Television
Burton and Taylor
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Cafe Texan
- Excerpt: Burton and Taylor has a story that does not mock, ridicule, or humiliate the characters or turn them into parodies. Instead, we get two individuals who both love and loath themselves and each other, who truly can’t live with and can’t live without the other.
The Day of the Doctor
- Excerpt: Can The Day of the Doctor be a 50th Anniversary Special when so much focus is given to only the last eight years and only passing nods to the first forty?
Franklin & Bash: Control
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Cafe Texan
- Excerpt: It was…typical Franklin & Bash fare: light story, dim guys, a case that I solved a good twenty minutes before our two leading himbos did, but with a remarkably ugly ending that belies the idea that Franklin & Bash is a breezy affair.
Franklin & Bash: Freck
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Cafe Texan
- Excerpt: Freck is lazy, predictable, and in many ways, appalling.
Franklin & Bash: Gone in a Flash
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Cafe Texan
- Excerpt: Despite itself, Gone in a Flash does what Franklin & Bash has not done in a long time: be fun and frothy without being idiotic.
Franklin & Bash: Out of the Blue
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Cafe Texan
- Excerpt: Out of the Blue pushes me to dislike the leads, to witness how irresponsible they are, how dismissive they are to the miseries of others, how narcissistic and self-absorbed they are.
Franklin & Bash: Season Three Overview
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Cafe Texan
- Excerpt: How was it that Franklin & Bash, a show that I loved the First Season, turn into a show I despise by Season Three to where I wonder whether it is worth my time watching anymore?
Franklin & Bash: Shoot to Thrill
Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Cafe Texan
- Excerpt: I remember thinking that I enjoyed Shoot to Thrill, but in retrospect I cannot recall why.
