Face Off Season 9 episode 13 recap: Movie Magic Part 1

October 21, 2015 Ruth Boulet

Face Off Season 9 episode 13 begins with the usual reality show “blah, blah, blah I’m stressed out & miss my family so here – talk to them on FaceTime so we can see who is bolstered by this & who cries.” Face Off is one of the nicest reality shows on TV, so the whole “humanize the contestants” seems really unnecessary. These people already seem nice, so I really don’t need to see them getting emotional with their loved ones to let me know that. But then again, I never like the “family moment” portion of reality TV even […]

🔪Read all of the Scream Queens ScreamCaps here, yo!😈 In the Oct. 20 episode of Scream Queens “Seven Minutes in Hell,” we get … Damn, how can an episode that killed off so many people be so boring? Look, this show isn’t exactly killing it in the ratings, and this week I saw the C-word attached to it for the first time. “Seven Minutes in Hell” isn’t going to turn that around. There’s no new episode on Oct. 28 because of the World Series (FX is going to show an SQ marathon on Halloween night Oct. 31 beginning at 6pm […]

The Bastard Executioner recap episode 7: Behold the Lamb (… or what I did for Love)

October 20, 2015 Lori Acken

Everyone remember where we left off last week, The Bastard Executioner fans? The Wolf made himself known — as Lady Love’s equally introspective and peace-minded half-brother. Annora revealed herself to Father Wilkin as much more than just a peddler of potions, but a predictor of fates. Milus revealed that he’s pretty much going to set Wilkin up for some unplanned killing every single episode. And Jessamy reveals, well, nothing new. She’s been a nutter from the start. • The Bastard Executioner Season 1 recaps: Episode 1 and 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4 | Episode 5 |Episode 6 | Episode 7 | Episode 8 | Episode […]

Recap: Monica the Medium, Episode 9 “Finals Week”

October 20, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Sometimes I get so caught up and blown away by the lives that Monica touches, that I forget she’s a college student. It’s hard enough to attend classes and study and have a social life without a constant distraction like Spirit. This week Monica is elbow-deep in finals and is cramming for her last — and toughest — final. Dreaded Psychology. Oh Monica, your life would be much easier if you could get messages from Freud. Mitch is back in the picture; he’s contacted Monica for a date! Phew, because I was getting worried about the future of Mitchica. Monica […]

October 20, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

If you’re a fan of Destination America series like Mountain Monsters (which will return with new episodes in 2016) or Ghost Asylum, and have some disposable income at the ready, now you can buy clothing and other show-related gear via the network’s new e-commerce shop at DestinationAmericaStore.com. Branded merchandise for Ghost Asylum features some of the gear used and worn on the show.

October 20, 2015 Ryan Berenz

You might laugh at all the dust-collecting ThighMasters, Tae Bo VHS tapes and Shake Weights, but their creators laughed all the way to the bank. Health and wellness expert Jillian Michaels (The Biggest Loser) hosts and judges Spike’s new competition series Sweat Inc. (premiering Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 10pm ET/PT), which aims to find the creator of America’s next big exercise craze. “Fitness is a multibillion dollar industry, and we are looking for the next fitness phenomenon,” Michaels says. Over the series’ 10 episodes, 27 fitness entrepreneurs try to prove they’ve developed the latest groundbreaking physical conditioning program. “It’s […]

VOD Spotlight: Jurassic World

October 20, 2015 StayTuned Staff

The majestic landscapes seen in Jurassic Park have become familiar to moviegoers — the iconic images of massive creatures again roaming the Earth set the bar high for the production team behind Jurassic World. For the team, returning to “Isla Nublar” meant returning to Hawaii, where the green environment and majestic mountaintops substituted for Costa Rica. The crew discovered that the majority of the original locations were relatively untouched, affording the ability to step back into that visual world seamlessly, without extensive CGI to replicate settings. For producer Frank Marshall, returning to Hawaii decades later felt like stepping back in […]

Recap: Dancing With the Stars “Famous Dances Night” Season 21, Episode 6

October 19, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Tonight, the nine remaining celebrities and their professional partners reinvented famous dance in hopes of winning America’s favor and moving on in the competition. I can’t recall a previous Dancing With the Stars “Famous Dances Night” so I’m looking forward to see how the pros will take dances that we love and turn them into something that we’ll love even more. Special guest Olivia Newton-John joins Julianne Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli at the judges’ desk to see how the couples re-envisioned iconic dance routines from movies and music videos. And while DWTS co-host Erin Andrews covered postseason baseball on FOX, […]

Recap: Blindspot Season 1, Episode 5 – Both Sides of the Law

October 19, 2015 Rachel Cericola

So is Jane Doe (Jaimie Alexander, Kyle XY) really Taylor Shaw or what? Five episodes in, I don’t think we have a more clear answer. While science seems to be contradicting a bit, a new set of flashbacks could be steering us in one direction. Plus, Weller (Sullivan Stapleton, Strike Back) seems so sure — and really, is that guy ever wrong? Episode 5, “Split The Law,” kicks off with a guy hailing a cab. That seems pretty normal, but he wants to go the Empire State Building in the middle of the night. That’s not the bizarre thing, though. […]
