THIS WEEK ON Eastbound & Down – Chapter 18
We are fully in uncharted territory on EB&D. Where it goes next, nobody knows…sorta. Following a doppleganger story arc from last year, we have another family affair this week as KP focuses on breaking out of his slump with an epic 4th of July blowout. Stevie goes back to being a putz, and we fully explore the deep dark cavities of humor that are completely unpresentable to most audiences.

DAVID CRONENBERG To Direct TV Series Pilot ‘KNIFEMAN’ With Sam Raimi Producing
I have been going goddamn insane for David Cronenberg lately. Like waking up from some sort of stasis with a rapturous desire to catch-up on It All, I’ve been crushing his backlog. So this news comes at a point where just the idea has a bit of the ole loins-writhing kicking into action.
THIS WEEK ON Eastbound & Down – Chapter 14
[Caff Note: Give a cordial welcome to new OL contributor Sneaky Pete.]
The magic behind HBO’s Eastbound & Down is the dark authentic grittiness in which an idealistic plot is laid out early on each season, and the sadistically twisted corruption of that ideal as the season unfolds. In some primordial way, it reminds us of the daily incertitude of our own insignificant existence. All this dark meat is surrounded by a sesame seed bun of high-brow intellectual wit and low-brow slapstickery, making its esoteric depth quite palatable to the masses.
THIS WEEK ON Justified: Thick as Mud
Justified kicks off this week with Limehouse coming back from his deal with Dickie. Turns out, Limehouse isn’t as honest as we though he was. He’s hiding a large amount of money from Dickie and tried to sneak one by him. From what I gather about this scene, it looks like there might be issues in Limehouse’s crew. It will be interesting to see how he deals with it.

THIS WEEK ON Justified: The Devil You Know
We rejoin Justified with Devil and a man named Tanner having a conversation about a meeting. Quickly its revealed that Quarles is the man Devil is here to meet. Quarles is working his way through the local thugs, so it was only a matter of time he got to Devil. Quarles offers Devil a fast track to the big time.
I’ll give Quarles his due. The man can talk. He sells Devil on the concept of killing Boyd faster than you can blink. Fathers in the greater Lexington area, watch your daughters, Quarles is in town and he’s about to charm the panties off them.
J.J. Abrams Bringing Apocalypse Drama To NBC. Time Travelling…Warheads?
J.J. Abrams keeps getting the go at television shows, despite the fact that his name carries very little street cred these days with fools of my generation. At least when it comes to his TV shows, featuring Spies-Dimension-Sprawling-Monster-Mysteries. This latest one? He’s teaming up with the creator of Supernatural to bang out an apocalypse drama.
Rumor: ‘Star Wars’ TV Show To Feature Time Travel? Abrams and Lindelof Slow Clap.
Let me be upfront about this: I don’t believe this rumor. Why am I talking about it? Page hits, idiot! (Well yeah, that, but it’s Star Wars and I’m a sucker for it, despite my bile.) Want to hear the probably untrue rumor regarding time travel and The Force Gone Television?

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 2 Gets A Premiere Date! High-Five And Kiss Your Sister!
Yeah man! The night is dark and full of horrors and shit. However, the Spring is going to be moderately more balmy and full of episodes from season 2 of Game of Thrones. HBO has officially announced a premiere date for the son of a bitch! Everyone drink.
AMC Making ‘GoodFellas’ TV Series. Yet, Rubicon Died.
Invariably, everything that AMC does from here on out that pisses me off is going to be contrasted with their decision to let Rubicon die. Walking Dead sucks!, Rubicon died. The Killing sucks!, Rubicon died. They’re making a fucking GoodFellas TV show!…Rubicon died.
