A mild mannered digital strategist working for an environmental nonprofit in Austin, TX roaming the interwebs fighting his nemeses President Luthor and the Roxxon Corporation by day, and by night consuming all manner of media. You can find him either on his couch or at the nearest Alamo Drafthouse catching the latest. Don't follow him on Twitter @CitizenAndy.
Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) is back where The CW‘s Arrow started on Lian Yu, the island where he was marooned and found his purpose and destiny. Joining him are allies old and new, including Oliver’s children, with whom he tries to create a sense of closure as he faces his fate that he knows he […]
What if The Flash did The Walking Dead? As Bloodwork (Sendhil Ramamurthy) unleashes his blood zombies on Central City, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) goes Dark Flash in our final pre-“Crisis” episode. It plays with a lot of the tropes of the zombie genre while wrapping up its loose ends just in time for the skies […]
After the fallout from last week’s confrontation with Lena, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) has to head off two crises at once. . . and all that’s before getting to our tease of “Crisis on Infinite Earths”. Oh yes, there will be Luthors. Yup, plural. It’s “Crisis” time. Buckle your seatbelts. Our first plotline involves Lena’s (Katie […]
Now that’s a mid-season finale! The CW‘s Batwoman ties off its pre-“Crisis” storylines with some major stakes and seismic shifts in the lives of our characters. And while Alice’s “Mad Tea Party” doesn’t directly tie in to the upcoming “Crisis” crossover, our final scene gives us invaluable clues as to what is happening (video below). […]
So, you’ve just partaken in the American tradition of gluttony and indulgence that is Thanksgiving, just gorging yourself on turkey and all sorts of carbs, and then you find yourself faced with the biggest conundrum of all: how to get all of your annoying relatives to clear off! (Or, alternatively, to be asked to leave) […]
FOX‘s Bob’s Burgers has the best holiday episodes of any show currently on television. Its Thanksgiving episodes are especially great and rivaled only by Brooklyn-99‘s love of turkey day. While there are other great animated shows to celebrate (and binge!) over this holiday, it seemed like it was time to dive deep into the Belcher […]
Continuing past episodes‘ thematic walks down Oliver’s memory lane, this week’s Arrow reunites Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Laurel (Katie Cassidy) with Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne). On a weird alternate earth where Lance survived and became Mayor of Star City, Oliver and Laurel live a day over and over trying to prevent his death. It turns […]
With only two “days” left until “Crisis” hits The CW‘s Arrowverse, on The Flash we’re getting down to the wire on how much Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) can prep his family and team to live without him. And building off of last week‘s cliffhanger of Dr. Ramsey Rosso (Sendhil Ramamurthy) attacking Ralph (Hartley Sawyer), we jump […]
Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) continues his long goodbye on this week’s episode of The Flash. In “License to Elongate,” we get a silly, James-Bond-inspired caper that very perfectly matches the tone and skillset of Dibney, Ralph Dibney (Hartley Sawyer) aka The Elongated Man. All of this wraps into Barry’s continued attempts to make sure that […]
As with several previous episodes of Arrow this season, this is a chance to walk through past seasons and tie up all of loose ends of the Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) story. This week, that means Russia and the Bratva, as well as a reunification with Anatoli. It also means a particularly good and effective […]
This week’s Supergirl is a little on the melodramatic side, but what do you expect from former frenemies turned best friends who have now been lying and betraying one another for almost half a season? Most importantly, it places the personal conflict between Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Lena (Katie McGrath) front and center in an […]
This week’s Batwoman is one of the best of the series so far, as it finally feels like the show is firing on all cylinders. It provides some great action sequences, introduces us to new characters, layers in backstory and secondary motivations, and provides some opportunities for our lead actors to show off their range. […]
In Supergirl this week, all of the conflicts we’ve been building towards all season will come to a head. After last week’s revelations about Lena (Katie McGrath) and Andrea (Julie Gonzalo), Kara (Melissa Benoist) is on a collision course with Leviathan that apparently takes her to the Fortress of Solitude, and a fight with an […]
As we draw inexorably closer to the end of the decade, it’s time to take stock of where we’ve been. And while a lot of sites and critics will offer a countdown list of the “best” of the year and best of the decade, it’s also important to remember those films who flew under the […]
Batwoman is back this week, and we’re meeting new friends and going deeper with old ones. It sounds like Kate (Ruby Rose) and Sophie (Meagan Tandy) will be front and center, with their prior relationship being explored more fully, especially as Sophie grapples with how to protect Kate and her identity as Batwoman from the […]
On this week’s Batwoman, we meet Executioner, who uses the very methods Gotham uses to enforce the death penalty to take out its cops and lawyers. The villain-of-the-week formula is taken to the next level with some great character work by our main cast, but, most of all, a serious interrogation of the justice of […]
It’s a very villainous episode as Supergirl delves into the long, complicated backstory of Andrea Rojas (Julie Gonzalo) and the secret organization Leviathan in “Confidence Women.” Of course, the eponymous Confidence Women are Andrea and Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) and this is their episode. It’s an episode of Supergirl where Supergirl plays only a minor […]
On Supergirl this week, we have flashbacks featuring Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) and Andrea Rojas (Julie Gonzalo) on a jungle adventure and Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and *sigh* William (Staz Nair) at the DEO dealing with their villain of the week. Here’s how The CW teases the episode: “Supergirl” season 5, episode 6 “Confidence Women”: PIECE […]
This week on The CW‘s Batwoman, it looks like at least one other person close to Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) will figure out her secret identity: namely, her ex paramour Sophie (Meagan Tandy), which complicates her role as one of the top leaders at the Crows private security firm run by Jacob, Kate’s dad (Dougray […]
2019 has been quite a year for Stephen King, but most years have been for decades now. The prolific and celebrated author has given us so much, and in 2019 we saw four major adaptations of King’s work hit the silver screen. Now with Doctor Sleep in theaters, we can finally give you the definitive […]
