Épisode 1 - The Moment The Simpsons Ruined Homer Simpson

3 janvier 2020

The best Simpsons episodes are usually from the same couple of seasons, and there's a reason for that. While the funniest Simpsons character is debatable, Homer is absolutely a contender. This show was built as a response to the sitcoms of the decade previous to its airing, and its original creators, succeeded in that vision. But Homer Simpson changed somewhere along the way, this is a look at how.

But for every funny moment, or even emotional one, there's a writer trying to better understand these characters. Rick and Morty may not be perfect, but its writers are nailing one of the most important tasks in television.

19 mars 2020

The very best Spongebob episodes are all pretty unique of one another, there’s no formula or exact science. Yet episodes like Squid’s day off and Pizza Delivery have a few things in common. Spongebob and Squidward have combined for some great moments, but there’s a few moments that I think mark the best of the show. This is a look at what a perfect Spongebob Squarepants episode looks like.

Épisode 19 - The WEIRD Reason Back To The Future Fired Marty McFly

23 mars 2020

Back To The Future is one of the most talked about movies in film history, but most people don’t know that the first Marty McFly is not the one that made it screens. These movies are still being screened across the world to this very day and are still huge talking points for people that love the medium. But Before Back to the Future 2 was even a thought, there was some serious casting changes happening on set. The same goes for another major character who didn’t make it past the first movie. Marty McFly was fired from Back to the Future and the other character walked away from the franchise.

Épisode 27 - The Time Futurama Broke Itself

31 mai 2020

Futurama is one of the greatest animated shows of all time. Bender, Fry and the rest of this universe may also be a great example of what can go wrong with one of modern medias most talked about trends, the retcon. While the best Futurama episodes all stand the test of time, one was changed, and not for the better. If you know anything about a waiting dog, you might be one step ahead. Sometimes the best media can magnify what works and what doesn't within a medium, Futurama is one of those pieces of media.

Épisode 30 - How Interstellar Created A Movie Inside A Movie

25 juin 2020

Interstellar is Christopher Nolan at his most grandiose. The movie, its score, Nolan's direction is a beautiful continuance of everything he accomplished in Inception. Yet, in Interstellar exists a movie inside a movie, a set piece done so perfectly that it could literally exist as its own film. This is the Inception of Interstellar.

Épisode 31 - The One Word Ruining Superhero Fight Scenes

30 juin 2020

Shazam is one of my favorite DC superhero movies. In fact, its a super hero movie that I had more fun with than any in recent memory. Yet, it does one thing that Man of Steel and plenty of other films in this genre do that I don't understand. I couldn't stop thinking one thing. Stop flying while fighting.

Épisode 32 - How To Film Horror In Just 7 Seconds

10 juillet 2020

Us is the second movie Jordan Peele has written and directed and it is one of the most interesting movies to get the mass hype of hollywood. In Us sits 7 seconds that are borderline perfect. This is a movie that seems to understand exactly what it is, and a director in complete control over that film.

Épisode 33 - The Weird Genius Of Adventure Time

22 juillet 2020

Adventure Time is one of the very greatest animated shows of all time. The best Adventure Time episodes are far more than what their surface presents, and this is part of its charm. Jake, Finn and Princess Bubblegum created a world that was complex, nuanced, and importantly, surprisingly harsh. That is exactly why Adventure Time is so hard to forget, it became a mirror the very things we experience and recognize.

Épisode 34 - The “Real” Fake Worlds Of Pixar

25 juillet 2020

Épisode 35 - The Strange Disappearance of Hey Arnold

7 août 2020

Hey Arnold was one of Nickelodeon’s most recognizable shows. The best Hey Arnold episodes, one’s that focused on Gerald or Mr.Wynn, we’re some of the best that animation had to offer on the network.

Épisode 37 - This Scene Is Everything Wrong With Disney's Live Action Remakes

16 août 2020

The Lion King Remake has a scene in it that I think might put on display everything wrong with Disney's live action remakes. Aladdin and Lion King are two sides of the same coin for Disney. On one hand, the company clearly wants to modernize their animated classics, but on the other, they seem to be confused about what that means. With Mulan switching things up even further, this Lion King scene might be an indication of what's to come.

Épisode 38 - Why You Still Remember Danny Phantom So Well

22 août 2020

Danny Phantom was a huge part of Nickelodeon's line up and popularity. The best Danny Phantom episodes are some of the best pieces of animation to come out of Nick. Yet the show did not have an incredibly long life. It did, however, play with cliche in a way that made the show more memorable than a lot of the other shows that saw similar success. This is what made Danny Phantom so hard to forget.

Épisode 40 - This Is NOT How People Talk

Épisode 41 - How An Episode Of Seinfeld Actually Works

30 novembre 2020

Épisode 1 - Why You Think You’ve Seen These Family Guy Jokes Before

28 février 2021

Family Guy has now been a staple of comedy for longer than could have been expected, and yet the conversation now revolves around what the show has become. The best Family Guy episodes put the Brian, Stewie, Peter and the Griffins in situations that are well thought out, but most importantly, structured. The quality of the show may vary, but what is certain is that the best Family Guy jokes all have a rhythm and set of rules that make the ones that land work.

Épisode 2 - How This Became The WORST Episode Of The Office

8 mars 2021

16 avril 2021

Épisode 11 - THIS Episode of Community Is Streets Ahead

17 mai 2021

Community was not your average sitcom. Time and time again Dan Harmon took Community in directions that were not typically seen in NBC's dynamite line up of half your comedies in the mid 2000's. The episode titled "Modern Warfare" is the prime example of taking a typical sitcom premise, and elevating it to a degree that only Dan Harmon could.

Épisode 12 - The WEIRD Truth Behind Parks and Rec's Forgotten Character

21 mai 2021

It's not often a cast as strong as Parks and Recreation comes together so seamlessly. Each and every character is funny and memorable, with the exception of Mark Brendanawicz. He never quite found his footing between characters like Leslie Knope, and Ron Swanson. And once we are introduced to Ben Wyatt and Chris Traeger, there was just no room left for Mark to thrive. Parks and Recreation will forever be remembered for the amazing cast of characters, with the exception of Mark Brendanawicz.

21 juin 2021

Everyone has a different favorite New Girl character, and all for different reasons. That's what makes a sitcom like this so special.

Mission Impossible is one of the most popular movie franchises of all time. Especially the later sequels, having put some of the greatest stunts ever put to film.

9 juillet 2021

Jurassic Park is by far one of the best blockbuster movies ever put on screen. It's considered an all time favorite by so many people, for so many reasons.

Épisode 27 - How Curb Your Enthusiasm Works WITHOUT A Script

12 juillet 2021

Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of the most interesting shows on television. Not just for the hilarious cast, insane story lines, or the pure genius of Larry David.

9 août 2021

In today's world of Stranger Things, A Quiet Place, and the bevy of other Monster content being made it seems a lot of the Monsters in these properties all start to look the same.
