WWE Total Divas Season 5 Episode 4: Talk of the Town

February 10, 2016 Scott Fishman

Nikki Bella has always taken her role as WWE Diva’s champion seriously. She wants to inspire and empower other women. This week on Total Divas, she strives to expand her reach and explore other avenues to lead by example. It all started when Nikki and Brie participated in a Best Buddies International event chaired by Maria Shriver. Nikki watched in awe at the way Maria carried herself and spoke. The experience of meeting the respected figure gets her thinking about taking up speaking engagements. In the past Nikki has turned down these gigs for fear she wouldn’t do well in that type […]

New to On Demand: Spectre

February 9, 2016 Jeff Pfeiffer

Spectre, the 24th entry in the official James Bond feature film franchise that has spanned over 50 years and counting, closes its end credits with the line familiar to fans over many years: “James Bond Will Return.” Normally, this would leave us with a sense of excitement and anticipation over what Bond’s next film adventure would be, but as I read this just before leaving the theater, after watching the fairly rote film before it, I just had a sense of weariness and even wondered whether James Bond should return. The Bond films will go on, of course, if only […]

Jane the Virgin Chapter 33 recap: Sweater Kiss

February 8, 2016 StayTuned Staff

Remember that steamy dream Jane had about Professor Chavez in last week’s episode of Jane the Virgin? Let’s be real, how could anyone forget that?!

It’s a telenovela, Jane — go for it! Thanks to the amazing technology we have today — and the chip that Michael cut out of his leg — the police found out that Elena might be Rose’s stepmother. This show just keeps on getting […]

Recap: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Episode 11: That Text Was Not Meant for Josh!

February 8, 2016 StayTuned Staff

Recap – Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Episode 11: “That Text Was Not Meant for Josh!” – The CW, original airdate Mon. 2/8/16 (For all Crazy Ex recaps, click here.) What never fails to surprise me about Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is how crazy and off-the-wall Rebecca can be, yet through the writing and acting, we still root for her. In real life, if this woman were my friend, what happened tonight would have me seriously questioning our relationship, but (and perhaps it’s the suspended disbelief aspect of watching a musical sitcom that does this) I’m still on Team Rebecca here. In this episode, she […]

Joanne Whalley on Esquire Network’s “Beowulf”

February 6, 2016 Jeff Pfeiffer

Fantasy film lovers will certainly remember Joanne Whalley from her star-making turn in the 1988 Ron Howard-directed, George Lucas-produced Willow. Over 25 years later, Whalley is back in another historical fantasy type of project, this time a series based on the classic poem Beowulf. If you’re into Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings, it’s worth a look, as Whalley told me in a recent interview that, “we have it all. It’s quite an epic.” Part of what gives the series its epic look is its filming location. “It’s the northeast coast,” Whalley said, “so Northumberland. It’s so beautiful and so untouched. It’s wild.
