Quasi-GothWatch: Sammi (TMoL)

There’s going to be a lot of good shows returning over the next few weeks, so hopefully I’ll be able to ween myself off hate-watching The Mysteries of Laura… but for now, I’m still enjoying the way it makes my … Continue reading

“Now That’s Sexy Science!”

In this age of austerity, the latest British sitcoms all seem depressingly domestic and dreary, leaving me longing for the likes of Supernova (2005), which starred ace Welsh actor Rob Brydon as an astronomer who leaves his stuffy academic position … Continue reading

“New Elsewheres Unthought”

I got quite excited when I chanced upon a copy of What the Bleep Do We Know!? (2004) in a charity shop… I mean, I hadn’t actually heard of the flick before, but the premise of combining talking head interviews … Continue reading

“Money Buys Nothing”

Dharma’s Initiative

I recently picked up the first season boxset of Dharma & Greg, so I could revisit the story of an upright, uptight young lawyer who falls madly in love with a carefree, chaotic dog-walker/yoga instructor. They first encounter each other, briefly, … Continue reading

Dream Of The Nineties

I’ve been listening to Sleater-Kinney’s albums for well over a decade, but I can’t say I ever imagined that the band’s singer/guitarist, Carrie Brownstein, would transition into sketch comedy… not that S-K were all super-serious and downbeat or anything… but … Continue reading
