August 27, 2015 By Mark Stack Leave a Comment

Ballers The Rock Rob Corddry HBO

We asked resident Entourage apologists Rafael Gaitan and Mark Stack to team up and discuss each week of the spiritual Entourage sequel Ballers. After taking a bye after the previous installment of Ballin’ on Ballers hack shocking cliffhanger, Mark Raffalo returns to tackle the penultimate and final episodes of the show’s first season as disappointment hangs in the air.

Ballin’ on Ballers: Breakfast Spreads and Other Delights

August 5, 2015 By Mark Stack Leave a Comment

Ballers Ends HBO

We asked resident Entourage apologists Rafael Gaitan and Mark Stack to team up and discuss each week of the spiritual Entourage sequel Ballers. This week they debate Ricky’s culpability in perpetuating a cycle of abandonment, the show’s baffling Oedipal predilections, and fantasize about hopeful casting coups. Mark: Man, things got real serious real quick this episode as the […]

Ballers The Rock Rob Corddry

We asked resident Entourage apologists Rafael Gaitan and Mark Stack to team up and discuss each week of the spiritual Entourage sequel Ballers.

Meta Mercenaries: Mr. Robot Doesn’t Just Hack the Planet, it Hacks Reality

July 20, 2015 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Mr Robot USA

This week at Loser City we’re going to be discussing some meta mercenary works, commercial projects that tried to thwart their for-hire origins with some self-commentary, for better or for worse. Today’s entry is on Mr. Robot, a strange USA Network show that initially seemed to be about a vigilante hacker caught in a world wide […]

Penny Dreadful Season Two Finale Review

July 9, 2015 By Nicholas Slayton Leave a Comment

Penny Dreadful Ethan Werewolf

S2E09 “And Hell Itself My Only Foe” “And Hell Itself My Only Foe” served as an epic set up for a season finale, filling itself with developments and cliffhangers, with the right pacing to keep the story moving forward. It also showed a marked improvement in John Logan’s pacing compared to season one. Although both […]

Penny Dreadful S2E08 “Memento Mori” Review

June 25, 2015 By Nicholas Slayton Leave a Comment

Penny Dreadful Memento Mori

A tip of the hat to creator and writer John Logan. Beyond the occasional pacing issue, he’s kept Penny Dreadful a rich and smart show, but most of all treated the audience with respect. He’s avoided drawing out plots that could easily become frustrating — Hecate (Sarah Greene) attempting to seduce and distract Ethan (Josh […]

Penny Dreadful S2E07 “Little Scorpion” Review

June 18, 2015 By Nicholas Slayton Leave a Comment

Penny Dreadful Little Scorpion Eva Green

The ties that bind in Penny Dreadful are a strange thread. The company of heroes isn’t full of nice people — Vanessa Ives has committed selfish actions that doomed others, Ethan Chandler took part in the genocide of Native Americans, Sir Malcolm Murray killed and abused his way across Africa in the name of “exploration,” […]
