Mr. Robot 4.01 Recap: “Remove All Emotion and You Will Do Just Fine”

Josh Zyber — Wed, 09 Oct 2019 12:00:47 +0000

In the two years since Mr. Robot aired its last season, Rami Malek became a movie star and won an Oscar, and creator Sam Esmail seemed to move on to a new series on Amazon. Since they’ve reunited to finish their original story with one final season, I can’t help wondering if their hearts are...

2019 Golden Globe Winners

Josh Zyber — Mon, 07 Jan 2019 17:00:09 +0000

Last year, the Golden Globes gave out trophies to James Franco and Aziz Ansari. Which of this year’s winners will soon be embroiled in sexual misconduct scandals? I’m really worried about Carol Burnett! I kid, of course. It’s probably going to be Christian Bale, isn’t it?. Sadly, that seems the most likely. He gave a...

Bohemian Rhapsody Review: The Show Must Go On

Jason Gorber — Wed, 31 Oct 2018 16:00:45 +0000

From the outset, capturing the drama, spirit and sheer charisma of Freddie Mercury on screen in the form of a bio-pic simulacrum was going to be a fool’s errand. He was too big, too sly, too magnetic and too unique to be imitated. Bryan Singer’s Bohemian Rhapsody seems to know this fact, using the most...

‘Buster’s Mal Heart’ Review: Mind-Bendingly Simple

Philip Brown — Wed, 10 May 2017 16:00:31 +0000

Sarah Adina Smith’s second feature, ‘Buster’s Mal Heart’, appears to be many things over the course of its running time. Carefully constructed as a non-chronological, reality-bending mind-buster, the film dabbles in David Lynch Land, embracing surrealism and torturing viewers by positing far more questions than answers. Then the movie wraps up in a rather pat...

2016 Emmy Winners

Josh Zyber — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 21:00:42 +0000

The Emmy Awards aired on Sunday and I barely even noticed. Once again, my interest in this ceremony was minimal. Nonetheless, I feel obligated to mention here that they happened. I watched Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue, which was pretty funny, and walked into the room a couple of times here and there to catch a...

‘Mr. Robot’ 2.01 & 2.02 Recap: “Control Is an Illusion”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 19 Jul 2016 16:00:16 +0000

One of last year’s most daring and most challenging TV shows, ‘Mr. Robot’ was a very unusual change of pace for programming on the USA Network. Nonetheless, the network execs were so pleased with it that they renewed the series for a second season before the first episode even aired. Fortunately, it proved successful enough...

‘Mr. Robot’ Pilot Recap: “What I Wouldn’t Give to Be Normal”

Josh Zyber — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 19:00:16 +0000

Domo arigato. Last week, the USA Network premiered a very promising new drama series called ‘Mr. Robot’. Despite the title, no, the show has nothing to do with robots. (Ironically, for that you need to watch the new AMC series ‘Humans’.) What it does have is a very fascinating premise and lead character. Rami Malek...
