Must Watch Netflix Originals
Netflix's new line of original television show series has become a huge project that created some of the most popular names in viewing. Though it would never have been conceivable a couple of years ago, Netflix Originals now share the same amount of media attention as classic cable TV shows.

Dear Naked and Afraid Producers, Isn't Being Afraid Enough?
It's hard to imagine a time in American history where a meager make-out session on a secluded beach would be considered scandalous, but in the heralded era of Old Hollywood, that was the case. Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster, stars of From Here to Eternity, weren't messing around when they were rolling around and exchanging kisses that would make even the French look inexperienced.

Review of Game of Thrones 7.6
I thought last night's Game of Thrones 7.6 was the best episode so far in the entire series. We finally got to see the battle between the dragons and the dead. Dragon fire versus dead ice and everything that led up to it last night was peak Game of Thrones, profound and breathtaking. And the battle itself...

How the Target Audience of Game of Thrones Has Changed
I am going to begin this post by stating that this will not be discussion of the poor quality of writing, gaping plot holes, or vast inconsistencies that have plagued the show in the past few seasons. This post will not go into the details of how the show has veered off and completely ignored the internal logic of its own universe. This is not a post that will excuse all that is wrong with the show. All of that will be discussed in a separate post. Instead, this post will take a look at how, as the show evolved, the audience that the show runners decided to target changed over the course of the series.

6 Reasons 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Is the Best Reality TV Show
With RuPaul Charles winning his first Emmy and Lady Gaga making an appearance in the ninth season; which was the shows most watched season to date, RuPaul's Drag Race is starting to become popular with more than just the LGBT community. For die-hard fans of the show it's obvious why the show is slowly becoming one of the most popular reality shows around, but for people who have never watched the show or just seen the odd episode it's strange to think that men in drag competing to be "America's next drag superstar" could really make such an inspirational show for such a wide audience. But really Drag Race has all the ingredients you need to make the perfect reality show.

This Week I Am Mostly Watching
Do you want to know what I love more than anything else in the world? Quirky little television shows that seem to appear from out of nowhere, capture the imagination of the masses then disappear without too much drama. While shows like Game of Thrones and Walking Dead, with their massive budgets, grab the headlines and bully their way to the top. It's shows like Farscape that skip along to the beat of their own drum, all the while charming us to within an inch of our lives with their eccentric and infectious sense of humour.

Twin Peaks 2017: The Phantom of Phillip Jeffries
Although it's the story of Laura Palmer first and foremost, Fire Walk With Me's show is arguably stolen by the disturbing first (and so far only) appearance of FBI Special Agent Phillip Jeffries. Played by legendary pop-culture icon David Bowie, Jeffries appears from thin air at the FBI headquarters, only moments after Coop tells Cole he's concerned about this day because of a dream he had. Coop leaves to check the security monitors, as Jeffries materialises from an elevator, seemingly pausing time as he does; he enters Cole's office where Albert, Gordon and Coop look on stunned as Jeffries goes on a bizarre, no-sequiter leaden rant, making many reference to a woman named Judy. The lines between worlds blur as static crackles and Jeffries' words become images; above the convenience store BOB and The Man From Another Place have cryptic, cackling exchanges across a dinner table as a white masked, red suited imp jumps shrieking around them, while two woodsmen, Mrs. Tremond and her grandson look on impassively - the nightmare ends with a close up of a monkey howling in the darkness. Before they have a chance to question him, Jeffries disappears back into the ether, gone as quickly as he arrived. The cacophonous sound effects, sinister imagery and Jeffries' manic narration combine here to create one of Twin Peaks most terrifying and unforgettable moments.

Disney Gets Ready to Stream the Magic Kingdom
Technology has blown a hole in the traditional entertainment business model. That’s been true for some time — at least since 2007 when Netflix vastly reduced its position in the DVD rental business and committed to streaming content directly to consumers. Now, Disney, the whale in the waters of entertainment content, has announced plans to get into the streaming game.

Just Grubbin Series: Game of Mic Drops
Spoilers Ahead! Episode 3 So we all know Jon Snow is Daenerys’s Nephew but that hasn’t stopped us from rooting for them to bone. (For the good of the realm ya know) Well, we finally got to watch as they stood face to face in pure sexual tension and this is what happened: Messendi started things off by listing all 37 of Danny’s titles which, was quickly followed up by a classic Davos response: “Ah this is Jon…he’s king in the north…so yeah.” Perfection. While Danny took an intense angle, going into why she is such a bad bitch and her struggle to the top, Jon went with logic. His approach was simple yet elegant: “everyone chill about the Iron Throne, there’s zombies now.” (I’m paraphrasing of course). Davos almost blew it by dropping the whole Jon Snow resurrection bomb fifteen minutes into their first conversation. Come on Davos, you can’t lead with zombies and follow it up with resurrection! Too soon! Far too soon!
