Zombies are nothing new. They’ve been a staple of the silver screen, starting in 1968 with Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, to today’s modern 28 Weeks Later and Zombieland. Zombies feature prominently in books, comics, music (think Michael Jackson’s Thriller), and especially video games. Yet somehow, it took until 2010 for the zombie hordes […]
In the lead up to its 5th season premier, Mad Men has been inspiring a lot of pre-emptive coverage. Most of it is the usual fawning adulation, or a discussion of the fashion that has made the show so iconic, but quite a few have been reaction pieces by non fans. People who feel the […]
Sometimes I think I may be the ideal audience for NBC’s Smash. I was into theater my whole life, having gotten my start performing intricately choreographed numbers to Ace of Base’s “I Saw the Sign” at age 6.

I’m aware of its absurdity, marvel at its shocking longevity and cherish it like nothing else with a love and nostalgia the likes of which are only shared by my fellow twenty-somethings who were also mere […]
(see Part I- “Abandoning Idol…“)… which brings me to the show that’s very quickly replacing American Idol in the ratings and has long since replaced it in the minds and hearts of discerning, modern audiences. The Voice. The high-concept competition was a risk for NBC and the format, though a good one, could have done […]
“Who is Don Draper?” began season four of Mad Men. After the flat out rapturous season three finale that showed Don and other key members of Sterling Cooper throwing off the chains of corporate oppression in a frenzy of individualistic joy, the fourth season began months into the future, where the glow of doing something […]
