The Idiot Box: Community: Season Three in Retrospect
“Let’s talk about evil.” – Britta Perry (…Well, let’s talk about some other things first. We’ll get to evil eventually, I promise.) One of Community’s biggest strengths is its veritable wellspring of thematic versatility. As a television show set on a college campus, it’s always had a sort of built-in proclivity for conveying overarching lessons, morals of the story, and general larger truths. Because along with that academic setting comes the natural expectation that the characters are going to learn […]

While a lot of media are rightly looking back on Yauch’s incredible career as a musician, rapper, artist, director, and activist, I’ll not spend too much time here rehashing his litany of accomplishments over the last 26 years. Instead, I thought I’d chime in with a little reflection on Yauch’s impact on your old pal Dr. […]

Pass The Popcorn: The Avengers
It’s hard to put into words what I’m feeling right now. I came home to my wife and had her touch my chest so that she could feel how fast my heart was still beating over 30 minutes after leaving the theater for an advance screening of The Avengers. This is a movie Marvel has been hinting at for over four years and it more than lives up to the build up. It is, quite simply, the ultimate super hero […]

The Idiot Box: 18 First-Timers Who Should Totally Host “SNL”
With the recent announcement that Eli Manning has been tapped to host weekly live comedy show “Saturday Night Live” on May 5th, coupled with the knowledge that Justin Bieber is confirmed to host before the current season’s over, NBC appears to have dropped the ball in the tail end of a season that has boasted some reasonably strong hosts.
