There’s no better way to celebrate the NFL Draft’s imminence than an NHL playoff article! It seems weird that the NHL season should go well into the spring (and almost into the summer). When you think puck you think sub-zero temperatures, pick-up pond games and maybe even a little Gordon Bombay. I’m going to try […]
Trailers In The Bagg – April 25th
Lawless The latest from director John Hillcoat (The Proposition, The Road) is set to compete for the Palme d’Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. Lawless is based on the historical novel, The Wettest County by Matt Bondurant, which follows the story of Bondurant’s grandfather and his brothers running a bootlegging business in Virginia during Prohibition and the complications that […]
Gods be Praised, Battlestar Galactica Season 3
I was going to try and do this with as few spoilers as possible, I’ll still try to, but there will be spoilers. I wrapped up seasons 3 last night and BSG is running as great as ever. In fact, the last third of the season may have been the best stretch of the show […]
Boob Tube in Review: 4/16–4/22
Monday Trying to find something I’d like to watch here. Nothing tickles my fancy. Any recommendations? Tuesday New Girl – I like Cece a lot, and its not just because shes smoking hot. And Schmidt is amazing. They are amazing. “We could have a russian nesting doll situation”. “She doesn’t even know what Netscape is.” […]
The Baggpod 4/24/2012 – Great Moments In Hookup History
The posse is reunited as JimmyTV and JoeDog pod where it all began and Alain joins us from Knoxville’s wondrous Sunsphere, most likely to check out the Wod Fir. The boys do the typical GoT jazz (Joffrey has some…interesting perversions) and discuss the craziness of a drug-influenced Mad Men. There’s no reason to start this […]
‘Veep’ Series Premiere Review
HBO’s newest pseudo-comedy, Veep, premiered on HBO last night and left a little to be desired. The show revolves around Selina Meyer, the candid, foul-mouthed, fictional Vice President of the United States played with ease by the uber-talented, uber-loveable Julia Louis-Dreyfes. Unfortunately, the pilot’s strength revolved solely around the prized asset that is JLD, as […]
Meeting the Criterion (Collection): #594 Godzilla, Part 2
Godzilla: King of the Monsters! (1956), directed by Terry Morse, Spine #594 of the Criterion Collection. Generally I avoid comparing and contrasting films in my reviews since a film should be able to stand on its own. Yet I’m compelled to point out the differences between the 1954 Japanese original Godzilla and the 1956 American […]
Trailers In The Bagg – April 18th: Overloaded!
Today I’m going to try something a bit different. Over the past few weeks I’ve missed some trailers, haven’t had time to post others, or was forced to skip those that debuted on an inconvenient day. This just will not do. There are too many and we must watch them all! How else are we […]
