Supergirl (2015) s05e08 – The Wrath of Rama Khan
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 7, 2019
The episode opens with Supergirl flying to Lena’s secret base to try to reason with her but Lena ignores her because Lena’s already got the bestest friend she could ever have in Andrea Brooks, who used to be Ms. Teschmacher but is now the AI Lena created to keep her company when she planned on beat read more
“Meddling Kids”
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 7, 2019
You know what’s not a word? Self-depreciating. Self-deprecating is a word, self-depreciating is not. I wish I’d consulted a dictionary in high school when I added the word—which I pronounced self-deprecating but a friend definitely told me it was pronounced self-depreciating; I could’ve won read more
Superstore (2015) s01e04 – Mannequin
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 7, 2019
“Superstore” significantly ups its game this episode. The cold open has Jonah (Ben Feldman) trying to show off how well he’s bonded with his coworkers by unintentionally insulting most of them. The sequence ends in a great banter showdown between manager Mark McKinney and assistant manager Lauren read more
All Rise (2019) s01e09 – How to Succeed in Law Without Really Re-Trying
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 7, 2019
Okay, when I said “All Rise” reminded me of “Major Crimes,” maybe I shouldn’t have cursed the show with an Ever Carradine guest star. Carradine plays an old defense lawyer nemesis of Simone Missick’s, who’s got an appeal—she wants to get alt-righter, white supremacist Ben Leasure out read more
Becker (1998) s01e13 – Becker the Elder
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 7, 2019
Whenever an episode of “Becker” starts, I hold my breath until the writing credit comes up. This one’s from series creator Dave Hackel, who likes doing the Ted Danson is a master doctor and basically right bastard; the episode opens with him ranting about little people. And even though it’s read more
Becker (1998) s01e14 – Larry Spoke
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 7, 2019
This episode of “Becker” has Steven Wright guest starring, so even though it’s not the best writing for Steven Wright, it’s still at least great whenever Wright is on screen. Wright’s a new patient of Ted Danson’s who hears God. God’s name is Larry and Larry tells Steven Wright to repaint read more

Superstore (2015) s01e03 – Shots and Salsa
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 7, 2019
This episode is one of those sitcom episodes where you’re laughing so loud and so constantly, there’s a chance you’re going to miss something. If it weren’t paced well. And it’s paced extremely well, between Ruben Fleischer’s direction and Justin Spitzer’s writing, there’s always the read more
Superstore (2015) s01e02 – Magazine Profile
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 7, 2019
Two months have passed since the previous episode—based on how long new guy Ben Feldman has been at the store and he’s gotten a settled in. During those two months he’s apparently chilled on the America Ferrera romantic interest, or—more likely—the writers realized they were rushing that plot read more

The Super Inframan (1975, Hua Shan)
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 6, 2019
Until the third act, Super Inframan at least keeps a brisk pace. The movie’s got almost nothing going for it—other than Chen Yung—yu frankly courageous very seventies score and even it’s a small blip of goodness, not a positive feature—but at least it moves. It doesn’t drag through the entire read more
“Go to the hills”
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 6, 2019
I got my MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago, which both does and doesn’t seem on brand for me. I wasn’t an art school kind of person but I’ve always been a believer in making an education from what’s available in a place, which sucks because I’ve gone on to give that advice only to have read more

The Mandalorian (2019) s01e04 – Sanctuary
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 6, 2019
It’s a really good thing the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) has seen Seven Samurai, otherwise he’d have no idea he and new pal Gina Carano (as a former Rebel shock trooper) would be able to train the villagers to take on the raiders out for their crops. The villagers hire Pascal, who’s on this backwate read more
