Josh Zyber — Wed, 14 Aug 2019 12:00:45 +0000

FX’s Legion wrapped up its third and final season this week, and series creator Noah Hawley was allowed to end the story on his own terms. As you’d expect, it gets pretty weird. I’ll do my best to make some sense of it. Aside from a check-in at the season premiere, I haven’t attempted to...

Legion 3.01 Recap: “All Past Is Future”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 26 Jun 2019 12:00:46 +0000

After its deeply confusing and, let’s be honest, frequently incoherent second season, FX’s bizarre superhero drama Legion saw its viewers throw their hands in the air and its ratings nosedive. However, the show still has a small cult audience, and the network was generous enough to grant it a third season to finish the story...

The most divisive movie of 2017 comes home to disc this week so that everyone can commence arguing about its merits (or lack thereof) all over again. In the words of Darth Vader: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! New Releases ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘ – I picture George Lucas, wearing a black hood and sitting with his fingers...

Weekend Roundtable: TV Shows on the Big Screen

Josh Zyber — Fri, 01 Sep 2017 19:00:30 +0000

This is such a slow week for movies that the most notable new theatrical release is actually a TV show. Four weeks ahead of its broadcast debut, Marvel is premiering the new series ‘Inhumans’ in IMAX theaters first. Would you pay to see a TV show on the big screen? If not this one specifically...

‘Legion’ Pilot Recap: “What If Your Problems Aren’t in Your Head?”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 13 Feb 2017 20:00:55 +0000

The FX network has kept a lot of the details about its new series ‘Legion’ secretive or vague. Even after a 90-minute premiere, I can’t say that I’m entirely certain what happened in it. Somehow, that may actually be a good thing. Aside from an X seen in the middle of the O in its...
