Jane the Virgin Chapter 10 Recap: The Search for Sin Rostro

January 19, 2015 StayTuned Staff

The CW’s Golden Globe-nominated dramedy Jane the Virgin returned last night with an emotionally charged episode. Right from the beginning, I was in tears seeing a helpless Alba (Ivonne Coll) in the hospital as Xo (Andrea Navedo) and Jane (Golden Globe winner Gina Rodriguez) surrounded her. This reminded me of seeing my own abuela before she passed away in the hospital and brought back some tough memories. Jane knew how important it was for Alba to use her rosary when praying, so she heads back to the hotel to search for the rosary in hopes of earning a miracle. The only problem is that […]

January 19, 2015 Karen Ruud

While the season opener was a little lackluster to what some fans were anticipating, I think it was just the start of a buildup of things to come. Now that we have seen Frank get all schnockered on his contribution to mankind, “Milk of the Gods” beer, what can possibly happen next? Well, it’s Fathers Day, things can get nutty! Of course there is your usual Shelia moaning about Sammi, but other craziness endures… Frank & Shelia: The two lesbians canvassing the area are buying up houses and offer Shelia double her house’s value. Shelia is beyond ecstatic about the […]

January 18, 2015 Ryan Berenz

At the FX Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour for It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Charlie Day and I had an in-depth interview about subjects of the utmost importance. 1. Were you aware that canned wine is now apparently a thing? Charlie Day: [Laughs] Really!? When I was in high school, there was this kid, and I bumped into him and he was one of the cool kids. And I didn’t smoke, but he was a smoker, and I noticed he was hiding a cigarette in his Coca-Cola can so he could walk around the school and smoke a cigarette. […]

January 16, 2015 Kellie Freeze

At the conclusion of the hilarious Television Critics Association winter press tour panel celebration the finale season of Parks and Recreation, I grabbed Aziz Ansari and asked him if he’d ganked anything from the P&R set at the series’ conclusion. Surprisingly, the comedian hadn’t. “I always meant to,” he confessed. “But I forgot.” When I asked him what he wished he’d taken, Ansari said that Tom had an Entertainment 720 Rubik’s cube that he really liked. The prop had the faces of the Entertainment 720 peeps on it. Ansari thought for a moment and then said that maybe he should contact someone […]
