Welcome to Carcosa: True Detective Episode 8

We’ve established that time is a flat circle to our King in Yellow, so it is safe to say that he always knew the ending to Sunday night’s episode of True Detective. Us, on the other hand, things weren’t always as clear to us, but episode eight brought the slow-burn style of build to boiling

This True Detective Conspiracy theory really nails it

If you are like me then over the past few weeks you’ve become enamored with HBO’s new series, True Detective. True Detective is a deliberately-paced, brilliantly written and acted show that features a fantastic plot, superb characters and everything in between. If you have been curious about the show, there is a very good chance

Flat Circles: True Detective Episode Seven

After last week’s episode of True Detective the show had officially been dubbed a “#WhitePeople” thing because of one kind of okay episode and people obsessing over symbolism where there was none. I get it, I really do, but the immediate about-face that many critics, writers and fans took after one episode full of character

Twenty years after his death, Bill Hicks is as relevant as ever

Wow. Lots of articles about great men who have the anniversaries of their deaths in February, eh? First Hunter Thompson, now Bill Hicks. HST was an institution very early in my life, but Bill Hicks I had only heard of sparingly until I really sunk my teeth into him about 6-7 years ago. Obviously, when

If you’re a fan of Walter White, you’re going to love this new Godzilla trailer

Cloverfield was the best Godzilla film ever released solely because it showed that if a giant alien/monster surfaced on the coast and started destroying major metropolitan cities, there’s nothing humanity could do about it. The notion that all Godzilla films are amicably resoled in the end is entirely too Disneyish. Short from dropping a nuclear

Woah, Netflix pays Comcast for faster streaming access for customers

Remember the whole Net Neutrality thing that got batted down thanks to Verizon and a coalition of the goonish nature? If you didn’t believe that it would have a serious impact on the rest of the internet then you were wrong, dead wrong. We are seeing now the first of what will probably be many

The Fallacy of Cthulhu: True Detective Episode Six

After five episode of True Detective that seemed laser-focused, episode six of True Detective seemed a bit muddier, a bit more focused on the personal relationship between Marty and Rust than previous episodes. A large focus was also on each man’s views on sexual relationships, hell, if not relationships in general. There is a lot

Guardians of the Galaxy Looks Absolutely Rawesome!

I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I

ECW Baseball is a thing in Cuba

There’s just forty days till baseball season. Just forty long, strenuous days — forty days until Billy Hamilton does his best Pete Wheeler impersonation. Untill Derek Jeter’s final season begins — forty days until people getting irrationally mad as Yasiel Puig for doing Yasiel Puig things. The anticipation is absolutely killing me. This video isn’t

The teaser trailer for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy looks wildly interesting

If you want to see Vin Diesel act as a sentient tree, Bradley Cooper as a talking raccoon, Bautista as villain-turned-hero in ‘Drax the Destroyer,’ and Zoe Saldana as the green adopted daughter of Thanos, then Marvel’s new ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ was specifically designed and constructed for you. Quite frankly I was hoping for

It’s true, HBO’s True Detective is the best show on TV

This weekend has had people talking about television as Netflix’s House of Cards debuted its second, algorithmically-written to be addictive season that sees Frank Underwood’s political machinations reach new highs. This weekend Netflix wants you to watch House of Cards in marathon-fashion, to digest it and then to tell your friends, to blog about it,
