Which side do you fall on? <p><strong>The Background</strong>: Nick Venable is an Assistant Managing Editor, and the TV Editor. His humble origin story with CinemaBlend began all the way back in the pre-streaming era, circa 2009, as a freelancing DVD reviewer and TV recapper. After rising up through the ranks covering Movies, Nick leapfrogged over to the small screen to cover more and more television news and interviews, eventually taking over the section for the current era. Born in Louisiana and currently living in Texas — Who Dat Nation over America’s Team all day, all night — Nick spent several years in the hospitality industry, and also worked as a 911 operator. And if you ever happened to hear his music or read his comics/short stories, you have his sympathy. His love for his wife and daughters is almost equaled by his love of gasp-for-breath laughter and gasp-for-breath horror. A lifetime spent in the vicinity of a television screen led to his current dream job, as well as his knowledge of too many TV themes and ad jingles.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What He's Into</strong>: Nick is one of those people who won’t necessarily insert a Monty Python reference into every conversation, but is still mentally equipped to do so. Beyond such appreciation for surreal UK comedy, Nick also indulges in as much horror splendor as possible, from Stephen King novels to James Tynion IV comics to Freddy Krueger one-liners to all things Mike Flanagan. Throw in a dash of NFL, some 311 and Weird Al, fried crawfish poboys, bourbon, ‘90s-era pro wrestling, crossword puzzles and mystery-driven video games, and baby, you got a stew going. (Nick will insert an Arrested Development reference into every conversation, if possible.)</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>What He's Excited About</strong>: Anything Jeff Lemire, Tom King and W. Maxwell Prince think of, ever. More of Kelly Reilly’s deliriously fierce performances on Yellowstone. HBO’s The Last of Us. Clone High’s return. Colin Farrell’s Penguin being in every movie/TV show/breakfast cereal.</p>

Hulu's PEN15 is back with a Season 2 packed with more cringe moments, more emotional nuance, and increasingly better performances from series co-creators and stars Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle. What began as a show interested in revisiting the growing pains of life while on the cusp of puberty — and steeped in early '00s pop culture, making it extremely appealing and relevant to older Millennial viewers — is now a show focused on exploring the emotional stakes of the narrative groundwork laid down in Season 1. This results in a thoroughly rewarding return, one which bears the fruit of …

Ninian Doff’s comedy Get Duked! wasn’t really on my radar earlier this year (back when it was called Boyz in the Wood), but I decided to give it a go, and I’m glad I did. It has the gleeful anarchy I enjoy in films like Hot Fuzz, Attack the Block, and Sightseers where domestic tranquility is shattered by violence, and that violence is greeted by silly dark comedy. It’s a unique mixture that’s more common to British comedy than it is for the U.S., and that combination gives Get Duked! its pop. You should …

Justin Simien's Dear White People is a film with bite. A stinging satire that feels both fiercely topical and sadly timeless, one that had so much influence it inspired a whole dang Netflix spinoff series of the same name. Now, we've got our first look at Simien's next film follow-up. And reader? I am excited. Bad Hair has a first trailer, and it's coming to Hulu on October 23, and that Halloween-ish release date is not a coincidence, as Simien seems ready to hurl a slice of horror goodness at us. Elle Lorraine stars …
