Blu-ray Highlights: Week of September 9th, 2018 – Behind the 8 Ball

Josh Zyber — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 12:00:12 +0000

Two years after the Ghostbusters fiasco, the latest attempt to reboot a previously male-dominated franchise with an all-female cast was met with a little less virulent misogynistic outrage (though there certainly was some of that) and more of a shrug. I guess that’s progress. That movie and a few others come to Blu-ray this week....

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of September 10th, 2017 – Mum’s the Word

Josh Zyber — Mon, 11 Sep 2017 12:00:57 +0000

Is there such a thing as a week with too many new Blu-ray releases? I think we may have one on our hands. The release slate is clogged with 4k upgrades and other reissues of old titles. Also, Tom Cruise fights a sexy mummy. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘The Mummy‘ – After disavowing ‘The Wolf Man’...

Weekend Roundtable: TV Shows That Outstayed Their Welcome

Josh Zyber — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 19:00:30 +0000

Recent news that behind-the-scenes turmoil at ABC’s long-running ‘Castle’ will result in one of the co-leads exiting the series begs the question: How is ‘Castle’ even still on the air? Once a fairly amusing riff on the crime procedural genre, the show ran out of steam a long time ago and has been coasting for...

Josh Zyber — Mon, 14 Sep 2015 12:00:31 +0000

Last week slowed down a bit for new Blu-ray releases, but this week revs back up to speed with a huge volume of new titles, including one of the biggest box office hits of all time. Is that disc, or much of anything this week, really worth buying, though? New Releases ‘Furious 7‘ – $1.5...

2014 Emmy Winners

Josh Zyber — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 13:00:53 +0000

We live in an era with a seemingly endless diversity of choices for quality television programming. Yet judging by the results of last night’s Emmy Awards, it would appear that most voting members of the Television Academy only watched one show over the past year. Sweep mentality was in full effect at the Emmys this...

Weekend Roundtable: Worst Current TV Show [Spring 2014]

Josh Zyber — Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:00:51 +0000

We turn our sights to the small screen for this week’s Roundtable topic. With all the great programming that airs on cable these days, we may be living in a TV renaissance. On the other hand, the broadcast schedule is still filled with countless hours of worthless garbage. What’s the worst TV show currently on...

Josh Zyber — Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:00:50 +0000

Remember all that hoopla from earlier this year about how the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences made the bold move of nominating the online-only Netflix series ‘House of Cards’ and ‘Arrested Development’ for several major Emmy awards? Well, that all came to naught last night when both shows were shut out of the big...

Emmy Grows a Pair

Josh Zyber — Mon, 22 Jul 2013 17:00:42 +0000

The nominations for the 2013 Emmy Awards were announced last Thursday. I had intended to write up a post on the subject for that day or Friday, but life intervened and I got busy with other things. And frankly, the Emmys always nominate the same small handful of shows year after year anyway. Would anyone...
