Hollywood Prospectus Podcast: Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Kanye West, and Movie Franchises
There are no prime directives on the Hollywood Prospectus podcast — other than, perhaps, Thou Shalt Not Forsake Meek Mill and Thou Shalt Overrate All Bourne Movies — so it wasn’t any sort of violation for me and Chris to tear into Star Trek Into Darkness (1:10). Amid crazy spoilers we pointed out troubles far more […]

The Premier League Future Form Guide
The Premier League season ended on Sunday. On the last day of the 2011-12 season, I needed oxygen, a Sergio Aguero mask, and a vacation. It was all last-second drama, intra-city power shifts, and brave new worlds. This season? Not so much. United had the league wrapped up a couple of weeks ago, Wigan went […]

Hollywood Prospectus Podcast: Mad Men, Game of Thrones, the Upfronts, and Vampire Weekend
Up from the 36 Chambers, it’s your favorite Jamie Lannister fan-pod! Better late than never, am I right? Just as well that the Hollywood Prospectus podcast comes a couple days late this week.

Chip Kelly Bans Tacos, Has Your Stepdad’s Music Taste
Chip Kelly has been busy revolutionizing the Philadelphia Eagles. I think it was Lenin who said all revolutions have casualties. The first casualty in Chip Kelly’s revolution was Mexican cuisine. Kelly banned “Taco Tuesdays,” a staple of the Andy Reid regime (why are you laughing?). It’s all protein shakes everything up in Philadelphia now. The […]

Manchester City Just Want to Be Loved (So They Are Going to Fire Roberto Mancini)
During what would be a doomed FA Cup final performance at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, Manchester City fans sang for their doomed manager, Roberto Mancini. The divisive Italian still had a place in the hearts of the club’s supporters, even if he had fallen out of favor with City’s relatively new front office regime (the […]

Just What Does Wayne Rooney Think He’s Doing?
Regard the Rooney. Here he is, above, in a photograph taken last January, in the act of kissing, or grabbing, his Manchester United badge on his Manchester United jersey, in front of some Manchester United fans, at Manchester City’s stadium, the Etihad, in an act that probably made Manchester United fans delirious, and Manchester City […]
