Ah Summer. The time when the weather gets hot, the tv gets slightly trashy, and everyone is generally happier. I, for one, have always enjoyed summer tv shows because it’s one of the few times during the year when creators seem to understand what their shows are about and don’t try and do too much. In the past few years summer has really turned into a breeding ground for tv shows to flourish and so today I thought I’d take a look at the summer shows I’m most anticipating.
So I take it by now you’ve all had a chance to watch the clip that Teen Wolf released via Hulu? If not you can watch it on Tumblr here. In the clip Stiles and Lydia have some fun banter before all hell breaks loose as a flock of birds breaks through the window of new teacher Ms. Blake’s classroom and attack everyone. It’s an incredible scene and the graphics are spot on (I see those tax credits are being put to some use) and there are so many layers to it, put there’s one thing in particular that caught my eye.
One of the best things about the advent of this here internet is that it opens the airwaves for dialog and opinions of people you would never have heard of without it. It’s how I ended up writing for Awards Circuit and also how I discovered the Operation Kino podcast. For those of you un familiar with OpKino, it’s a podcast that features four film writers, Da7E from Latino-Review, David Ehrlich from Film.com, Katey Rich from Cinema Blend, and Matt Patches of Hollywood.com. On a recent Tuesday episode, they spoke about scarcity in art and it’s merits. It was a fascinating discussion, a topic I’ve often thought about and it seemed like an interesting place to start a discussion.
In the wise words of Kanye West, no one man should have all this power. Thanks to the fact that I write for wonderful sites like Awards Circuit, Sound on Sight and Have U Heard, I was able to request and view the first two episodes of Teen Wolf Season 3. But what is a guy to do when he has all these feels? Why share them with you all! Over the coming week I will be sharing with you exclusive teases and my review but until then, I thought I’d give you a quick glimpse at the synopsis and also answer some fan theories. Check it out!
Summer is almost upon us which means that all of the fall and spring shows have ended or are ending soon and a new crop of shows is ready to take it’s place (like Teen Wolf and True Blood). Looking back on the season, not much really stood out in terms of appointment TV. Many returning shows like Revenge tried to expand too widely while new shows like The Mindy Project were very uneven. This all led to a Fall/Spring season that while enjoyable, was rarely the remarkable thing we expect from TV these days. But luckily there were some shows that managed to stay above the fray. Peep my top 10 from the Fall/Spring season!
Beyonce has been everywhere the past few weeks from those fake rumors about her pregnancy to her lead single Grown Woman leaking. Now she’s indulging her more ratchet side by joining with hit-maker The Dream and couthless rapper 2Chainz on ‘Turnt’. When I heard the snippet for this song two weeks ago, I instantly started body rolling and I am happy to report that the rest of the song lives up its potential. The single comes from The Dream’s new album IV play which is set to drop soon. Check it out after the jump!
