Scandal, Ep. 3.17, “Flesh and Blood” preps for an explosive season finale

Scandal, Ep. 3.07, “Everything’s Coming Up Mellie”: ‘Scandal’ at its best, but at what cost?

How lighthearted this episode began–with Cyrus’s ridiculously perfect wig and facial hair, and Mellie’s adorable bob–only to take a sickeningly horrifying turn midway through.

Scandal may be three years into its run, but viewers are finally starting to catch on and it’s easy to see why.

There’s plenty more going on, but it’s this arc in particular that has elevated the season so far and it’s no surprise that this holds true again in “Say Hello to My Little Friend”.

‘The Details’ is an overstuffed, but never dull, suburban satire

The Details Directed by Jacob Aaron Estes Written by Jacob Aaron Estes USA, 2011 Tobey Maguire exists in a kind of netherworld as a performer. When he played Peter Parker in the original Spider-Man trilogy, he was often criticized for looking too old to play a high school senior or, later, a college freshman. (This, …
