Karl Urban, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Chase Crawford, Claudia Doumit, Eric Kripke Interview: The Boys
The Boys are back for season 3 and more extreme than ever (which is hard to do considering the society they’re mirroring is even more unhinged than one would think possible). We chatted quickly with Karl Urban, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Chase Crawford, Claudia Doumit, and head writer Eric Kripke. Listen on Apple Podcasts This…

Performative Diversity in The Bachelor is Detrimental
The Bachelor and The Bachelorette‘s continued performative diversity is causing issues beyond just “bad ratings” – it’s detrimental to representation. We’ve taken a break from covering both franchises for a bit but we’re wading back in to address the latest “news” to rock Bachelor Nation. Former Bachelor, Colton Underwood, has just come out as gay.…

Here I Go Again (On My Own) – The Bachelorette Premiere
So begins our coverage of The Bachelorette this season with the premiere. Much like the rest of the world, Bachelor Nation has not been spared from the ravaging pandemic that is COVID-19. That seems not to have stopped perennial host Chris Harrison from getting a mediocre dye job during quarantine. Nor can it stop the…

Emmys 2020 Reactions
If you’ve been in a Zoom All Hands – multiply that by a bunch of very rich and good looking people who are probably even less tech savvy, that was the 2020 Emmys experience.

FANTASY ISLAND – THE BACHELOR
I still don’t understand the appeal or why these women are fighting for this living piece of tofu. (ABC/Francisco Roman) What happens when you make a bunch of already wound up women dating the same guy cohabitate while they all sleep with (or don’t sleep with) him? Not a lot, as it turns out. Also…

HOMEWARD BOUND – THE BACHELOR
Nothing says conservative/family values like this lady, eh? (ABC/Eric McCandless) We finally head to hometowns where everything was more or less predetermined, but at least we got some juicy drama at the end. Spoilers ahead. Nothing Says Conservatively Religious Like Making Out in Public Look Hannah Ann, we’ve already had one religious leaning Hannah in…

MAKING LOVE OUT OF NOTHING AT ALL – THE BACHELOR
Poor Natasha never had a chance. (ABC/Francisco Roman) As per usual we are subject to another filler episode of “The Bachelor”, where nothing really happens, but it got us to where we needed to be. Spoilers ahead. We continued to tour around South America with Peter speaking what I can only assume is choppy Spanish…

CATFIGHTS AND CATERWAULING – THE BACHELOR
Demi Burnett returns to help perpetuate male fantasy stereotypes on The Bachelor (ABC/John Fleenor) We’ve hit the beginning of the middling point in the season where the fights get repetitive and the relationships progress at a glacial pace. Let’s take a look at the few and far between highlights of episode 3 of this season…
