What happens when actor Michael Richards meets The Blacks or Krazee-Eyez Killa? Talk about Trial and Error. I’m pretty sure we’ll be satisfied by the results this fall, as the four cast members of Seinfeld are reuniting for multiple episodes of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm . While th...

I’m traveling this week but I got a heads up on a press release for our partnership with Time Warner. I haven’t had time to ask many questions, but I liked Liz Gannes’ post. At a broad level, we’ll be working with them on things like DRM and analytics, two very important aspe...

  We usually wait until we have a mid-week lull to watch Flight of the Conchords (On Demand, baby!) but we're going to watch it as soon as we're done writing this post just so we can see the "Garfunkeling" in better quality. Also, why is it that Jemaine is the only one ever ge...

“Prime Minister” March 1st, 2009 There are two stories in “Prime Minister,” and each of them is absolutely perfect for this surrealist world we’ve created. The show has leaned heavily this season on the humour to be found in New Zealand’s low level of cultural awa...

On the 2009 debut of his HBO show Real Time on Friday night, Bill Maher proposed his new solution for the economic crisis: legalize marijuana. In an interview with Rep. Ron Paul, he lectured: "When FDR came into office in '33, one of the first things he did was repeal Prohibition. He said we ca...

The Alexandra Pelosi (daughter of Nancy) documentary, "Right America: Feeling Wronged," premiered on HBO last night. One word perfectly describes it: "tedious." Over and over and over again, Pelosi tries to hammer home the point that conservatives are angry because they just don'...

You could tell Generation Kill was written by the guys who did the Wire because of the military specific jargon. Also, because I wanted to watch it all at once and when it was over, I wanted desperately to see more. Of course, being as hard boiled as they are, though, viewer discretion is advised. #...

Alexandra Pelosi—daughter of Fancy Nancy Pelosi, Democratic big shot—has a new documentary out today about why Republicans feel so hurt, by Obama. Point: it reportedly sucks. Counterpoint: but it shows funny Republican hicks! Downside: the Washington Post says Pelosi doesn't even try to ...
