gets super buff, has a hit film that wins multiple awards, and lives in LA, if they can still pull off that same colander headed, “house full of betas” vulnerability.
And the answer is a resounding yes, much to my absolute delight

Photo: Marielle Bokor It’s hard to properly convey the privilege of having gotten to see Christopher Eccleston at Chicago TARDIS this year. As fellow Whovians, we are always super hyped to see a Doctor or companion grace the stage of any local convention, and we’ve been privileged to pack into panel rooms where the likes of Tennant, Tate, Smith and Gillian were set to appear. They’re amazing piece

Tales from Chicago TARDIS: Carole Ann Ford and Katy Manning on the Changing Faces of the Doctor, Companions and Friendship
The pair first touched on the core of the show - the changing faces and pathos of the Doctor himself, with Carole adding that the companions have got ‘more and more beautiful over the years.’ Both actresses agreed that it’s a beautiful thing to see the Doctor change the way that they have, experiencing things through the eyes of those young and old, black and white, and everything in between.
