Published on February 5th, 2016 in: Current Faves, Matshifter, Pro Wrestling, Sports, TV, TV Reviews |
Well hi there, Believers! We’re back at the Temple for episode two of the season.
We open on a recap of Mil Muertes’s victory over Prince Puma from last season, as well as a recap of the scene from the finale where Black Lotus killed her trainer, Dragon Azteca, and joined up with Dario Cueto. We also see the end of last week’s show, where Pentagon, Jr. broke the arm of Lucha Underground Champion, Mil Muertes.
TV Review: The X-Files, Episode 3, “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Creature”
Published on February 3rd, 2016 in: Reviews, Science Fiction, TV, TV Reviews |
Some of the best episodes of The X-Files were the Monster of the Week shows, where the mythology is forgotten about for a moment and we get to focus on a separate case. It makes sense that we would get one of those episodes in the mini-series, and here it is.
Mulder and Scully investigate a case with multiple victims, and those who survive claim the perpetrator is a monster. It’s a typical X-Files setup, with a creature living in the woods of the Pacific Northwest, but there are a couple of differences. It’s not a werewolf. It may not really be human at all.
TV Review: F is for Family, Season 1
Published on February 1st, 2016 in: Comedy, Current Faves, Netflix Reviews, Reviews, TV, TV Reviews |By Tyler Hodg
Netflix’s latest original adult-oriented cartoon, F is for Family, is racist, homophobic, and misogynistic–all in the name of satire.

MILD SPOILERS AHEAD
Boy, do we do things to screw up our children. Some of that can’t be helped; we’re only human, after all. But what if your child isn’t only human? The second episode of Season Ten of The X-Files, “Founder’s Mutation,” is all about the kids.
Mexican Wrestling Sensation Lucha Underground: A Primer
Published on January 26th, 2016 in: Action Movies, Comedy, Culture Shock, Current Faves, Matshifter, Media, Pro Wrestling, Sports, Staff Picks, TV, TV Reviews, Underground/Cult |
I’ve always been fascinated by pro wrestling’s ability to tell a story in a non-traditional way. Mixing elements of a stage play, a circus, and a TV show, along with the fact that there are usually no traditional “seasons” makes for some potentially great and potentially horrendous narratives that are equally entertaining to me. Lucha Underground, however, is unlike any other wrestling product that I’ve seen.

The Trailer Park Boys are a national treasure. While the trio doesn’t represent Canada as a whole, there is just something so Canadian about the show’s approach. Park resident J-Rock even built a car spoiler out of hockey sticks, for maple syrup’s sake.
Yet, somehow, the appeal of Trailer Park Boys extends globally. Following their onstage Netflix specials in Dublin and Minneapolis, the boys have traveled to Texas for a brand-new theater production titled Trailer Park Boys: Drunk, High, and Unemployed–Live In Austin.
TV Review: W/ Bob & David, Season 1
Published on January 5th, 2016 in: Comedy, Current Faves, Netflix Reviews, Reviews, TV, TV Reviews |By Tyler Hodg
Netflix is expanding their catalogue with not only new shows, but old revivals as well. Sleeper hit Mr. Show with Bob and David originally aired on HBO from 1995-1998, but has since received a spiritual successor by the previously mentioned studio in the form of W/ Bob & David.
TV Review: Master of None, Episode 10: “Finale”
Published on December 4th, 2015 in: Comedy, Current Faves, Netflix Reviews, TV, TV Reviews |By Tyler Hodg
The season one finale of Master of None delivers a healthy dose of both heartbreaking and laugh out loud moments, but unfortunately, fails to be the conclusion this show deserves. In fact, “Finale” somewhat sours the season altogether.
TV Review: Master Of None, Episode 9: “Mornings”
Published on December 3rd, 2015 in: Comedy, Current Faves, Netflix Reviews, Reviews, TV, TV Reviews |By Tyler Hodg
Master of None’s go-home show is the perfect culmination of Dev (Aziz Ansari) and Rachel’s (Noël Wells) relationship up to this point. “Mornings” gives us an in-depth look at casual conversations and arguments between the two that typically wouldn’t be shown in more elaborately-themed installments.
