RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 1 Episode 2 Recap: The Lost Season is Found

October 8, 2013 Ruth Boulet

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 1 Episode 2 opens with Ru telling us in his pop-up that this episode marks the first group challenge in Drag Race herstory. “Long ago, when the lighting was hard, and the focus was always soft…” – RuPaul I love it when RuPaul throws shade at herself. Is there a term for that? Self shade? Boomerang shade? Shady boomerang? Someone get on that & make it snappy. One thing I didn’t notice in last week’s episode is the TV Ru uses to tease the episode’s challenge. It’s like the AV club cart from high school. Only […]

VOD Spotlight: The Purge

October 8, 2013 Meredith Ennis

The Purge is set nine years in the future, in a world where crime is completely legal for a single 12-hour period each year. In the film, on the designated night, a family is held hostage for harboring a fugitive being hunted by a murderous syndicate. Writer/director James DeMonaco came up with the idea for The Purge after a road rage incident that happened while out with his wife. On that occasion, the couple was nearly killed by a reckless driver. DeMonaco recalls, “In a fit of terrible road rage I had gotten out of the car to argue with […]

Homeland Season 3 recap: Episode 2 – “Uh … Oo … Aw …”

October 7, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

There was still no sign of Brody (Damian Lewis) in last night’s second episode of Showtime’s Homeland Season 3, but there was no shortage of drama, some of it from Brody’s family who, along with so many others, are still dealing with the events of the explosion at Langley. In fact, last night’s episode — while featuring good doses of Saul (Mandy Patinkin) and Peter (Rupert Friend) — proved to be carried in large part by the female characters of the show. Not only by Dana (Morgan Saylor) and Jessica (Morena Baccarin) Brody, but also by, or course, Carrie Mathsion (Caire Danes) […]

October 7, 2013 StayTuned Staff

When celebrities talk, will troubled students listen? That’s the intriguing question behind Sundance Channel’s inspirational new series Dream School, where 15 teens ages 17-18 who have either been expelled or dropped out of school get another shot at scholastics. Their teachers will be luminaries in their respective fields, and a few are fixtures in TV and movies. Actor David Arquette is the homeroom leader and drama teacher, and will appear in all six episodes. Other famous faces include director Oliver Stone, journalist Soledad O’Brien, finance guru Suze Orman, conservationist Jeff Corwin and musician Swizz Beatz. In addition, there’s Dr. Mae […]

The Walking Dead Season 4: Date, time, TV channel, preview and more!

October 7, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Ask Andrew Lincoln what four seasons of The Walking Dead can do to a man and he points to his beard. “Can you see my gray hair?” he laughs, stroking the salt-and-pepper patches that have taken residence on his once-boyish face. The British actor now wears every one of his 40 years, and it’s no wonder, given the incredible physical and emotional demands of playing Rick Grimes, the de facto leader of a group of ragged survivors in AMC’s gruesomely successful horror show. It helps then to have familiar faces to go through all that with, but this being a […]
