February 12, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

In one of the funniest and most popular (over 65 million views, at last check) viral YouTube videos of recent years, a guy named Randall did a mock nature documentary voiceover accompanying footage of Africa’s honey badger in action, constantly expressing sassy incredulity over just how fearless this little creature is as it proceeds to take on everything from bees to deadly snakes. “Honey badger don’t care” quickly became an enduring Internet meme arising from this video. A more scientific nature documentary outfit — PBS’ Nature series — will now explore the world of the honey badger in a new […]

Dance Moms recap Season 4 episode 7: Bite Me

February 11, 2014 Lori Acken

Couple things right out of the gate, Dance Moms nation. Today’s recap will be screen-capture-free, because the events of its last twenty minutes are currently a matter of litigation in the New York City courts, so no press screeners were made available. So much the better if you ask me. There’s not much that happened this evening that I’d care to commemorate in pictures or in words. In light of the weekend’s news of Maryen Lorrain Miller’s death, I was really hoping we might have something, anything I could write positively about — even though I knew better from the […]

VOD Spotlight: The Best Man Holiday

February 11, 2014 Meredith Ennis

One of the scenes in The Best Man Holiday that’s sure to be talked about (and enjoyed) is when the male cast members entertain their female counterparts with a performance of New Edition’s “Can You Stand the Rain.” Director Malcolm D. Lee sets up the scene, which has its roots in his own lip-synching days at Georgetown. “After dinner, Mia (played by Monica Calhoun), tells the guys that they are not going to have dessert until they do ‘air band.’ This catches them by surprise. She has the jackets, hats and outfits they had circa 1991, and they’re going to […]

Woodroof, a proud Texan, was diagnosed with HIV in 1985, as […]
