Freakshow 106: Strongman Competition
Tonight the Venice Beach Freakshow is hosting a strongman competition. It looks to be the opponents will be The Illustrated Penguin, who can lift five to ten pounds through his stretched ear lobes, and Billy Owen, Todd’s mystery character tonight. In between meeting The Illustrated Penguin and Billy Owen, we see a fellow lifting weights by putting blunt hooks into his eye sockets with weights on chains, and Morgue treats us to a quick hook through his mouth and out his nose trick. Billy Owen… Read More »
Face Off – Alien Apocalypse
The final cut for the Face Off finale tasks the remaining four contestants with the creation of a hybrid alien based on species from SyFy’s upcoming space opera/western Defiance. Before we jump into tonight’s recap, congrats to Face Off on the announcement of their fifth season, which SyFy announced this week. I’ll discuss the prospects of another season a bit more later. But first we have some aliens to dissect. Wayne, Anthony, Fox and Kris head to the studio for a no-nonsense reveal of this… Read More »
Bates Motel Pilot
“Bates Motel” is a prequel to the critically acclaimed and mega successful 1960 film, Psycho, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. However, this is not the first time that there has been a television show titled “Bates Motel”. In 1987, the show was changed from a pilot to a made for television movie instead by Universal when the weekly show was not picked up. The writers had opted to kill off the main character, Norman Bates, which probably played into the subsequent disinterest and low ratings, along… Read More »
Lost Girl – Ceremony
The Dawning finally dawns on Lost Girl, as Bo trips through some sloppy metaphors and gets back to her human roots while discovering her inner Galadriel. I wanted to hate this episode, and it gave me plenty of reasons to. I mean, it starts out with only a warning for language and violence, with not a single mention of sexual situations or nudity. What the hell? It would be fine if they slipped some into the episode anyway. Everyone knows unexpected nudity is the best… Read More »
The Following Episode 9: Love Hurts
Episode nine of The Following is aptly named, “Love Hurts”. From Jacob and Paul to Emma and Carroll, and Hardy and Claire, love is the central theme, but this love isn’t going to feel very good tonight. Then again, this isn’t a romantic show, now is it? It starts off at the FBI Field Office in Richmond, Virginia, where Parker and Hardy are sitting down for a conference call with the NSA, BATF and CIA. The FBI has projected Carroll’s cult to be around one… Read More »
Walking Dead – Prey
This week’s Walking Dead episode was like a mini horror movie, tense and terrifying and filled with some classic horror tropes. The first few minutes of the episode (other than a brief flashback to Andrea and Michonne’s time on the run together) involves the boring politics of Woodbury. Milton and Andrea realize how truly sick the Gov is when they see his torture room that he’s prepped for Michonne. All kinds of creepy stuff going on there, including a speculum. Be careful Googling that. Andrea… Read More »
Immortalized, Episode 5: Love and War
In tonight’s quest for the title, we see the challenger Rick Nadeau going head-to-head with the Immortalizer Page Nethercutt. The challenger, Rick Nadeau, is from Mitchell, Illinois, and he’s known as ‘the squirrel man’. He can perform taxidermy on a squirrel in under two minutes. He’s mounted over 2,500 squirrels in 10 years and claims nobody can do what he can do. His motivation to win is to help his taxidermy business so that he can do it full time. The Immortalizer, Page Nethercutt, is… Read More »
Freakshow 105: Meet the Family
In episode five, “The Littlest Wedding”, another Freakshow sometimes member, Digger, calls Todd and asks if he can come down because he needs some money. It turns out Digger’s a hobo. He hitchhikes, hops trains, and basically lives hand-to-mouth, but nothing is mentioned of his special freakshow quality. Ali shows up with her boyfriend Matt and reveals she has been given an engagement ring. Everyone at the freakshow becomes ecstatic. We get to meet her hilarious and spunky boyfriend, who is also a little person,… Read More »
Face Off – Mummy Mayhem
Face Off gives us a very cool Evil Dead themed challenge, all five remaining contestants do killer mummy designs, and then I lose all faith in the judges completely and forever. At the increasingly empty house, we find that Meagan left everyone notes scrawled on mirrors as a parting gift. That’s such a perfect combination of sweet and kind of creepy. I didn’t notice if any of the notes said, “CALL 911 OR YOU’LL DIE.” Can we get a kidney check, final five? Everyone have… Read More »
Lost Girl – Fae-ge Against the Machine
On Lost Girl, we learn of the existence of the fae X-Men while Bo goes off on a MacGuffinQuest and Lauren gets a trophy. My notes for this episode look like a list of random terms and names. The plot was total nonsense, yet it was still fun. It felt at times like Bo was in the middle of a game of Zork. “You are standing in a random field holding a fortune cookie. There is a tall, blonde valkyrie here. She is looking really,… Read More »
