iZombie: “Pilot” works on developing the main character
Rob Thomas has been known to television fans for a number of shows over the years, from Veronica Mars toParty Down. His newest series, developed in conjunction with Diane Ruggiero-Wright, brings the iZombiecomics to the small screen in a show of the same name. The show is centred around a morgue assistant who is also a member of the undead, and whose diet of brains comes with the side effect of absorbing the individual’s memories… read the full article.
Broad City ends the season strong
This has been an extremely strong season of Broad City, and though this episode is a somewhat strange one to use as a finale, it ultimately feels like an inspired choice. We have no sense of closure with Ilana and Lincoln’s relationship, which was anticipated. No arc is particularly remarked upon or addressed. It...

It’s another marathon podcast this week, with lots of notable TV giving us plenty to discuss. We kick things off with the comedies, including a preview of Childrens Hospital’s premiere, season one of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and a memorable Man Seeking Woman. Next we dive in with genre and documentary, with a preview of iZombie’s pilot as well as finale talk for The 100 and Banshee, as well as the stunning conclusion of The Jinx: the Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. Afterward, we look at a handful of dramas, including this week’s eagerly anticipated Mike-centric Better Call Saul. Finally, Paul Goebel, the King of TV and cohost of Hey Watch This!, returns to the DVD Shelf to take a look at the influential and frequently fascinating Star Trek.

It’s the calm before the Breaking Bad storm this week on the podcast, with a surprisingly manageable list of TV shows. First we talk comedy, including the Make Kate Watch Stuff poll winner, Hulu’s Moone Boy, and the finale of Gravity Falls, then we look at a little reality, and we finish with the dramas, including the two part finale to The Killing as well as a preview of the Broadchurch pilot. Then The King of TV, Paul Goebel, returns to the DVD Shelf to help us discuss the short-lived police series Crime Story, starring the late, great Dennis Farina.

This week on the podcast, we skip the spotlight but go through a rather extensive week in TV as most series wind down, at least for the fall. We once again group the Tuesday (Ben and Kate, New Girl, The Mindy Project) and Thursday (30 Rock, Parks and Rec, It’s Always Sunny…, The League) comedies and we also take brief looks at Parenthood, the Key and Peele finale, Top Chef Seattle, Supernatural, Nashville, the season premiere of The Hour, The Vampire Diaries, Last Resort, The Amazing Race, Bob’s Burgers, The Good Wife, the Boardwalk Empire season finale, and Homeland. Then we welcome Tom Griffin from The Paul Goebel Show over to the DVD Shelf to help us break down the breakthrough ‘80s anime Robotech.

Traditionally, Sunday is the slowest day of ComicCon. Most of the major panels have already happened and many fans opt out of the festivities to head home and rest up a bit before the work week starts up on Monday. Others opt out of at least the morning portion for another reason- the Saturday night parties tend to go very late. Increasingly, though, Sunday is becoming the home for TV, with one panel after another in Hall H, while Ballroom 20 and several of the other rooms go unused, and those of us willing and able to get our butts out of bed nice and early were rewarded with some of the most anticipated TV panels of the Con. Including…
Fringe
After Fringe’s last second final season pickup, it was no surprise that this panel was, for the most part, a chance for the cast and showrunner to reminisce and say goodbye,...

Thursday started off quietly, TV-wise, but kicked into gear in the afternoon, with panels in several different rooms. Here’s a glimpse at some of what Day One had to offer-
Psych
Moderated by Tim Omundson, the Psych panel was the most cohesive and smoothly run of the day. It was a laid-back lovefest, with James Roday and Dulé Hill getting most of the questions and bursting into song at least three times. After a trailer for the upcoming season 7, including a look at the highly-anticipated Clue-themed 100th episode, Omundson introduced the cast and rattled off a series of questions to them, leading to such revelations as the fact that Roday and Maggie Lawson are instantly melted by cute dogs and Dulé Hill can sleep anywhere (with photographic evidence). After opening it up to audience Q&A, a few fans played a Psych trivia game for some swag, creator Steve Franks...

Heading into its 18th year in 2011, the Chicago Underground Film Festival is the longest-running underground film festival in the world. It used to be tied with the New York Underground Film Festival — both were started in 1994 — until Nyuff closed up shop in 2008.
In 1994, the Internet wasn’t the big promotional tool it is today so neither Nyuff nor Cuff that year had a website; or, if they did, those pages have since vanished off the web. So, details about what these fests screened in their first years have been sketchy. Well, until now for Cuff.
I’m not sure how I stumbled upon it, but I recently discovered that the alternative newsweekly the Chicago Reader had posted up the entire, full lineup of the first annual Chicago Underground Film Festival.
So, I copied that info and reformatted it into the style of Bad Lit’s traditional film festival lineups, which...

The great folks at Code Red DVD are at it once again digging up hard-to-find blasts from the past to give the digital treatment to. Two of the latest drive-in favorites getting the special edition treatment via Code Red are the el cheapo 1974 cult fave Horror High (Aka Twisted Brain) and the 1973 survival thriller Terminal Island.
First out of the gate on August 10th will be a brand new 16x9 (1.85:1) print of Horror High mastered from HiDef from the original 35mm dupe negatives from Crown International's vault. This marks the first time the film has ever been released uncut on home video.
A series of grisly murders wreaks havoc at a small Texas high school! A no-nonsense cop is assigned to find out the identity of the mad devious killer who roams the corridors of the high school. A mild mannered student has been drinking a mysterious potion that turns himself into Vernon,...
