Naked And Afraid: Cambodia Recap. Season 3, Episode 3

July 13, 2014 Kellie Freeze

When I imagine Naked and Afraid: Cambodia, I think mosquitoes, and rain, and snakes. So much fun. Do you think areas that Naked and Afraid visits ever tout the amount of misery that is shown in the show? I would never like to visit any of the places shown on N&A, it all looks so desolate and even the places that are lovely, are infested with plague-carrying bugs. I once got over 350 mosquito bites while visiting Minnesota and that ended my desire to visit nature … ever. Let’s meet this week’s people who are braver than me… Carrie Booze […]

FX’s “The Strain” offers unique take on the vampire genre

July 10, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

The catalyst for the beginning of the 13-part FX series The Strain is the arrival of a mysterious airplane, but co-executive producer Carlton Cuse, whose hit series Lost also involved a mystery about a plane, says that this was purely coincidental. “I wasn’t involved in the creation of that idea,” Cuse laughed during a recent interview, “but I think it’s a really good idea.” He’s right about that; the opening sequence of a plane somehow landing in New York City — with all of its passengers and crew seemingly dead — is a gripping, creepily atmospheric scenario, written and directed […]

July 10, 2014 StayTuned Staff

The Season 3 finale of Catfish ended with an episode unlike the others. The story begins with Bianca, who lives in North Carolina, and her 5-month relationship with Brogan through Facebook. Both ladies are into body modification and Bianca is head over heels for Brogan’s tattoo artwork and piercings. Bianca never thought of asking Brogan to video chat because she always thought of it as an awkward ordeal herself. However, once Bianca got over that mindset and asked Brogan to video chat with her, Brogan magically disappeared and deactivated her Facebook account. While Bianca tried her best at moving forward […]
