A writer's-eye review of movies, television and the occasional video game
As a man with too much time on his hands, I often find myself planted firmly on the couch, remote control or video game controller in hand. And though some may call this pursuit of entertainment a waste of time, I feel my productivity comes in letting YOU, my gentle reader, know whether something is worth wasting your own time on. Save yourself two hours of grief and discover some hidden gems.
The (current) daily line-up is as follows:
- Monday - Walking Dead Season 4: More zombies! With a new showrunner, this could be the best or worst season yet. Tune in to find out what I think.
- Tuesday - The White Queen: This British historical drama is coming to STARZ and is being billed as a competator to Game of Thrones. I'll let you know if it holds up.
- Wednesday - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Joss Whedon's new project is shaping up to be a fun ride through the Marvel universe. Listen to be rave about it!
- Thursday - Arrow Season 2: It's back and, hopefully, it's better than it was last time around. Find out how much they've improved the show by hearing me speak.
- Friday - Industry News: Find out what's happening in the world of movies, television and video games.
- Saturday - Series Reviews: Each week I pick a series, watch (or rewatch) it and then vent about the best and worst points in the targeted franchise.
