Gorgon Video announced that they’re bringing 1985’s sci-fi cult classic Evils of the Night to DVD on October 14th:

“Full of sex, lasers, synth-pop, feathered hair, bikinis and axe wounds, Evils Of The Night is a pivotal example of Reagan-era teen fantasy fodder. Genre favorites John Carradine, Julie Newmar (TV’s Catwoman) and Tina Louise (Gilligan’s Island) star as a gang of alien scientists who want the life-giving blood supply of horny teens camping out near their secret lab. Veteran Hollywood stars Aldo Ray and Neville Brand (in his final film role) play a pair of bumbling mechanics hired by the extraterrestrials to kidnap the teens for experimentation – with botched and bloody results. Co-starring adult film legends Amber Lynn and Crystal Breeze, and directed by Mardi Rustam (producer of The Psychic Killer and Tobe Hooper’s Eaten Alive), this 1985 sci-fi horror classic features some of the most gruesome...

From reenactments to breaching sharks to water that’s just a little too still, Discovery’s Shark Week has certain sights we can count on after years of attentive viewing, making it the perfect television event to drink to. (You know, because nothing speaks to the beauty and awe of nature quite like alcohol does…)

Sure, you could drink every time a shark appears on screen, but we’re going for something slightly more ambitious. Bring your 21+ self and can-do attitude, and get ready to play Entertainment Weekly’s ultimate Shark Week drinking game. Proceed with caution, or not at all.

The beginning of the end got underway for Breaking Bad last night, as "Blood Money" took viewers into the disturbing future of Walter White and then settled on his suddenly unsettled present.

Yes, Hank now knows the truth about Walt. And Walt knows Hank knows. And, in a scene we'll be talking about for years to come, Hank knows Walt knows that he knows... and no one has any clue what will happen from here.

But Round Table panelists Matt Richenthal, Dan Forcella, Steve Marsi and Jim Halterman will at least take a few guesses, as they convene below and debate the best scenes, best car wash names and more from one of the final episodes of one of television's best-ever shows.

What was your favorite scene from the episode?

Matt: I'll let other panelists tackle the nail-biting final confrontation and go with Walt's genius plan of how to reorganize the air fresheners.

On Aug. 11, Breaking Bad returns for its final eight-episode run. Before the second half of season 5 premieres, refresh your memory with this handy guide to the series — presented, naturally, in the form of the periodic table.

1. H — Hank: Schrader, Walt’s brother-in-law — a DEA agent who’s the Javert to Heisenberg’s Valjean

2. He — Heisenberg: Walt’s criminal alter-ego, named for Werner Heisenberg — a German theoretical physicist best known for his eponymous “uncertainty principle”

3. Li — Lily of the Valley: A pretty flowering plant found in cool, temperate environments and New Mexican backyards — and what Walt uses to poison Jesse...

Something's cooking on "The Simpsons" for this Sunday's episode, and it smells pretty bad -- "Breaking Bad," that is.

If the 2011 viral mashup “Breaking Bart” left you jonesing for another fusion of The Simpsons and Breaking Bad, you’re in luck, bitch! The opening credits of the animated Fox comedy this Sunday pay tribute to the AMC drug drama and one of its memorable sequences from season 5, which featured the 1969 song “Crystal Blue Persuasion.”

“The hardest part was making sure there were elements whose symbols were Th and Si,” says Simpsons exec producer Al Jean. “Once we had that, we were off to the races.”

Oh... crap.

With one trip to the bathroom and one sentence read, Hank stumbled on to his brother-in-law's secret on this week's midseason finale of Breaking Bad, setting the stage for eight episodes in 2013 that will bring this incredible series to a close.

But that's for next summer. For now, Round Table panelists Matt Richenthal, Dan Forcella, Chris O'Hara and Lisa Palmer are here to breakdown "Gliding Over All" and to wonder who, if anyone, will still be a live one year from now...

Breaking Bad, Season 5, Episode 8: “Gliding Over All”

Written by Moira Walley-Beckett

Directed by Michelle MacLaren

Airs Sundays at 10pm Et of AMC

At this point in its run, it’s plain that there is no better-made show around than Breaking Bad. In terms of its distinctive visual universe, its brilliant performances, its clever, ticksy editing, and its remarkably inventive use of music and original scoring, nothing else on TV is half as cinematic, immediately distinguishable, or aesthetically sumptuous. Every episode drips with atmosphere, crackles with memorable bits of dialogue and characterization, and is rich in both specificity and scope. Its place in the medium’s history is assured.

So why does “Gliding Over All,” the mid-season finale of the show’s final run, feel so strangely airless and disappointing? To figure that out, perhaps the most useful first step is to look back.

For me, the show’s third...

The final "Breaking Bad" of 2012 was filled with powerful images -- Skyler's giant pile of money, Jesse breaking down after Walt visits, the prison-execution montage -- and callbacks to previous episodes. In that way it felt very much like a finale.

But it's not, really, and the way "Gliding Over All" ends illustrates the problem with splitting up the show's final run the way AMC has done. If Hank's Walt Whitman-based revelation ("Gliding Over All" is also the title of a poem in "Leaves of Grass") had come in episode 8 of a normal season, it would have been a fantastic endpoint that would have us counting the hours until the following Sunday.

"Breaking Bad" won't be back next Sunday, though, and not for a lot of Sundays after that -- per the voiceover during the closing credits, the series will return next summer. And while surely lots of great...

Spoiler alert! If you read the following recap of Breaking Bad‘s mid-season finale, you’re going to find out what happened. So if you’re not caught up, be gone! Everyone else, proceed…

Tonight’s Breaking Bad episode takes its name from a beautiful Walt Whitman poem. It’s a good fit — both because Leaves of Grass will play a gigantic, incriminating role as the series comes to its end next year and because the final 2012 episode was an incredibly well crafted piece of poetry. So let’s jump right in and review what happened in “Gliding Over All.

My most vivid childhood memory of my dad involves his obsession with classic rock. If there was music on the car radio while we lived in California during the late ’80s, you better believe a DJ at K-Earth 101 FM was serving it up. My dad lost his blessed mind every time they spun “Crystal Blue Persuasion,” a psychedelic slow-jam from 1969 by Tommy James and The Shondells. Singing along wasn’t enough; he compulsively slapped his fingers, tabla-style, on the steering wheel of his ’78 Toyota Celica. The loose fit of the horn buttons in that car produced a pleasing...
