It was an uneventful close to an uneven season that managed to satisfy as much as it underwhelmed.

Declare your independence from pointless, mind numbing sequels that hit the screen two decades too late.

Siliicon Valley is back on track in the penultimate episode of its third season.

Vow of Silence represented all the best qualities of Larry David’s awkward comedic style and forever changed the way we see frozen yogurt.

Silicon Valley seems to finally be changing the script, to the benefit of us all.

Without tweaking the formula too much, Silicon Valley redirects its narrative and offers something more akin to heart and soul.

Things are going about the way they’ve always gone on the Mike Judge comedy, and that’s starting to become a problem.

The now leaderless Pied Piper struggles to make its way in the world, with hilarious, if awkward, results.

Now more than ever, Richard has the chance to prove himself as both an engineer and a leader. Can he step up to the throne?

While the Silicon Valley formula continues to work in the show’s favor, the show’s potential seems to be greater than what they strive for.

The win-lose cycle of the Silicon Valley formula still works, but something has to give lest the series risk becoming stale.

Day two of Moontower and everyone is wasted. Like, not in a funny “haha they were wasted” way. No – these folks are getting their money’s worth of entertainment. Jokes not funny? That’s ok, we’ll just take shots! Luckily, the jokes were funny so hopefully the fans of the fest woke up in their own […]

Moontower Comedy Fest’s 2016 opening night was a glorious reminder of what this festival has to offer.

Better Call Saul’s sophomore season ends at it existed: Slow, taut, and incredibly fascinating.

Things don’t need to move at a breakneck pace for Better Call Saul to be beautiful.

After a taut and stunning few episodes, Better Call Sauls reels it back somewhat as we advance towards the season two finale.

For a movie that knows what it wants to do, Eye in the Sky certainly does fail at pulling it off.

The Cousins from Breaking Bad make a terrifying return on Better Call Saul.
