Photo by Vulture How will Don Draper die? Throughout the final episodes of Mad Men, which aired the second half of its final season this past spring, it was this question, and increasingly speculative answers to it, that dominated so much discussion of the show. As is so often the case…
By most measures Amy Schumer is an unlikely It Girl. She is crude and often vulgar. She does not look like or present herself as a vapid, bleached-blond wastrel. She speaks bluntly and frankly about the very system that regularly anoints It Girls, and what she has to say is sharply critical. And yet here…
HANNIBAL -- "...and the Beast from the Sea" Episode 311 -- Pictured: Hugh Dancy as Will Graham -- (Photo by: Ian Watson/NBC) As Hannibal has adapted Red Dragon proper, it has been as consistently great as we’ve come to expect from the series, but it has also been something new: conventional.…
Music has always been enchanted by the beautiful vocals of strong female artists from Tina Turner to Madonna and Pat Benatar to Aretha Franklin. Presently, we have a beautifully diverse and expansive array of female vocalists to enjoy, but I chose five incredibly talented women to talk about today. Of course we have the stunning…
It is no secret who this week's Femme Fatale is, or should I say fatales? The Pierces lay claim like kings to the title this Friday. Enough with my song related puns? Okay, I'll stop. You may recognize the sister duo as the voices behind "Secret," the creepily intoxicating theme song from Pretty Little Liars.…

Mostly, what’s here is further explication of Francis Dolarhyde, specifically and more generally, a further explication of…
By now, the project of what is essentially Bryan Fuller’s version of a Red Dragon miniseries is abundantly clear: Hannibal is portraying two parallel and intersecting stories about the lasting effects that a man like Hannibal Lecter and his various, horrible misdeeds can have on the world around him. That’s a thread that runs through…
As we all eagerly await the blissful fourth album from the sultry perfection that is Lana Del Rey, her second track from the album has been released today. If you did not already assume so, it was amazing. Teasing us with nautical photoshoots for the single, Lana has continued to build my excitement for Honeymoon.…
Southpaw is the Jake Gyllenhaal movie you did not know you needed. It is a fantastic motivational sports movie, filled with drama and suspense. In my opinion, Southpaw is the best boxing movie since Million Dollar Baby, which Clint Eastwood starred and directed. This movie will leave you on the edge of your seat and…
Every Friday we will be honoring the stunning Female musicians who have caught our eyes, ears, and hearts (we know that sounded corny, but roll with it). This week we're featuring Halsey! I first discovered Halsey at WTSR, the radio station I'm the manager of (open your mind and bang your f**king head!). The second…
