Survivor recap episode 4 (original airdate March 9, 2016): In Survivor’s 32 seasons we’ve never, ever seen so many players collapse at one time.

After the Brains beat out the other two tribes to […]

From nude pictures accidentally tweeted to the wrong people to bullying via hashtags and memes, social media can sometimes be a cruel and dangerous world. Syfy’s new half-hour series will chronicle some of the more extreme examples of this, from an innocent tweet that caused two traveling friends to be detained and suspected of terrorism, to a hashtag that unleashed death threats and a sniper outside a woman’s window, to a profile picture that got transformed into a hateful meme shared by hundreds of thousands. Each story will be told through first-person accounts, and is taken from the headlines. “With […]

Sharknado 4 casting announced

Syfy’s Sharknado original movie franchise has, for better or worse, become a summer tradition, especially for Twitter snarkers who like to take jabs at the increasingly outrageous scenarios and cameos in the films. Sharknado 4 (working title) is currently filming, and Syfy has announced initial casting for the followup. Ian Ziering and Tara Reid will return in their roles as Fin Shepard and April Wexler (apparently the film will reveal the outcome of the fan-voted #AprilLives or #AprilDies social campaign). David Hasselhoff, who first showed up in Sharknado 3, will also be back as Gil Shepard, and Ryan Newman will return as Claudia Shepard. New […]

The Mother/Daughter Experiment Episode 2

Recap – The Mother/Daughter Experiment: Celebrity Edition Episode 2 – “Headlines Don’t Lie …” (Lifetime, original airdate 3/8/16) Here are my three main takeaways from tonight’s episode of The Mother/Daughter Experiment: 1) Somehow Heidi and Natalie are BFFs now. I don’t know how/when/why, but whatever. 2) We might as well just call this show Other Celebrities Watch Courtney Sodden and Her Crazy Mom Be Crazy. 3) Krista has no idea what an actual medical emergency is. God help her if anything real ever happens. The episode picks up right after where Episode 1 left off: Courtney and Krista are in […]
