The Gorge

"The gorge is the door to Hell, and we're standing guard at the gate."

Last week, we talked about some of our favorite TV couples. I now have a new movie couple to add to my list.

House of the Dragon: The Queen Who Ever Was

“The dragons dance, and men are like dust under their feet. And all our fine thoughts, all our endeavors are as nothing. We march now toward our annihilation.”

Mini Movie Reviews: Elementary, My Dear...

Today's theme is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous consulting detective, featuring films by Herbert Ross, Billy Wilder, Bob Clark, Roy William Neill, Terence Fisher, John Musker, Ron Clements, Dave Michener, and Burny Mattinson.

Captain America: Brave New World

"Don't be boring!"

That really is all we want, right? I wanted to be excited for this, but as I entered the movie theatre, my biggest wish was that it wouldn't be boring. Luckily, it wasn't.

Resident Alien: Heroes of Patience

Deputy Liv: These things don't usually have a happy ending. It could've been a lot worse.
Sheriff Mike: Yeah, I don't recommend citizens taking the law into their own hands, but that was – that was some real hero shit the two of you did in there.

Episode description: “On the verge of completing his mission, Harry confronts his own humanity.”

Whoever writes the descriptions for Resident Alien for marketing purposes doesn't do a good job. Fortunately, the writers of the actual show do much better, and this episode was a great end to a fun season.

Billions: Short Squeeze

"I don’t hold on to a loser."

Billions gives us our first knockdown, drag out brawl between the opposing forces.

Was this chess? Tennis? Muay Thai?

Honestly, the thing that this felt most like? Pinball.

House of the Dragon: The Red Sowing

“The order of things has changed, Your Grace. Why not embrace it?”

Game of Thrones had a tradition of delivering amazing penultimate episodes, for most of its run anyway. This was a pretty amazing penultimate episode for House of the Dragon.

Mini Movie Reviews: That's Amore

Today's theme is romance, featuring films by Frank Capra, Billy Wilder, Wes Anderson, Howard Hawks, Preston Sturges, George Cukor, and Jacques Demy.

Valentine's Day Discussion! Who is Your Favorite TV Couple?

What's your favorite movie or TV couple, or kiss? The Agents of Doux just discussed this topic thoroughly in the writers' room. And of course, spoiler warning. If you've never seen all of certain TV shows, especially Buffy, there is some risk of spoilage.

Billie Doux: My favorite television couple ever, like this is a surprise, is...

Doctor Who: The Evil of the Daleks

FINAL BOSS BATTLE

The final end... (for now)

Season Four, Story 9 (Production Code LL)

Starring Patrick Troughton as the Doctor

Son of Frankenstein

Baron Wolf von Frankenstein: "Herr Lang, eh? Never heard of him before. Oh, well. I suppose the villagers will say I that killed him just the same."
Inspector Krogh: "No, not that you killed him, but that you know who did."
Baron Wolf von Frankenstein: "Really? But of course I know who did. Haven't you heard? The monster!" [laughs]
Inspector Krogh: "Yes, that's what they think."

The third Universal classic Frankenstein movie, it’s also the last time Karloff played the monster. Let’s take a look at this lesser known movie about Frankenstein’s creation, and see how it holds up to the prior two films.

NewsFlash: Buffy Revival Coming to Hulu

Earlier this week, we got the news that a Buffy reboot is in the works at Hulu. After a couple of days of mildly feverish discussion in the Doux writers room, a second article surfaced informing us of Sarah Michelle Gellar's reasons for supporting this particular revival and of everyone's good intentions.
