Black bars in the theater wouldn't really work, since the blackness would eat Crow's silhouette and most of Jonah's.

In large part I think any shift is because of how much geek culture has become pop culture since the 90s. Sci-fi, fantasy, and superhero franchises are our biggest common reference points right now. The old show used to reference stuff like broadcast commercials and primetime network series a lot - but those aren't…

Six-episode check-in: the show is definitely settling into a better rhythm as the season goes on. Avalanche and The Beast of Hollow Mountain were both quite good, without too much of the manic quality that at times impinged upon my enjoyment of Cry Wilderness. And Starcrash is so bonkers that the riffing almost took a…

"sentient"'s a bit generous, don't you think?

There was a moment during one of the host segments in like episode 4 or 5 where Crow suddenly just sounded like Crow to me, instead of a new guy doing Crow. I don't know if it's ever gonna happen with Servo though.

I don't know if CBS has the authority to do that. They own the rights to make new shows but the streaming rights on the old ones are pretty widely strewn - it's all on Amazon Prime and Hulu as well. CBS All Access is already up and running so if CBS had the ability to lock down exclusivity I think they would've done…

Believe it or not that was the previous summer (September 2015) when LSSC and the Trump campaign were both starting out. Fallon interviewed him a whole year later when it was much clearer how serious a threat he was. Colbert's interview was just as weaksauce, but it was a very different context.

My CBS affiliate doesn't even show Corden (they do Inside Edition at 12:30 instead). I guess I'm not missing anything?

100% agreed on the Hexfield. The new door sequence is so elaborate and delightful, but the SOL room itself feels so flat and static. The lack of Hexfield is a big part of that.

I'm two episodes in. Cry Wilderness is such a perfect MST3K movie. It's Pod People meets Boggy Creek II with a dash of Final Sacrifice, and Overdrawn At The Memory Bank Stock Footage Sequence to taste.

Hopefully that includes giving it an unexpected, glorious second season.

The Rock flexed out of a cast, stole an ambulance, killed a drone with said ambulance, stole said drone's gun, and used said gun to kill a helicopter.

JJ was definitely the lowest rent. Some of the big scenes in DD and Luke Cage are pretty impressive though. With the horrible JJ leaping scene in mind I was surprised when the final fight scene between Luke and Diamondback wasn't shy about showing them hurling each other through the air. Both of those series also…

Phil was what the Avengers were Avenging.

Unlike any of the Netflix shows, it knows how to structure both an episode and a season. They might produce better individual scenes by dint of higher budget or laxer content standards, but AoS produces better television overall.

Nah, if you know what you're doing it's the other way around - you have to be incredibly unlucky to not win. Especially with AE, where Hacking is a cure-all for what ails your loadout, it should be possible to put together a winning ship 90% of the time on Normal.

If I don’t change my mind and this column plays out the way I’m planning, Reeves will be in a three-way tie as the star who’s headlined the most of these movies.

Also, unlike LA's highway system, the open ocean does not really present many exciting obstacles.

I'm very confused by this. If you look at the A History Of Violence feature page it still lists Breihan as the author.

Au contraire, all I want to see in these movies is Geoffrey Rush chewing scenery.
