“Sons of Anarchy” Season 5 Review: The wheels keep both turning and spinning

How do you review a show you admire rather than love?

“Talking TV with Ryan and Ryan”: Breaking down this week’s “Sons of Anarchy”

Mo Ryan and I are back with the second of two podcasts this week. As promised, we break down tonight’s crazy episode of “Sons of Anarchy,” entitled “Burnt and Purged Away.” If you saw the ep, you know there’s plenty to talk about. Roughly thirty minutes worth at least, given the length of our […]

“Talking TV with Ryan and Ryan”: Community, SAMCRO, and Sepinwall

Mo Ryan and I had the great opportunity to have Alan Sepinwall join the podcast this week. It was good timing, in lieu of NBC’s midseason announcements this week that left “Community” on the bench and the network’s future in limbo. The three of us also talked about this week’s overstuffed, but curiously undercooked, episode […]

“Sons of Anarchy”: Season 4 Review

Kurt Sutter would hate any critic calling the fourth season of “Sons of Anarchy” a comeback. I mean, LL Cool J hated that term, but something tells me Sutter would take that rage up a notch or six. Stung by the criticisms of his show’s third season, Sutter lashed out at those that didn’t like […]
