    Sure, I don’t really watch TV shows in real time anymore, but with all the buzz surrounding it, I was curious to check out the first episode of American Gods. I’ve never read the Neil Gaiman book its based on, so don’t know much about the story other than the descriptions I’ve read, which is…

    When Double Fine Productions did its previous Amnesia Fortnight in 2014, and documented it through a web series, it was one of my favorite “TV” shows of that year. They’re at it again, and although the game jam itself ended a few days ago, all the episodes of the documentary series aren’t out yet (they’ve…

    I loved this series about game culture so much, I binged all 9 episodes — which you can watch here (although I recommend downloading the Red Bull TV app on Apple TV and watching them that way, which is what I did) — in one night. Each episode explores a different aspect of today’s gaming…

    This past Sunday’s cartoon session kicked off yet again with another fantastic Samurai Jack episode — I really don’t know what I’m going to do when the season is over (and there are only 3 episodes left). After watching another episode of the Tangled series, I capped off the first season of Mickey Mouse shorts…

    After binging season 2 recently (and loving it to bits), I just couldn’t help but check in on season 3 (even though these days I prefer to wait for a series to be done its season before watching it). The first episode was pretty good, but oh man, episode 2, with the return of Los…

    I saw this stand-up special pop up on Netflix, and since I’ve found these two to be pretty funny in the past — mostly in cameos — I decided to watch it, and really liked it. It doesn’t have huge laughs, but I found myself constantly giggling throughout — I mostly like their laidback vibe,…

    I absolutely loved this series, and couldn’t wait for the second part of its first season to come out. Well, it’s out, it’s short (only 5 episodes), and now that I’m on the 3rd episode I can’t help but feel slightly disappointed. I’m still enjoying the performances immensely, but the story is falling flat for…

    The best thing about this morning’s cartoon cavalcade was the happy return of Samurai Jack — it had been preempted last week because of the Rick & Morty special. An interesting episode, with the — well, sorta expected — turn of one of the daughters of Aku. I followed that up with three Mickey Mouse…

    I was suddenly in the mood to check out Powerless, a sitcom set in the DC Comics universe that debuted earlier this year. I liked it so much, I ended up binging all 6 episodes that have aired so far. The cast is terrific — and I really quite like Vanessa Hudgens’s super genki character…

    Well, it didn’t take long for my plans to watch cartoons on Saturday mornings to switch over to Sunday mornings, and that’s because the new season of Samurai Jack airs on Saturday nights, and so it’s what I want to watch first thing on Sunday. This past Sunday I again kicked things off with Samurai…
