‘American Genius’: Steve Wozniak on Jobs vs. Gates, & Skynet

Last updated on: September 17, 2024 at 9:34 am By Kate O'Hare

Is it possible that we have the Internet of Things — connected devices, appliances, etc., which are able to communicate with us and each other — because the real-world analog of the “Terminator” movies’ Skynet is shooting back messages from the future to control the creation of new technology? During a conference call last week for the Monday, June 1, premiere of the National Geographic Channel series “American Genius” — at look at contrasting minds, which launches with “Jobs vs....

‘Beyond A.D.’: Millennial Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. on Kim, Kanye and Witness

Last updated on: May 31, 2015 at 4:50 pm By Kate O'Hare

I’ve now been to several tapings of “Beyond A.D.,” the Web companion series to NBC’s “A.D.: The Bible Continues” — which is produced in the auditorium at an ultra-modern Evangelical community north of Los Angeles (whose headquarters is almost entirely devoid of any overtly Christian symbolism) — and I’ve seen Christian actors, musicians, “faith leaders” and pastors. What I have yet to see on the show is a Catholic priest or deacon, or anyone who has strongly identified as a faithful... Read more

Jim and Jeannie Gaffigan: The Real Catholics

Last updated on: May 29, 2015 at 9:10 pm By Kate O'Hare

Whether coincidence, conspiracy, kismet, synchronicity or divine intervention, the trailer for ABC’s midseason comedy “The Real O’Neals” and a sample episode of “The Jim Gaffigan Show” — set to premiere July 15 on TVLand — popped up online at roughly the same time (hurry, it’s only available through May 29). The ABC show, inspired by the childhood of gay activist, sex columnist and apparently deeply disaffected lapsed Catholic Dan Savage, offers a caricatured take on a suburban Catholic family with a panoply...

Jim and Jeannie Gaffigan: The Real Catholics (Part 2)

Last updated on: May 29, 2015 at 9:09 pm By Kate O'Hare

… Jeannie Gaffigan (cont’d — click here for part one): The main thing is, we don’t want to sit here and throw stones at the mainstream, ABC or whatever, because we don’t want to be the type of people that point fingers and say, “Look how bad this is,” or whatever, because that’s not good. That’s not a good thing for us to do. But this is our risk, because we wanted to exactly the opposite of what “The Real... Read more

Take away the creepy quasi-child-porn video, and the song becomes lovely — with nothing but the instrument God gave us, the human voice … Bravo, collegiate singers Twisted Measure from Elon University in North Carolina.

Can Chris Pratt Save Robert Downey Jr. (and Us All)?

Last updated on: May 25, 2015 at 9:05 am By Kate O'Hare

Two wrongs don’t make a right — unless they generate Web traffic or feed some need in ourselves to strike out at others. That’s what was so brilliant about this Facebook post from the ever-affable actor Chris Pratt: I want to make a heartfelt apology for whatever it is I end up accidentally saying during the forthcoming #JurassicWorld press tour. I hope you understand it was never my intention to offend anyone and I am truly sorry. I swear. I’m... Read more

‘Beyond A.D.’: Michelle Williams Debates Dating an Apostle

Last updated on: May 24, 2015 at 4:33 pm By Kate O'Hare

It probably happened. Human nature being what it is, somewhere along the way in the early days of Christianity, a woman had a crush on an Apostle — maybe more than one woman; maybe more than one Apostle. The identity of this woman or women is lost to history, along with how the Apostle in question handled the situation (one hopes, with great virtue and delicacy), but former Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams has given the matter some thought. Talking... Read more

The Duggars and the High Price of Reality

Last updated on: May 24, 2015 at 3:26 pm By Kate O'Hare

Why do TV reality-show families tend to have problems? First, they’re families. Families have problems. Second, they’re families that have chosen — or at least the parents did — to showcase themselves on reality TV. Some folks are drafted into fame, through circumstances beyond their control. Others volunteer for it. From the Kardashians to the Chrisleys to Mama June’s brood to the Duggars, kids are growing up on TV, because their parents said yes. I’ve never watched “19 Kids and...

Will Kurt Sutter Go Medieval on the Church in ‘The Bastard Executioner’?

‘Texas Rising’ — The Men & Women Who Birthed a Republic

Last updated on: October 1, 2024 at 2:40 am By Kate O'Hare

The conversation continues about the 5-part, 10-hour History Channel miniseries “Texas Rising,” premiering Memorial Day, Monday, May 25 … (click here to read part one). In the first installment, British-born director Roland Joffé talked about his desire to have male characters that represent traditional masculine values and act as protectors, while also having female characters with equal strength of will. When executive producer Leslie Greif comes in, he echoes Joffé, saying, “This is when men were men. This isn’t a bunch of... Read more
