SNL Pays Homage to Christmas Classics in An Evening With Pete Davidson

Saturday Night Livewas a bit strange last night out of an abundance of caution. Rather than hold the live show with an audience and full cast, they canceled the majority of it and did an abridged version of the show that included sketches previously recorded and Christmas sketches from years past. But that means we did get some new sketches like “An Evening with Pete Davidson.” In the sketch,Pete Davidsonis something of a lounge act in 2054 where he harkens back to his success onSaturday Night Liveand even brings up the fact that he was deemed “hot” but no one could understand why....

Suicide Squad Review: Rotten to the Core

Suicide Squadwill go down as one of the most promising and most infuriating films of the year, and possibly in the superhero genre. It’s a not a film you may easily dismiss because there’s plenty of potential at every turn. But by the same token, that potential is constantly trampled by atrocious editing, haphazard storytelling, and tonal inconsistency that make for a maddening experience. The film struggles with how to relate to its female characters, how to include the Joker (Jared Leto), how to bring the team together, and the soundness of their very existence....

The 2020 Emmy Awards Are Not the Worst Thing This Year — Review

Getting mad at an awards show is like getting mad at a cat. Admittedly, as a rule, awards shows are a lot less cute and fuzzy than cats, but an awards show is what it is, is going to do what it’s going to do, and no matter how much you yell at them, it’s unlikely you’ll ever see much change in their behavior. This remains true even during a pandemic,this year’s Emmy Awardsceremony reveals, which were unlike any ceremony in television history but still featured some awkward gags, some funny ones, some blatant product placement and cross-promotion, a few shining moments of surprise, andplenty of winsthat will undoubtedly frustrate many but please a select few....
