I’m also currently watching Spooky in Love but the final episodes of that one haven’t been released yet. What all three of these shows have in common is that they blend different…

The show was cut short at 90 minutes after 14 songs because Jon had, as he later explained, “a sinus infection.” At the time, Jon told the audience, “Don’t throw…

  • by Michael McCarthy On May 20th, 2026, Netflix launched a new three-part docuseries about singer/actress Kylie Minogue, one of my favorite artists. I could try to pretend that I’m an unbiased journalist reviewing this, but I think my readers would see through that. I’ve previously disclosed that I’m a huge Kylie fan and I don’t…

  • by Michael McCarthy Seeing Lily Allen live at the Orpheum Theatre felt less like attending a traditional concert and more like stepping into a theatrical production. Performing her new album West End Girl in full, Allen delivered a visually rich, tightly staged show that prioritized mood and storytelling over the usual greatest-hits format. Before she…

  • by Michael McCarthy If you love old school metal ballads, you have to hear this new song called “The Picture” by Tyketto, one of the most under-rated bands of that era. Music has been making me cry a lot lately but it’s usually old songs that make me feel nostalgic. This is the first brand…

  • by Michael McCarthy I finished watching the excellent season 2 of The Believers on Netflix. Someone recently called it “Ozark with monks” and that’s not a bad way to describe it.

  • by Michael McCarthy OK, you all know how much I love Netflix, right? But I am kind of annoyed with them. When they licensed Heels and High Town from Starz, they had to have known that both of those shows last season’s end with huge cliffhangers that were never resolved because the shows were prematurely…

  • You know what irritates me as a music fan? There isn’t anywhere around here anymore where you can just go on the day an album is released and know that they will have it. Years ago, you could walk into almost any record store and they would have all of the new releases. They might…

  • I don’t know why Prime can’t make their subtitles work better. If you watch things with subtitles on Netflix, occasionally someone will say something and a subtitle for it won’t appear. It’s some sort of glitch — when this has happened when I’ve been watching things, if you rewind it and play the part it…

  • by Michael McCarthy I finished watching the Kdrama D Day this week. It’s from 2015, but the production values are right up there with the production values of all the great stuff coming out these days. It takes place in Seoul after a 6.5 magnitude earthquake does severe damage to the city. In the show…

  • by Michael McCarthy The Motley Crue concert I attended at Mohegan Sun Arena last night was better than that Twin Cities review said but definitely not great either. (Spoilers ahead ) No opening band. No merch for sale. No encore. And they only played 80 minutes, which includes a ten minute, boring guitar solo by…
