'Gilmore Girls' Season 6, Episode 18: The Real Paul Anka

Directing and writing credits: "The Real Paul Anka" is directed and written by Daniel Palladino because of course it is! It features a dumb fucking dream that we are forced to suffer through, weird Kirk shit, and a lot of annoying April field trip antics. I don'

Interview with Director Mattie Do, on 'The Long Walk' (2019)

When I take the time to conduct an interview and review a film, you know the hype is real. I loved "The Long Walk" (2019) so much that talking with director Mattie Do was a must. She is one of those people with no filter, which is much

'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Season 4, Episode 5: How to Chew Quietly and Influence People

In the first episode of the season, I worried about how the writers would handle Midge's Shy transgressions. Her "revenge" set at the Gaslight indicated a complete lack of remorse and self-awareness. As fun as it can be to watch a character who storms through life

'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Season 4, Episode 4: Interesting People on Christopher Street

At the Wolford, Midge continues pushing for improvements despite everyone else's comfortable complacency. I relate hard to Russell (Matthew Jeffers), a behind the scenes guy who just wants to collect his paycheck and GTFO. I was this person at my last job, but less successful at setting boundaries.

'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Season 4, Episode 3: Everything Is Bellmore

To no one's surprise, Midge is now working as a warm-up comic at the Wolford burlesque club. While the talent is impressive, the stage management, run by some dipshit named Boise (Santino Fontana from "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"), isn't exactly stellar. The episode opens with a

In the opening scene, Midge and Imogene (Bailey De Young) head to the storage unit where all of the Weissman possessions are being held. Midge, no stranger to working blue, somehow never realized that she owns a pair of white marble lamps featuring an elaborate orgy scene. They seem like

'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Season 4, Episode 1: Rumble on the Wonder Wheel

Let's get one thing out of the way: of course Midge Maisel is an asshole. All of Amy Sherman Palladino's female leads are assholes. Lorelai Gilmore? Asshole. Sarah Tomkins? Asshole. Michelle Simms? Probably the most redeemable character of the lot, but still an asshole. ASP isn&
