Saturday Night Live: The John Belushi and Comic Book Connection

Belushis first and most well-known appearance isMarvel Team-Up #74by Chris Claremont and Bob Hall, published in 1978. Im certain that Chris Claremont came up with that concept first and then wrote the entire story around it. It would have to be fake. If any Murray brother is worthy, its definitely Brian Doyle. Here, the two are more blatantly supposed to be the Blues Brothers. Those werent the only Blues Brothers knockoffs to show up in Marvel....

The Muppets: The Ex-Factor Review

When the first episode ofThe Muppetshit, one of the big deals was Kermits new girlfriend Denise. She wasnt all that memorable and proceeded to only make Kermit look like kind of a douche. Then again, that may have been the point all along. Despite the ego in there, its definitely right on the money in a meta sense. Shes more of a plot unit than a character. Regardless, The Ex-Factor works with it and gives us the best episode yet....

Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse: visiting the set

We went behind the scenes of Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse. Here’s what happened… The building looks amazing. Its June and were in California, and the lobby is providing welcome shade from the sun. Ive probably just been sent by accident. One of which, a gun that shoots doorknobs (made of rubber the magic of Hollywood! ), looks more than a little like the slime gun fromGhostbusters 2. Were then ushered back downstairs and through a large hall full of tables....

The Affair and the History of Television Multiverses

Its a notion that the series itself flirted with all the way back in its second episode. So you could, in a way, live both lives. But what would either have gained by telling Detective Jeffries a different sequence of events about their first kiss? Noahs laymans definition about sums up the basics of multiverses. Take NBCsCommunity, which tackled the notion in season three, episode 4, Remedial Chaos Theory. Jeff:(incredulous)Of course I am, Abed....

The Walking Dead: Here’s Not Here Review

Here is our review! ThisWalking Deadreview contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 4 Tonights episode ofThe Walking Deadwas fine. Will Morgan convert that Wolves maniac or will Morgans decision to keep him alive come back to bite him? Im guessing the latter. I think the big problem with the episode is its placement.

UNIT, shape-shifters and the Doctor cosplay.
