Jim Henson's cult 1980s TV show in poker playing form

If you grew up in the 80s then chances are you watched more than your fair share of Fraggle Rock, Jim Henson’s cult favorite TV show about a group of mythical Muppet-like creatures (which was also produced by HBO). The Spare Room obviously remembers too. Located inside Hollywood’s beloved (and haunted) Roosevelt Hotel, the cocktail [...]


I’ve personally been a fan of VICE for over a decade, and have marveled at its transformation. From a hilarious but juvenile free rag that you picked up at the skate shop which concentrated on such pressing social issues as “Which race could stand more heat”, and “Who gave better blowjobs — men or women”, [...]

Louis heads back to TV on April 13, 2013

Interesting that Louis C.K.’s next comedy special will be on HBO, as the last show he did, Live at the Beacon Theater, he produced himself and sold it directly via his own website for $5, which he claims was a way greater financial success.

George R. R. Martin's HBO series returns April 1st, 2012

Oh boy, can’t say we’re not salivating for the epic Game Of Thrones to return — one of the pillars of our Holy Television Triumverate along with Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire. Sure there are some other pretty great shows on, but those three really stand head and shoulders above all else on the LCD/LED/plasma [...]

In their latest award winning doc, Superheroes, director Michael Barnett explores the world of real-life caped crusaders on a mission to [...]

What happens when you free the biggest fanboy oeuvre of all time

Last year former Vimeo developer named Casey Pugh announced his project Star Wars Uncut. The idea was simple, but oh-so-grand in execution: break up Star Wars — the biggest and most untouchable fanboy epic of all time — into 15 second partitions and let sci-fi nerds from across the globe claim these chunks of immortal [...]

Another day, another high-end designer slumming with his sneaker line

Another day, another high end designer slumming with his sneaker line (not really, we love this stuff). This time it’s John Varvatos streetwalking with Converse for their CT All Star Specialty OX Woven. Did you see Varvatos on the last episode of HBO’s How To Make It In America? So far I’m not too sure [...]
