Powerless Season 1 Episode 9 Review – ‘Emergency Punch-Up’

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews the ninth episode of Powerless… To answer the question last week’s “Green Fury” proposed, about whether meanness passes for comedy these days, we have Van saying, in reference to a senior coworker, “Dorothy can ride in my chopper. I mean, she’s so old maybe I’ll just drop her off in heaven.” What’s […]

Powerless Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘Van v Emily: Dawn of Justice’

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews the seventh episode of Powerless… Like Superman appearing on Supergirl, could a series regular who’s a superhero usurp Powerless from the powerless? The show has been pretty consistent each week about leaving Crimson Fox and Jack O’Lantern in the background for guest appearances. Maybe Crimson Fox has spoken to Emily twice (plus saved her life from […]

WWE WrestleMania 33 Review

24: Legacy Season 1 Episode 10 Review – ‘9:00 PM – 10:00 PM’

by

Ricky Church reviews the tenth episode of 24: Legacy… Well, the comparisons to 24: Legacy and its predecessor grew even more with its latest episode. The cast once again gave a strong performance, but not even they could elevate ‘9:00 PM – 10:00 PM’ past its story problems. One of my constant criticisms of the […]
