This is the first in what promises to be a series of self-indulgent conversations celebrating this TVAMD milestone. Also, just to set the record straight, Sean does not think it's a good idea to enslave hot girls. It seemed like a funny thing to say, but out of context it sounds pretty terrible. |

Our position on this very serious issue may just shock you. |
Sun, 25 August 2013
In this installment of "Apocalypse Party" by Sean Gilbert, difficult questions are asked and answered and argued about, such as which section of a human centipede would you rather be? Here's a taste: “You are out of your mind!” I told Alicia. “It’s obvious that C would be better!” ENTER: STEFAN |

Those are a few of the things that could have been a part of a Superman movie before Superman Returns and Man of Steel hit the screens. |

Sun, 23 June 2013

Mon, 27 May 2013
Sean and Andrew reflect on the year in TV, comparing the plot and character development of the latest season of The Walking Dead to more successful shows like Game of Thrones and the short-lived Firefly. How did Firefly manage to show so much of the characters and story in such a short amount of time, when other shows never seem to understand where the story should be headed? And does it all trace back to the Greedo Effect? Did Lucas inadvertently create a generation of hack writers and hardcore heroes by stripping that one scene in Star Wars of its moral ambiguities? Plus, Andrew watches Downton Abey. Just sayin'... |

Wed, 17 April 2013

Also there is some comparison of George Lucas and Joss Whedon, since we're just chucking stuff into the conversation randomly. |
Sat, 23 February 2013
