Jeff and Darren look ahead at the geekiest movies of the fall and rate their excitement, using a system based around the X-Men movie franchise. Said rating system is brilliant, highly accurate, and utterly confusing. (Put it this way: 'The Hobbit' isn't quite 'X2' but it also isn't 'X3,' which makes it just about 'The Wolverine.' See? Accurate!) They also dig into the current season of 'Big Brother' and try to parse out the good (Helen!) from the bad (Andy!) and the ugly (Aryan Aaryn!)…

A couple days ago, Jeff broke the news that 'Veronica Mars' was staging a comeback from the TV graveyard, with creator Rob Thomas and star Kristen Bell raising 2 million on Kickstarter for a movie. They reached that fundraising goal in about three seconds. Jeff is excited; Darren is skeptical. In the new episode, they talk about the positives and negatives of bringing dead shows back to life. They also continue a feud they started on Twitter about franchise movies, as Jeff tries to stage an intervention to halt Darren's onrushing cynicism.…

The end of 'Fringe' and 'American Horror Story: Asylum' 1:31:15

12 years ago1:31:15

1:31:15

In the last week, two wacked-out genre fantasies came to an end. 'Fringe' aired its two-hour series finale, a bipolar (and low-budget) episode that ended with a heart-tugging sacrifice and questions left hanging. Meanwhile, the 13-episode saga that was 'American Horror Story: Asylum' ended with a decade-spanning bang. We dig deep into both endings. We compare the 'Fringe' finale to 'Lost' and 'Battlestar Galactica' -- is ambiguity better than specificity? And we really dive into 'Asylum'. Comparisons to Stanley Kubrick and Alan Moore are openly insinuated, and feminism is discussed.…

After five seasons of hopping between alternate universes, various timelines, and assorted states of drug-assisted transcendence, 'Fringe' comes to an end this Friday with a two-hour finale. This week on the show, Jeff and Darren look back at the long, curious, regularly-rebooted history of the show. Topics include: The curious fact that 'Fringe' was built out of cliches to be a hit, but wound up being an eccentric low-rated oddball; a sneak peek at Jeff's list of the Top 19 Fringe episodes; and an critical examination of how 'Fringe' straddled the line between procedural and serialized.…
