Editorial: Mr. White and Detective Mackey: Two Anti-Heroes, Two Finales
Now that Breaking Bad has ended and the dust has settled on the wave of articles, criticisms and adulation toward it, I feel compelled to write some thoughts. And it’s just in time for tomorrow’s final season and complete series blu-ray releases. If you heard The Obsessive Viewer Podcast’s analysis of the finale, you would know that I had some […]
The Obsessive Viewer Podcast – Ep 27 – Fall 2013 TV Season with Chris Spangle of We Are Libertarians
Here’s the latest ep of The Obsessive Viewer Podcast! As promised, our friend (and unofficial technical consultant) Chris Spangle from We Are Libertarians joined us to discuss the Fall TV season.

Editorial: How I Met Your Spinoff – Why I’m Looking Forward to HIMYD
CBS recently gave a pilot order for a HIMYM spinoff titled How I Met Your Dad. Being a huge fan of HIMYM and being generally against the idea of spinoffs, I was surprised how much I like the idea of this spinoff. Watch me defend myself below. Follow me around the Internet.

The Fortnight in TV: 10/27-11/10, 2013
I’ve been really lagging behind on these TV updates, not to mention the blog as a whole. I apologize for that. I’m hopeful that things will get back to normal soon. And I hope that I’ll get back into the swing of my TV watching habits. I mean, look at this, I watched 11 episodes of television in a two-week […]
The Obsessive Viewer Podcast – Ep 25 – Space Movies Part I – Gravity, Armageddon and The Right Stuff
This week was huge for The Obsessive Viewer Podcast. For starters, I edited this week’s episode in a new program that is going to be far less problematic than Garageband and, as I type this, I’m expecting some sweet new podcasting equipment to be delivered. But most exciting is the fact that we signed up for IndyPopCon. We’ll have more […]

The Month in Movies: Shocktober 2013
My friends and I have been dedicating the month of October to the horror genre and calling it Shocktober for several years now. I started this blog in February and from the start I was excited about sharing my Shocktober experience with anyone and everyone. I have been saying for a while that this year has to make up for […]
Remake Review: A Nightmare on Elm Street
Adaptations & Remakes is an ongoing feature where I take a movie or a book and compare it to its remake and/or adaptation. Happy Halloween, everyone! If you’ve been checking on the blog throughout the day, you’ll know that earlier in the day, Tiny applied his newfound appreciation for the Halloween franchise to compare Carpenter’s vision with Zombie’s depiction. Then […]

4 Days of Blood: Part IV – Ghoulish Netflix Instant Recommendations
Seeing as Halloween is now upon us and I’ve committed myself to writing four “Days of Blood” posts, I figured I would devote the fourth and final post to some of the better (and more recent) horror and horror-adjacent titles available to stream on Netflix. Hopefully it will make up for the way I’ve been neglecting my Streaming Saturday recommendations […]
The Obsessive Viewer Podcast – Ep 24 – The Shocktober 2013 Wrap-Up Episode
