Superstore (2015) s01e04 – Mannequin
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 7, 2019
“Superstore” significantly ups its game this episode. The cold open has Jonah (Ben Feldman) trying to show off how well he’s bonded with his coworkers by unintentionally insulting most of them. The sequence ends in a great banter showdown between manager Mark McKinney and assistant manager Lauren read more
The Super Inframan (1975, Hua Shan)
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 6, 2019
Until the third act, Super Inframan at least keeps a brisk pace. The movie’s got almost nothing going for it—other than Chen Yung—yu frankly courageous very seventies score and even it’s a small blip of goodness, not a positive feature—but at least it moves. It doesn’t drag through the entire read more
“Go to the hills”
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 6, 2019
I got my MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago, which both does and doesn’t seem on brand for me. I wasn’t an art school kind of person but I’ve always been a believer in making an education from what’s available in a place, which sucks because I’ve gone on to give that advice only to have read more

The Mandalorian (2019) s01e04 – Sanctuary
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 6, 2019
It’s a really good thing the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) has seen Seven Samurai, otherwise he’d have no idea he and new pal Gina Carano (as a former Rebel shock trooper) would be able to train the villagers to take on the raiders out for their crops. The villagers hire Pascal, who’s on this backwate read more

The Flash (2014) s06e08 – The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Pt. 2
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 5, 2019
So unlike previous seasons, the CW “Arrowverse” showrunners—at least on “Flash,” “Supergirl,” and to some extent “Batwoman”—are doing a pre-Crisis arc and a post-Crisis arc, which might end up making a lot of sense depending on how Crisis goes… so this episode is the big finale read more
The Flash (2014) s06e06 – License to Elongate
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 5, 2019
So Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) gets his own episode and it’s, for some reason, a James Bond send-up. He and Grant Gustin are in tuxedos trying to stop Bond villain wannabe (literally, the guy wants to be a Bond villain, it’s part of the narrative) Carlo Rota from selling a doomsday laser to some one read more
The Flash (2014) s06e07 – The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Pt. 1
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 5, 2019
“The Flash” seems to be in a race—no pun intended—to see how bad it can get before the Crisis crossover. This episode gives Grant Gustin his first showcase all season and instead of giving him scenes opposite the regular cast, like his wife, dad, friends, sticks him in a battle of the wills. read more

Zombie (1979, Lucio Fulci)
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 4, 2019
They filmed a lot of Zombie on location—New York City, the Dominican Republic, the ocean floor. For over half the movie, the location filming is the most important thing—if we’re going by what director Fulci showcases the most. Not even the gore gets a bigger showcase until the third act, though read more
”Think about the future”
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 4, 2019
You may have noticed some changes at the Stop Button in the last few days. A totally different theme, TV posts, no header images, inconsistently getting the new site versus the old. It’s not just you, it’s everyone. Well, somewhere out there is an ISP with updated DNS not doing the inconsistency, read more

The Happytime Murders (2018, Brian Henson)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Dec 2, 2019
The Happytime Murders is exceptionally foul and exceptionally funny. It’s set in a world where animate puppets and humans co-exist, with the human bigotry eradicated because they’ve all decided to hate on the puppets instead. There’s no explanation of how the puppets came to be or when they came read more

Batwoman (2019) s01e08 – A Mad Tea-Party
The Stop Button Posted by on Dec 2, 2019
This episode has Sam Littlefield’s character—just the character, not Littlefield himself, which is great because Littlefield’s awful—but Littlefield’s character is impersonating Dougray Scott, who’s also terrible. Only when Scott’s pretending to be Littlefield pretending to be Scott, Scott’s read more
