    A Terrible Idea That I Fully Support: Michael Vick’s Return to the Eagles

    Sometimes there are terrible ideas, but you support them nonetheless. This is a safe place for you to defend those ideas. This Is a Terrible Idea Yesterday the Philadelphia Eagles announced they were re-signing Michael Vick to a one-year contract worth up to $10 million. Or maybe it’s a three-year deal with a bunch of […]

  • Hollywood Prospectus Podcast: Grammys, Girls, and The Walking Dead

    I knew Chris Ryan was trouble the minute he put a dubstep drop into his breakup song about Jake Gyllenhaal. Or am I confusing him with someone else? Either way, on this week’s show we sank our dancing bunny fangs into the 2013 Grammy awards. Is Jay-Z the new Frank Sinatra? Is Justin Timberlake the […]

  • Last Night on ‘Blake Griffin Dunks on Your Life …’

    The life and death of Spencer Hawes! Blake Griffin (sorta) switched hands in midair against the Sixers last night.

    Gregg Williams Has Made a Very Interesting Facial-Hair Decision

    So what do you do when you are a disgraced major character from the Bountygate saga, best known for coining the phrase “kill the head and the body will die,” and testifying against the guys who played for you and the coaches who worked with you? Obviously, you grow an Evil Abed beard and join […]

  • Hollywood Prospectus Podcast: The Workaholics Guys

    The third season of Comedy Central’s Workaholics opens with the show’s three protagonists, Blake (Blake Anderson), Anders (Anders Holm), and Adam (Adam DeVine), acid-proofing their house in preparation for a hallucinogenic drug binge. And since then, things have only gotten weirder. The trio behind Workaholics have taken the basic premise of three bros who live […]

  • Danilo Gallinari’s ‘Shot of the Century’

    Best part about this other than JaVale McGee’s reaction (which is not quite this, but pretty close) is how the Nuggets announcers go from calling it the shot of the century, to the shot of the year, to “guessing” it’s going to be in the top 20 shots of the season. HAVE THE COURAGE OF […]

  • Hollywood Prospectus Podcast: Beyoncé, My Bloody Valentine, New Girl, and House of Cards

    The day after the Super Bowl is usually reserved for hangovers, trips to Disney World, or, if you’re one of the other members of Destiny’s Child, picking up a few extra shifts at Gimbels. (I kid! Luv u, Kelly!) But a case of the Mondays isn’t enough to stop Chris Ryan and me from podcasting. […]
