Telly Savales Makes An Evil Isaac Robot on THE LOVE BOAT

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/06/18

Late in The Love Boat's run the show fell out of step with the culture, but it tried to stay relevant and exciting by taking on-location foreign cruises that were sort of like travelogues. Remember, this was an era when the cast of a sitcom shooting an episode in Hawaii was a major event. This week's episode - which is the first half of a 2-hour TV movie mercilessly chopped with no consideration - brings a great guest cast that includes Telly Savales, Janet Jackson, Susannah York and Jack Klu...

SPIDER-NOIR Episodes 5-8

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/06/11

It gets better! The back half of the first (only?) season of Amazon's Spider-Noir is a marked improvement over the first half, which is a great relief to us. We are left with some questions, chief of which is: is Ben Reilly a really shitty human being? All signs point to yes, unfortunately. Before that: leaked Spider-Man trailer! 24 Jump Street! Two guys who don't much enjoy Oz Perkins movies! And much more! If you don't care about any of that, skip right to 56:15. After this we have a ...

SPIDER-NOIR Episodes 1-4

2026/06/04

Spinning out of the blockbuster classic animated movie Into the Spider-Verse comes Spider-Noir, a live action series featuring Nicolas Cage in his first TV role. He's Ben Reilly, a Depression era PI who used to be The Spider, a web-slinging superhero. But when mob boss Silvermane starts stirring up trouble Ben is forced to go back to the swinging lifestyle and deal with a new wave of super powered weirdos. The thing is... should Spider-Man be this old? And can a show be well shot, well writte...

Don Knotts Boards THE LOVE BOAT!

2026/05/28

Welcome to the calm before the Spider-Noir storm, a calm we're filling with another episode of The Love Boat! This one has multiple stories of people using very immoral deception to find love, Don Knotts being pursued by Julie Newmar, and Isaac the bartender acting like he had a traumatic brain injury before boarding the boat. Before that: tons of trailers! Some thoughts on the upcoming Primetime, where Robert Pattinson plays Chris Hansen! Early word on Disclosure Day! And so much more....

THE BOYS Series Finale

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/05/21

One of the most prophetic shows to ever air on television has come to an end. The Boys, which seemed to be somehow parodying the Trump administration in real time, finished up with an episode bookended by funerals and featuring some significant deaths... and the upsetting reappearance of Frenchie, TV's most irritating character. Did the satirical superhero show stick the landing? Did they spend all of the budget elsewhere? Has any onscreen couple had less chemistry than Jack Quaid and Erin Mo...

PUNISHER: ONE LAST KILL

2026/05/14

Frank's back, and he's brought The Raid and John Wick with him. This special event episode takes place... well, we can't tell when it takes place. Or what exactly is the point. Or why the audio was so screwy. Or what it has to do with Daredevil: Born Again or Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Lotta guys get killed though. Before that: Sex Criminals! Doomsday trailer speculation! 28 Years Later Part 3 hope! Much more! If you don't care about any of that, skip right to 29:02. Want your questions...

DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN: "The Southern Cross"

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/05/07

The season comes to a conclusion with a confrontation in a court of law, and maybe it's the writers who should be on trial! This finale is a strange mix of absolutely incomprehensible dumbness and totally kickass dumbness. But it's got a lot of dumbness, any way you look at it. Before that: a new Planet of the Apes! Why does The Odyssey trailer stink? And is the MCU Spidey unburdened by the death of Uncle Ben? If you don't care about any of that skip right to 49:36. Want your questions ...

DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN: "The Hateful Darkness"

2026/04/30

Karen's in jail but Daredevil can't break her out - can Matt Murdock be of use? Daniel and BB come to a fateful moment (and she becomes way too annoying), Kingpin deals with jewelry, and Jessica Jones sees Mr. Charles' peepee. Before that: Is Ms. Marvel in Doomsday? Masters of the Universe drops its dumbest and best trailer yet. What I would tell Francis Ford Coppola if I could go back in time, and a spoiler discussion of the latest episode of The Boys. Don't care about any of that? Skip righ...

DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN: "Requiem"

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/04/23

Vanessa Fisk gets buried about thirty minutes after she dies, while Daredevil and Jessica Jones have a convo on one of the ugliest and more boring sets this show has ever given us. As the city begins to boil over because of Kingpin's AVTF, the man without fear and his ultimate nemesis come to blows yet again... but to what end? This episode is getting an A for effort, but how does it score otherwise? Before that: trailers for Clayface, Evil Dead Burn and Coyote vs Acme. A strange detour into ...

DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN: "The Grand Design"

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/04/16

Foggy is back, which is good news or bad news depending on how you feel about the character. Either way, he's only back in flashbacks and holy cow do we get some wigs in those scenes. In the present day Michael Gandolfini is living his own Sopranos episode while Daredevil and Bullseye pal around in tunnels. Is it "while" or are they happening at very different times? The continuity in this episode is a disaster! Before that: new trailers, more Man of Tomorrow casting, and we answer the questi...

DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN: "Gloves Off"

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/04/09

Kingpin gets into the ring and he's not holding back, and neither is Bullseye, who kills a bunch of ATVF jerks in a couple of very, very fun scenes. This episode seems to bring Born Again closer to comic book goodness, but why is Daredevil running down the street like that? Before that: Man of Tomorrow casting rumors, the Defenders on the set of Born Again season 3, the joys of cake and where have all the serial killers gone. Plus: Troop Beverly Hills sparks an argument? If you don't ca...

How do you get to Red Hook? Somebody tell Daredevil that you take the F to Smith/9th Street and either walk a bit or you can hop on the B61, because he and Karen spend a lot of time in these two episodes trying to figure it out. While they figure it out they meet a cute AVTF agent and tell him they liked his vibe and that's why they tied him to a chair, Kingpin is in a boxing match I guess, Michael Gandolfini continues to be the best actor on the show and Bullseye is carrying his own lighting...

2026/03/26

The vigilante of Hell's Kitchen is back and this time he's got big Double Ds on his chest. Wilson Fisk is running New York City, the ICE comparisons are probably accidental, and Matt Murdock is living in hiding as the second season of the Marvel show gets off to a bit of a slow start. Before that: the trailer for the Harry Potter TV show sucks, the trailer for Dune 3 is good, Wonder Man gets a second season, and we talk about our formative genre experiences.

DAREDEVIL Issue #1

2026/03/23

Before we begin covering Daredevil: Born Again season 2, we figured we would go back to where it all started - 1964's Daredevil #1. It's the first appearance of the Man Without Fear, and it's got his origin, his first outing in costume, and a couple of mentions of his supple body. What's up with that, Stan Lee? Before that: a couple of obituaries, whether or not Ryan Gosling is a star, and what should you get an edgelord 13 year old for his birthday? If you don't care about that, skip right t...

V: THE FINAL BATTLE Episode 3

Across the Omniverse ·

2026/03/17

It all ends here, and it all ends kinda quickly. After ten hours of storytelling the V franchise throws in telepathy and starchildren in the last ten minutes, a truly bizarre choice. This episode touches on so many interesting ideas and has time for none of them, and it's a blood bath but few of the deaths are satisfying. But you do get to visit a hot air balloon festival. Before that: we discuss the 98th Annual Academy Awards! The winners, the losers, the general quality of the movies ...

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Michael Ironside to the show. Yes, one of the great tough guy character actors joins the resistance against the Visitors, playing a guy named Ham. This episode has unexplained surgery, Mike Donovan ratting out a friend and the alien babies are born! It's got everything.

At the end of V: The Original Miniseries our heroes won a battle but the war rages on! The ragtag group of LA resistance fighters come up with a plan to turn public sentiment against the Visitors, but is it too risky? Is there too much Mike Donovan? Why are we shoehorning an unearned romance plot into this one? And will Willie and Harmony manage to get it on in a supply closet? Before that: The new GI Joe movie mishigoss.

The resistance takes the battle to the Visitors in the final part of the original miniseries. We discover the Visitors' true plans for Earth and the human race, Robin is infuriating, Mike Donovan's got quips for days and there's the longest, lowest energy dogfight we've ever seen. Before that: Why the hell is there a Toy Story 5? What makes Dune 3 eerie? Can we trust James Gunn's denials anymore? What's the best Pearl Jam song? And did V For Vendetta rip off V the miniseries?
