On the upcoming season of So You Think You Can Action Star, watch luminaries such as Joey King, Bob Odenkirk, and our latest contender Allison Janney trade in their usual Hollywood stardom for a life of kicking butt and taking … Continue reading
Don’t Worry Darling is a fine idea for a episode of mystery suspense sci-fi tv show… but it’s stretched to two hours of often uneventful, static storytelling. Cut this back by a good hour or insert more breadcrumbs and they … Continue reading
