Chris Gethard Entertainment Television Watch Of The Week

‘The Chris Gethard Show’ is weird and wild. Watch it now.

sudshr47 September 7, 2018

The Chris Gethard Show is not your typical talk show. And that’s what makes it amazing.

Hosted by comedian Chris Gethard, The Chris Gethard Show is a wonderful, free-flowing mix of improv comedy, heartfelt stories, live music, call-ins, and camaraderie that combine to create some unforgettable and highly entertaining live television. Lucky for fans and anyone who wants to check it out, there’s a ton of episodes available for free on the show’s YouTube page.

Sadly the show will not be coming back for another season, as Gethard announced in August, but The Chris Gethard Show is one of the most wholesome comedic shows to ever hit television — certainly one worth watching. Read more…

Downward Dog Entertainment Movies Tv Shows Watch Of The Week

‘Downward Dog’ is the TV equivalent of an emotional support animal

sudshr47 August 10, 2018

If 2018 has shown us anything definitive, it is that human beings are garbage.

Dogs, on the other hand, remain literal angels whom we do not deserve.

Case in point: Last year, ABC had in its hands one of the purest, most hysterical, most heartwarming comedies on television. It was basically an Office-style mockumentary, but from the perspective of a dog who’s the only one who gets to speak directly to camera in confessional-style interviews.

Through the lens of its irresistibly charming protagonist, Martin the Dog, we see the absurdity of human behavior. But it’s also a reminder of the emotional lives our animal companions lead — like the stress of needing at least fourteen hours of sleep a day, while also finding time to protect your person from the dangers of vacuums.

Entertainment Gaming The Banner Saga Watch Of The Week

‘The Banner Saga’ series is a beautiful journey of struggle and loss

sudshr47 August 3, 2018

A mysterious darkness is sweeping across the land. Long-dormant enemies are on the move. Families, villages, and entire cities are being uprooted.

What do you do?

The Banner Saga 3 was released on July 26, completing The Banner Saga trilogy in stunning fashion and bringing closure to the heart-wrenching journey that began in 2014. With the full series now available, it’s the perfect time to settle in and play through the series in its entirety.

The Banner Saga is a narrative-driven game set in a beautiful and haunting fantasy world inspired by Viking myths. Within that world, you play as a few different protagonists who are fighting against the odds to survive wave after wave of turmoil that threatens to topple you and everyone you love at every turn.

Entertainment Inuyashiki Last Hero Movies Tv Shows Watch Of The Week

Aliens kill an old man and turn him into a W.M.D. in ‘Inuyashiki: Last Hero,’ a bizarre must-watch

sudshr47 July 27, 2018

It’s hard to imagine there’s a large target audience for a hyper-violent animated show about an unloved old man who gets blown up by aliens shortly after a cancer diagnosis and transformed, immediately, into a weapon of mass destruction intent on defending the dignity of the homeless and other cast-outs — but here it is anyway, Inuyashiki: Last Hero, a miserable and addictive sci-fi action series streaming now on Amazon.

Often quite upsetting (if you don’t think you can get past watching an infant drown in a tub filled with his dad’s own blood, this is, assuredly, not the show for you), Inuyashiki nonetheless serves as a remarkable and unexpected superhero story for 2018, when everything feels cynical and each new entry in an unending supply of phone notifications makes the bile rise just a bit higher in your throat.

Entertainment Harlots Movies Tv Shows Watch Of The Week

Harlots is the other woman-driven Hulu show everyone should be talking about

sudshr47 July 20, 2018

There’s a show on Hulu about women who are trying to survive in a patriarchal society. They dress in easily recognizable outfits. Better-situated people call them sluts or whores, and the men they have sex with are sometimes horribly violent and always transactional. The worst thing that could happen to these women is being sent to “the colonies,” but that’s only if they aren’t hanged first. It’s a fascinating look at the micro-worlds women create to protect themselves and their agency, and also there are at least nine towering, silly-looking powdered wigs per episode.

Oh, right. Not that show. The other one. This one’s actually a lot of fun. Read more…

Chewing Gum Entertainment Netflix Watch Of The Week

This Netflix hidden gem is the must-watch comedy for our dark times

sudshr47 June 22, 2018

At times like these, politics can make it feel impossible (if not downright irresponsible) to laugh. Ironically, these are also times when we most need the release and common ground of comedy.
So heed our advice: In dark moments, turn to the effusive…

Dietland Dietland Amc Entertainment Summer Tv Watch Of The Week

‘Dietland’ is a trippy revenge fantasy designed to make you feel weird

sudshr47 June 8, 2018

Describing AMC’s Dietland is hard.

On its face, it’s the story of an overweight woman who is trying to lose enough pounds to qualify for lap band surgery. After 20 minutes of watching, it’s a darkly comedic satire of the culture that asks women to adhere to conventional beauty standards at the risk of damaging themselves.

After three episodes… it’s something entirely different.

Dietland is based on a book by Sarai Walker that was praised for its feminist ideals and wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing premise. The show takes these ideals and runs with them, using its exaggerated characters to shine an increasingly harsh light on rape culture and the millions of heaping slights that women are subjected to in a world that views them as objects first and people second.

Comedy Entertainment Hari Kondabolu Netflix Watch Of The Week

Hari Kondabolu’s ‘Warn Your Relatives’ is the best detox from hate speech

sudshr47 June 1, 2018

It’s been quite a week for TV personalities with a penchant for hate speech and “controversial” opinions that just hurt people. In the wake of Roseanne‘s cancellation, many are wondering what celebrities can and can’t say – or what views they should espouse in the first place.

Hari Kondabolu’s Warn Your Relatives premiered on Netflix May 8, a culmination of months and years of the comic’s work. In the hourlong special, Kondabolu tackles the rise of white supremacy and both casual and severe racism – but he also reads hilarious texts from his mother and pontificates with gusto about mangoes.
