Who’s In It? Ben Sinclair
What’s It All About? Every stoner has a story. This scripted comedy is based on a successful web series of the same name, in which Sinclair plays “The Guy,” a pot dealer who makes deliveries by bicycle all around Brooklyn. Each stop he makes affords a glimpse into the lives of some of the city’s most eccentric characters and why they’re getting high. HBO has ordered six new episodes, and has also acquired all 19 previous episodes of the web series.

“The Newsroom” Episode 4 recap: Love, Gun

July 17, 2012 Matthew Grimm Drama, Recap, TV News & Program Updates 3

Kathryn Hahn popped up on Episode 4 of The Newsroom, playing a rambunctious, randy, pistol-packing date of curmudgeonly hero Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels). McAvoy, you’ll recall, is a conservative TV anchorman who, in midlife pique, has decided to tell the truth, working in tandem with MacKenzie (Emily Mortimer) his former girlfriend-who-blew-up-the-relationship-by-schtupping-her-ex, and their unabashed truthtelling putting both on a hot-seat. As important, Kathryn Hahn was on-screen for two minutes. I point this out because Kathryn Hahn rules your face, whether you know it or not.

If you had trouble knowing who to root for as Divorce Season 1 came to a close, you weren’t alone. Frances (Sarah Jessica Parker) cruelly kiboshed estranged husband Robert’s fledgling business. Robert (Thomas Haden Church) dispatched Frances’ erstwhile lover Julian to her gallery opening and falsely reported her to the cops for “kidnapping” their kids. So where are the feuding exes as Season 2 dawns? Blessedly over it. And getting on with it. “Everybody made a committee decision that we’re just gonna get those documents signed and stamped in the first five minutes and be done with it and move […]

Boardwalk Empire recap Season 4 episode 10 ‘White Horse Pike’

November 11, 2013 Matthew Grimm Drama, Recap Comments Off on Boardwalk Empire recap Season 4 episode 10 ‘White Horse Pike’

Nothing uglies up the broad tapestry of American history quite like our human rights record as pertains to ethnic minorities, even if the viler machinations of institutional racism remain dark little secrets. For a series that does naught to bleach the gross inequities of American commerce, politics and graft-riddled excesses of the 1920s, Boardwalk Empire just ventured even deeper into this still-more-draconian aspect of American realpolitik. It did so with a hinted reveal, that Chalky White’s (Michael Kenneth Williams) season-long nemesis Dr. Narcisse (Jeffrey Wright) may be more than just a bullying thug, but even worse because he undertakes his […]
