A Riverdalified Scooby-Doo is going to be crazy. I hope it's like a YA Evil, and every week it could be a guy in a mask or something actually supernatural deadline.com/2024/04/scooby…

Been rewatching 30 Rock, and it really is so sad that people aren’t allowed to make shows that mean anymore.

this piece from Lexi Kent-Monning about being on the new girl set w/ prince is my favorite essay of the year pastemagazine.com/music/prince/p…

'Most game-changing series, which have driven up subscribers for platforms, like Stranger Things, Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon and Reacher, have not been star vehicles but star-makers.' 🔔🔔🔔deadline.com/2024/04/hollyw…

Shogun is over. FX's next limited series is spy thriller The Veil, which premieres next week. I reviewed it for TV Guide. Makes me yearn for another season of Special Ops, whether Lioness or not. tvguide.com/news/the-veil-…

Ahoy! Black Sails, aka Deadwood at Sea, is now on Netflix. I wrote about it for Tudum. netflix.com/tudum/articles…

I appreciated the Adam Curtis influence in Civil War. Very HyperNormalised movie.

I'm back on Paste Magazine with a history of L.A. noir TV. This is a fun one. Any chance I get to write about TOO OLD TO DIE YOUNG, I have to take it.

New Dad Shows breaking...

If you ever wanted to see Founding Farter Benjamin Franklin rip ass, buddy, do I have a show for you.

Enough time has passed that I think we should really have the conversation about what it would look like if the Pope blasted cigs.

Sugar, Colin Farrell’s noir homage private eye mystery, premieres on Apple TV+ today. I wrote about it for Dad Shows. It’s a very weird, very intriguing show. Recommended for Dads who wish they were cool like Humphrey Bogart.

Ripley is not just a great Dad Show, it's also the best show of the year so far. dadshows.substack.com/p/ripley-and-s…

Is Shogun a Dad Show? dadshows.substack.com/p/3-body-probl…

It's time for a new Dad Shows.

Shōgun and 3 Body Problem aren't exactly Dad Shows. But they're not not Dad Shows, either. And they both have Some 'Damn That's Crazy' Shit.

Read about them on Substack:
