Krysten Ritter

Posted on November 30, 2017 by Steve

Currently Krysten is best known as Jessica Jones on Netflix (a show I need to restart) but for me she was Jesse’s ill-fated girlfriend Jane on Breaking Bad plus I remember her in Big Eyes. Krysten was stopping through Austin to promote … Continue reading →

Big Mouth

Posted on October 15, 2017 by Steve

Nick Kroll has finally done something funny! I’ve seen his stand-up, feh. His characters are mediocre. The movies he’s co-starred, I haven’t read any rave reviews. Big Mouth seems to work better as a vehicle for what he likes to do … Continue reading →

RIP Martin Laundu

Posted on July 17, 2017 by Steve

Martin gets a nod in the annals of Science Fiction primarily for Space: 1999 a show which could use a reboot/remake since it does have an interesting premise. Maybe he did it after seeing the popularity Leonard Nimoy got for Spock, … Continue reading →
