Mystery Science Theater 3000 Volume XXXVIII

Jamil Scalese
April 10, 2017
DVD/Blu-ray, Reviews
The buzz in the air, the energy in the ether. We're at the precipice, folks... New MST3K is on the way!!

Suicide Squad (2016): An Alternate Take

Jamil Scalese
August 6, 2016
Movies, Reviews
Suicide Squad blasts off the starting line by spinning through character introductions like a collector through longboxes.

12 Monkeys (1995)

Jamil Scalese, Paul Brian McCoy
August 2, 2016
Innocence and Experience, Movies, Reviews
12 Monkeys is one of those films that I can watch over and over, just reveling in the craftsmanship of the design and the intricacies of the plot.
4.0

Better Call Saul 2.09 “Nailed”

Jamil Scalese
April 18, 2016
Reviews, TV
"Nailed" is all about what happens after the hammer comes crashing down.
3.5

Better Call Saul 2.08 “Fifi”

Jamil Scalese
April 10, 2016
Reviews, TV
Right now Better Call Saul is something like Frankenstein's monster; a bunch of intriguing parts smashed together in funky ways waiting for a jolt to bring it to life.
4.0

Better Call Saul 2.07 “Inflatable”

Jamil Scalese
April 3, 2016
Reviews, TV
For a few episodes this series was more Better Lull Saul than anything else.
3.0

Better Call Saul 2.06 “Bali Ha’i”

Jamil Scalese
March 27, 2016
Reviews, TV
For much of Season Two, and the last few episodes in particular, the main character of Better Call Saul has seen his role marginalized to bit player status.
4.0

Better Call Saul 2.05 “Rebecca”

Jamil Scalese
March 20, 2016
Reviews, TV
Better Call Saul has done tons to elevate the entire cast (just as I had hoped) however the next five episodes must delve deeper into the Jimmy to Saul transition.
3.5

Better Call Saul 2.04 “Gloves Off”

Jamil Scalese
March 13, 2016
Reviews, TV
As the title indicates, this episode of Better Call Saul is all about beat downs.
4.0

Better Call Saul 2.03 “Amarillo”

Jamil Scalese
March 6, 2016
Reviews, TV
While Better Call Saul is good, real good, its main character has lacked the magnetic charm of W.W., which isn't a knock at all.
4.0

Better Call Saul 2.02 “Cobbler”

Jamil Scalese
February 28, 2016
Reviews, TV
That sentiment is right at the heart of the latest episode of Better Call Saul and the drumming of this theme adds to the crawling identity of this show about...well, identity.
3.5

Better Call Saul 2.01 “Switch”

Jamil Scalese
February 19, 2016
Reviews, TV
It fights conventionalism and deftly avoids definition. What the hell is Better Call Saul?
2.0

Heroes Reborn 1.13 “Project Reborn”

Jamil Scalese
February 2, 2016
Reviews, TV
Done! No, not Heroes Reborn. Me. I'm done. Finished. Full stop.
2.0

Heroes Reborn 1.12 “Company Woman”

Jamil Scalese
January 20, 2016
Reviews, TV
Heroes Reborn! Hell yeah! About to hit the series finale! Woooo! Powers and drama and time travel and the apocalypse. Let's do it!
2.5

Heroes Reborn 1.11 “Send in the Clones”

Jamil Scalese
January 13, 2016
Reviews, TV
After a healthy break Heroes Reborn comes back to close out the franchise's revival miniseries... and truthfully I'm having a hard time paying attention.

Heroes Reborn 1.10 “11:53 to Odessa”

Jamil Scalese
November 26, 2015
Reviews, TV
Connectivity and cohesiveness are pillars of the final Heroes Reborn episode of 2015.
2.5

Heroes Reborn 1.09 “Sundae, Bloody Sundae”

Jamil Scalese
November 18, 2015
Reviews, TV
Nonetheless, I do have to direct a nod to these big ideas because that element was absolutely lacking from nearly every Volume of Heroes.
3.5

Heroes Reborn 1.08 “June 13th, Part 2”

Jamil Scalese
November 11, 2015

The unbelievable has happened: Heroes Reborn has managed to string together two solid episodes.
