Rob Lowe is a man of many talents: He’s devilishly handsome, a member of the Brat Pack, and a six-time Golden Globe nominee for work including Thursday’s Child, The West Wing and, more recently, The Grinder. But did you know that the celebrated actor is also a paranormal junkie?

Rob’s curiosity for the unexplained began during his childhood, and in A&E’s new reality series The Lowe Files (Wednesdays beginning Aug. 2 at 10pm ET/PT), Lowe and his sons Matthew and John Owen travel around the country and explore infamous unsolved mysteries. In each episode, the Lowes investigate a spooky legend and, after meeting with top experts and conducting scientific experiments, debate the validity of the story.

A few of the missions into the unexplained include: exploring an alien base located 2,000 feet underwater off the coast of Malibu; working with a renowned shaman at an abandoned boys reformatory; and training with a top-secret government operative in methods used for identifying images taken from great distances. And Rob is OK if he and his sons can’t prove the unexplained — his real goal is to spend time with his beloved boys.

OK, on with this week’s Duck Dynasty recap: “Si-Amese Twins” The first words we hear in this episode are “Don’t Taze […]

Emerald City on NBC Takes Us Off To See The Wizard Again

January 5, 2017 Jeff Pfeiffer Drama, Magazine Archive, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Comments Off on Emerald City on NBC Takes Us Off To See The Wizard Again

As you can probably tell from its title, NBC’s new drama series Emerald City uses elements of L. Frank Baum’s classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz as its launching point into telling the fantastical story of a young woman’s journey into a mysterious world. Given the number of Oz retellings that there have been over the decades, you might be wondering if another adaptation is worth taking the trip over the rainbow. But in its lush and colorful presentation, its gritty realism even as it creates another world, and its development of character archetypes we thought we had already known […]

‘Sharp Objects’ on HBO: We Talk With Gillian Flynn, Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson, Eliza Scanlen!

June 30, 2018 Lori Acken Drama, Interview, Magazine Archive Comments Off on ‘Sharp Objects’ on HBO: We Talk With Gillian Flynn, Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson, Eliza Scanlen!

Sharp Objects premieres Sunday, July 8 at 9/8c on HBO Ask anyone who grew up in a small town. Change rarely amounts to a lick of good. Family businesses make local royalty of the generations who run them. Know your place and mind your own business. Except when you don’t, because gossip does so soothe the grinding sameness. And strangers? Well, they’re best welcomed with a healthy dose of suspicion. Particularly if they’re native sons or daughters who turned their back on their roots, then came back unrecognizable. Or if you think they might be a killer. This is the […]
