Fans of their podcast will know that Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery, the hosts of The Worst Idea Of All Time, are no strangers to punishment.

While some celebrities are down to engage in a little bit of creative fan service every now and again, one actor apparently took a fan’s jocular request way too far.

Don’t get us wrong—Sea Fever was unsettling before it became eerily, ironically prescient.

Though there is currently no shortage of Matt Berry content on television these days, it’s been years since fans of the cult favorite Toast Of London have gotten a fresh dose of Steven Toast’s uniquely pathetic brand of horniness. Thankfully, these trying times have given the sonorous-voiced comedian the opportunity…

Cries of unity have spilled from just about everyone but our messy president as COVID-19 continues to tear apart the fabric of our lives, our economy, and the entertainment industry. Now, in what’s being described as a “historic global broadcast,” NBC, ABC, and CBS are teaming up for a crossover fundraiser event, One…

Fans of Downton Abbey and staying calm during times of global crisis could find much to like in Belgravia, premiering Sunday April 12 on Epix.

It’s no doubt hackneyed to wish that David Carr were still around, writing us through these strange and often difficult days. How would the journalist cover our absolute failure of a president?
