Saturday Night Slate

Morbid curiosity finally got the better of me, and I decided to start working through Jenny Slate’s infamous/inglorious stint on the 35th(!) season of Saturday Night Live (2009)… I already knew that she’d been fired for accidentally dropping an F-bomb live on-air, … Continue reading

“Shoes Are A Gateway Drug”

I feel a little annoyed that it took me so long to get around to watching Whip It (2009), because it’s a helluva lot better than it’s meagre box-office performance would suggest (it just about broke even). For those who … Continue reading

Folk Me

I’d sworn to myself that I would stop buying random DVDs, so I could save up for the next 30 Rock boxset… but while I was checking prices in WHSmith, I spotted the second season of Flight of the Conchords … Continue reading
