In this feature, I look back at each day of the past week and determine what shows “won TV” for the night. That is, I consider every episode of television I watched that aired on a particular day and declare which was the best.
Sunday – The Carmichael Show
Monday – Better Call Saul
Tuesday – The People vs. OJ Simpson
Wednesday – Quit your job, so that you can watch The Chris Gethard Show full time.
Thursday – Archer
Friday – Childrens Hospital
Saturday – SPACE PANTS!

JoJo’s back.
I never thought much about her one way or the other when she emerged a decade ago. But “Save My Soul” absolutely caught my ear. It has plenty of pep.

Cinema, Movie Reviews Creative Control, g, Reggie Watts Leave a comment
David has a bit of a problem. However, it could be a positive if he were to just change his perspective a bit. The ad agency he works at is promoting Augmenta, the latest in augmented reality glasses. He falls into being one of the most skilled test users, effortlessly creating a facsimile of his best friend’s girlfriend with whom he carries on an affair. Naturally, this plays havoc with his more tactile relationships. But the potential of Augmenta makes it clear that this could be just be a great deal of fun. If everyone were to just get weird with it like Reggie Watts (stopping by as himself to be the star of the Augmenta campaign) does, they would not succumb to all the overwrought yuppie malaise. Healthy or dangerous, the tripping in Creative Control is out of sight.

Cinema, Movie Reviews 10 Cloverfield Lane, John Goodman 1 Comment
There are multiple premises baked into the DNA of 10 Cloverfield Lane, and they are all significant enough to stand on their own. So the success of this film could be due to at least one of the films within it working so well or due to the confluence of all of them making for just the right formula. To best determine that answer, there ought to be an experiment breaking up this clever sequel into its constituent parts, with a control movie serving as the most bare-bones version. Perhaps there could be one sub-version of each with John Goodman, and one without, though that is unnecessary because he is clearly a national treasure.
