The Immortal Kevin Fitzpatrick was born and raised in New York City, and that doesn't make sense. Kevin wears many hats, including actor, editor, and writer, but never yellow. The best things in life are Back to the Future, beets, Firefly and The Venture Bros. When not picking apart the minutia of pop culture in film and TV, Kevin can usually be found RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

Unfortunately, Netflix Has a New ‘Lemony Snicket’ Trailer for You
It is with great regret that we must direct you toward the latest trailer for Netflix’s take on Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, a thoroughly displeasing trailer that will only darken your day. Well … the series itself looks incredible, we just want you adequately prepared for all the despair sure to result.
‘Making a Murderer’ Already Editing Season 2 Episodes
The ten-year development of Netflix’s Making a Murderer left it all-but-impossible to envision what format a second season would take, especially as new headlines from the case continually alter the narrative. Netflix’s immediate plan is as open a mystery as the Teresa Halbach case itself, but it seems filmmakers Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi are already editing together new episodes.
Netflix Finally Allows Downloads for Offline TV and Movie Viewing
It’s not quite a streaming service hooked up to your eyeballs, but if there’s one thing Netflix subscribers have clamored for, its the ability to watch TV and movies on occasions where internet connections aren’t explicitly available. So it is, that Netflix will now let viewers download its programs at no extra cost.
‘Duck Dynasty’ Has Finally Been Hunted to Cancellation
Once upon a time, TV stood in awe of Duck Dynasty pulling in significantly higher ratings than some non-reality shows, to the point that one member’s exile from the series made national headlines. Now, after five years and eleven seasons, the Robertson clan will finally hang up their duck whistles, at least on TV.
‘MythBusters’ Puts Next Generation to the Test in ‘The Search’ Trailer
It could be awhile yet (if ever) before Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman take on the MythBusters title again, but at least ten new science-minded personalities are waiting in the wings for the Science Channel’s new competition to replace them. See for yourself in the first trailer, as MythBusters: The Search farms the next generation.
‘Making a Murderer’s Brendan Dassey Ordered Released, Pending Retrial
Whether or not you subscribe to Netflix’s Making a Murderer championing Steven Avery’s innocence, few would argue the cruelty of Avery’s cousin Brendan Dassey being railroaded as an accomplice. There may yet be good news on that front, as Dassey’s overturned conviction and release have been made official, even as the state intends to re-try him.
Watch Stephen Colbert’s Somber, Inspiring 2016 Election Sign-Off
Little in America went the way people expected in Election 2016, and anyone watching Stephen Colbert’s live 2016 Showtime special can certainly attest to that. The mood was one of shock, far more than laughter, but leave it to Colbert to still get audiences on their feet with a rousing, sober (barely) assessment of the world going forward.
Sterling K. Brown, Sarah Paulson May Reunite for ‘American Crime Story’ S2
Asked to recall the most endearing pair of The People v. O.J. Simpson, what would you say? Certainly not John Travolta and Courtney B. Vance, or David Schwimmer and a glass of juice, but Sarah Paulson and Sterling K. Brown’s Marcia Clark and Chris Darden. Ryan Murphy may yet get those two crazy kids together, as Brown is reportedly in for the second, Katrina-focused season.
