An evening with Chevy Chase and the guy who did the UKIP Calypso

Movie Feature | Ed Williamson | 14th January 2018

Over Christmas, my stepsister's husband tried to palm off on me two tickets for An Evening with Hollywood Comedy Legend Chevy Chase at the Hammersmith Apollo, which he could no longer use. He'd paid Â£65 each. Obviously I wasn't going to take them face value: there was a decent chance it was going to be awful. Then last week he offered me a buy-one-get-one-free deal and the chance to leave a relative out of pocket was too good to pass up, so I went along on Saturday. It disappointed in the most incredible way.

Vacation

Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 19th August 2015

Online discourse being what it is, the announcement of a reboot or remake is usually greeted with dread and resentment. It's sacrilege. Why can't they just leave it alone? How can a woman possibly carry a proton pack? But this ignores the recent evidence that Hollywood has now got the cheat codes for 'repurposing'. Jurassic World, Godzilla, The Equalizer: respect the original property but make something of its own hue. You have nothing to fear from reboots except a Kevin James Uncle Buck, so make your way with confidence to see Vacation.

Community: The Complete Third Season DVD

TV Review | Rob Young | 26th September 2013

Much like Ed did a year ago in his review of Community season two, I find it a tricky, almost daunting prospect to review an entire season of something, even more so when I haven't had time to watch all 22 episodes. Look, I've just been super busy lately (catching up with Breaking Bad). But if the rest of the third season of Community is as sharp, original, and self-knowing as what I've already seen, then hell, my job's already half done.

Community renewed for fifth season, negating pun I thought of

TV News | Ed Williamson | 11th May 2013

Community landed a 13-episode fifth season at NBC yesterday. This is splendid news, but it does mean I have no reason to use the headline 'Troy and Abed in the mourning' that I thought of a couple of weeks ago when I was pretty sure it'd be cancelled. Remind me when it happens and I'll throw it in somewhere.

Community: actually back for real this time

TV Video | Ed Williamson | 4th February 2013

On Thursday. Probably. Unless Chevy Chase takes out a last-minute injunction, or they bump it for a half-hour Days of Our Lives special or whatever.

BREAKING: Chevy Chase took this long to leave Community

TV News | Ed Williamson | 22nd November 2012

I don't know about you, but the last time I left my boss an expletive-strewn voicemail then dropped the N-bomb in front of black colleagues, they didn't let me hang around long. Still, he's Chevy Chase ... and we're not. So long, Pierce.

Community: The Complete Second Season DVD

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 26th September 2012

You'll have noticed that we don't do DVD Weekly any more. It's difficult - arguably futile - to maintain a weekly feature based on DVDs you haven't seen, especially when most of them are reissues of Boon. So yeah, we probably just won't bother covering DVDs from now OH WAIT HERE'S A REALLY GOOD ONE

Return of Community 3.1

TV Video | Kirsty Harrison | 8th March 2012

It's what we've been waiting for people... it's back like Mark Morrison, and unlike Mark Morrison - it's awesome.

We have more DVDs to give away in yet another awesome competition and this time it's for a show that is genuinely brilliant, and not just in a be-nice-to-the-PR-people kinda way.
