So much stuff happened in this week’s Justified. Fortunately for the poor starved viewer, most of these stories overlapped considerably, which means Raylan and Boyd had scenes together and I can quit my bitchin’. Unfortunately for me, the poor writer who failed to take notes on Tuesday, it just complicates my job. Right, so, last…
Before I get into the meat of this thing, some backstory: You’re Next was made in 2011, then spent two years stuck in development hell.

These are the films that speak to Rooster Illusion on a deep, spiritual level, infusing his blood with stardust and driving him to reach new creative heights.…
Before you go ahead and criticize me for being “late on the draw” on this high school cult classic TV drama, it did actually re-air on IFC (aka hipster TV) back in 2010. So it makes me more hip to review it 4 years later, right? Freaks And Geeks originally aired from 1999-2000 on NBC. 18 episodes…
