Extended Potpourri 2

The Obsessive Viewer Podcast – Ep 41 – Extended Potpourri – Oscar Results, True Detective, HIMYM and E.T.

Here’s the latest episode of The Obsessive Viewer Podcast. We decided to do an extended potpourri episode since we haven’t done a proper potpourri in what seems like a while. We recorded for 2 hours but I got it edited down to an hour and a half. Don’t worry, though, I’ve saved all the stuff for a later podcast so you’ll hear […]

TV Review: House of Cards – Season 2, Episode 1 – “Chapter 14”

Last year, in celebration of Netflix’s high-profile jump into original programming, I wrote a review of the first season of House of Cards. I loved it. It quickly became one of my favorite shows on television; a statement I find humorous considering it isn’t on conventional television. As such, I have been very eagerly awaiting the February 14th premiere of […]

Here’s the latest episode of The Obsessive Viewer Podcast! I’m fighting either the flu of food poisoning to get this to you guys.

The Month in Movies: January 2014

Total Viewings: 19 First Viewings: 12 Theater Viewings: 3 So January in 2014 wasn’t nearly as productive as last year in terms of movies watched. To be fair, however, last January was one of the best months I’ve ever had for movie watching; surpassing many a Shocktober, even. I’m proud of my numbers this month, though. I had a respectable […]

The movie is based on the book of the same name, which was written by the mission’s only survivor, Marcus Luttrell. I went into this movie […]
