THIS WEEK ON Eastbound & Down – Chapter 17
If you follow the patent-pending Eastbound story arc, the 4th episode always ends up being one of the darkest. This season is no exception, as things get pretty grim…in a good way. This week Kenny deals with the aftermath of Shane’s death, and a mountain of child-born adversity, as we step back into the dark underbelly of comedic greatness after the jump.

THIS WEEK ON The Walking Dead – Better Angels
Souuieeeee!!! Hold on to your butts, it’s time for another Walking Dead 2min Redux. With just 2 episodes remaining, many questions are still left unanswered. Will Carl’s balls ever drop? Is Randall a real character or just a humanoid plot device? Is Shane insane or a misunderstood genius? Did Daryl do a stint with CSI at one point? Will T-Dog speak? Surrender disbelief, and follow me into the depths of post apocalyptic dramzlol, right after the jump.
THIS WEEK ON Eastbound & Down – Chapter 16
It gets wet n’ wild this week on EB&D, as we encounter some predictably unpredictable circumstances on our journey back to comedic certitude. It is now my professional opinion that KP has fully recovered from an anemic start to season 3, and much good seems to be in store ahead as we once again bask in darkness of the KP experience…right after the jump.
THIS WEEK ON The Walking Dead – Judge, Jury, Executioner
Sound the alarm. It’s time for another 2min Redux of our favorite zombie infested soap opera, The Walking Dead. This week, lil Carl does his bad boy thang, while Dale politics to save Randall from certain execution. And if you can’t tell from the blatant visual foreshadowing, this episode goes all shyamalan at the end. So be warned. It’s about to go down…right after the jump.

THIS WEEK ON Eastbound & Down – Chapter 15
The latest Eastbound drop was a disappointment to EB&D loyalist, who have such lofty expectations for the final season, that anything less perfection each Sunday night is enough to sour their entire following work week. The more fickle fans have already thrown in the towel, but my position continues to be one of moderation, and hope for a brighter future. So let us all hold hands in quiet prayer as we delve into the gritty details of Chapter 15…the good, the bad, and the ugly.
THIS WEEK ON The Walking Dead – 18 Miles Out
Hey kids, it’s time for another installment of TWD 2 Min Redux. This week, Shane and Rick go on retreat for some male bonding with the new guy, while Beth finally manages to get some attention at home by cutting herself. All this and more can be yours, right after the jump.
This Week on The Walking Dead – Triggerfinger
In part deux of our academic exploration of a 1000 ways to die from being a good person in a zombie apocalypse, it is my pleasure to present a 2 min redux of “Triggerfinger”. Per usual, this episode was a heaping pile of viewer frustration, and I’m pretty sure there was national spike in brain aneurysms at the time it aired. I’m checking into that presently.
Last Week on The Walking Dead – Nebraska
Shit rolls downhill at OL. So being the new guy, not only am I relegated to writing pompous, over-worded book reports about Kenny Powers & friends, but now I’ve also been tasked with summing up new episodes AMC’s The Walking Dead. Since the show is literally schmeared in bullshit and really loud, repetitive commercials. I thought I might do everyone a favor and reenact what REALLY happened, without the agonizing tender moments that encompass 95% of the show. What’s left is my boyish take on a show that seems like it was intentionally made to drive me crazy.
Enjoy. Or don’t. Whatever.
THIS WEEK ON Eastbound & Down – Chapter 14
[Caff Note: Give a cordial welcome to new OL contributor Sneaky Pete.]
The magic behind HBO’s Eastbound & Down is the dark authentic grittiness in which an idealistic plot is laid out early on each season, and the sadistically twisted corruption of that ideal as the season unfolds. In some primordial way, it reminds us of the daily incertitude of our own insignificant existence. All this dark meat is surrounded by a sesame seed bun of high-brow intellectual wit and low-brow slapstickery, making its esoteric depth quite palatable to the masses.
