By now you've probably heard of Amy's Baking Company in Scottsdale, AZ. The restaurant owners had an epic social media meltdown because of a bats**t crazy appearance on Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay. If you haven't he...

Man... there are like a bajillion titles that have been added to Netflix's Watch Instantly, probably to make up for the severe title loss last week. It sort of reminds me of a report I saw yesterday via Facebook: the Eas...

There's very little to be had on Netflix Instant this week, you know why? Netflix is currently in the process of destroying itself from the inside out. First off, a large amount of titles have been dropped (1,795 titles to be...

Last week, I had a birthday that brings me uncomfortably closer to 30. Since I'm a dainty lad, I won't say the number, but let's just say my life is going downhill from this point on. Luckily, Netflix Instant delivered some a...

Oooh yeah, Flixist fans. It's upon us once again. Comin' right at ya from New York City, yeah. The Tribeca Film Festival kicks off tonight! Yeah, a cup of coffee at primetime to keep us going until the wee hours, yeah. Time t...

After last week's Cartoon Network infusion on Netflix Now, we're back to another sparse week, giving me a few extra minutes to look up world news and catch up with current events... and basically worry. Things are getting kin...

If you had any plans to be social for the next few days, you need to cancel them. Loads of Cartoon Network shows are now available on Netflix Instant, including Adventure Time, The Venture Bros., Robot Chicken, The Boondocks,...

This week's edition of Netflix Now is on the right side of history. Like Jeffrey Toobin wrote in The New Yorker: "The question about marriage equality for all Americans is not if it will pass but when. The country has changed...

I sort of miss Austin, Texas right now, not just because of the warm weather, but because I wish I had more time to actually wander around town without the hordes from SXSW. I mean, I didn't even get to watch all the bats com...

Sure we have some awesome coverage of SXSW 2013 going on, but that's what's less important here. Yesterday by the grace of Jebus and all that is Jebus, a firm made a successful bid for Hostess of $410 million dollars. Which m...

Flixist is headed to Austin, Texas for SXSW, so this week's edition of Netflix now is just a warning: don't mess with us, suckas. Matt can make all animals (including humans) do his bidding, Geoff can control the elements, an...

It's a really light week on Netflix Now this week. In fact, the only major stuff that pops out are the critically maligned [REC] 3: Genesis, the comedy special Louis CK: Live at the Beacon Theater, and the supposedly pretty g...

Oh man! I remember seeing a trailer for The American Astronaut ages ago at a Madstone Theater (if anyone remembers that awesome, short-lived arthouse chain). I really wanted to see it but missed it during its brief engagement...

The state of The Onion is strong. My favorite unused Onion headline was something like: "Man Uses Spork as Knife." You may now applaud. Whereas last week's installment of Netflix Now featured an overwhelming deluge of titles ...

Lots of titles showed up on Netflix Watch Instantly since last week: 201 by my count. Three of them are quintessential 1980s movies: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Trading Places, and Scrooged. If you haven't seen any of these mov...

Super Bowl XLVII is a few days away, meaning that fairweather football fans like myself have something to watch this weekend (even if it's just for the commercials and high-priced movie ads). As a guy raised in the Bay Area, ...

Hey everyone, did you know that Dredd made a ton of money in home video sales despite tanking in the box office? Although that means diddly squat to the big cheeses who could make a sequel (since box office > home video), ...

Remember how I kept talking up how great Butter seemed last week? Turns out it wasn't so great, and that makes me sad. I mean, if I can't look forward to cute film about butter carving, then what can I look forward to? Oh wel...

It's my first shot at one of these (since Hubert is out for a few weeks), so I'll keep it simple and we can all get back to watching awesome Netflix stuff. Lately I just went and saw all seven seasons of How I Met You Mother,...

You spent an entire afternoon writing your New Year's Resolutions and most of you have already broken them. It's okay, though. Just buy looser pants and enjoy all the cheese you want like proper human beings. If you're into s...

You may have noticed a problem with Netflix's Watch Instantly on Christmas Eve. So did millions of others. Netflix experienced a streaming outage throughout the United States, Canada, and Latin America that lasted from Christ...

Listen, the world isn't going to end. We're going to be okay. People put too much faith in ancient hunky firemen calendars. But if you believe in the Mayan doomsday stuff, give me your money right now because Nostradamus said...
