The Lurid Blu-ray Brilliance of The Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor

Samuel Fuller’s twisted 1960s masterpieces The Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor (both of which made their Blu-ray debuts last week from the Criterion Collection) may feature whores, child molesters and nymphomaniacs among their lead characters, but beneath the sensationalism, both films rank as fascinating portraits of their time and rare explorations of society’s outcasts. They’re also incredibly entertaining.

But what a difference a few weeks makes! Or, at least that’s what Panettiere would have you believe. Warning: Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

5 Reasons Why Tonight’s Season Finale of Party Down Should Be Its Last

The admirable selflessness of Lizzy Caplan aside, the second season finale of Party Down — airing tonight on Starz, but already available via Netflix Instant Watch — could very well be its last episode. Even if Starz’s were to pick up Party Down for a third season, how would the show work when Adam Scott — the ostensible lead — can only appear in three of the likely 10 episodes because of his new job on Parks and Recreation ? That’s like having Dexter appear on his eponymous show 30 percent of the time. So, yes: This could be the last episode ever. And guess what? That’s probably a good thing. To get you revved up for the season finale, here are five reasons why this should be the end of Party Down .

So You Think You Can Dance Recap: Emotional Robot Takeover

Yes, someone was eliminated during last night’s So You Think You Can Dance , but that hardly seemed relevant considering robots ate our feelings . Just before the three lowest vote-getters danced for their lives, viewers were treated to a performance by Remote Control, a whimsical droid trio spray-painted in macaroni-sculpture gold. During SYTYCD ‘s audition rounds, the smallest member of Remote Control (Bryan Gaynor) tried out, made the judges cry, but was ultimately rejected because he’s too small and has such severe scoliosis that partner dancing would be impossible. Like most robots, he earned his revenge. Watch his insane (and moving) performance, and read on to lament the contestant who didn’t make the Top 9.

So Just Who is This Zach Anner and What was He Doing with Dennis Quaid, Bill Clinton and the KKK?

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Zach Anner. A self-described “wheelchair-bound lady magnet” from Austin, Zach is currently being championed as Oprah Winfrey’s successor after accumulating over 2.5 million votes in “Oprah’s Search For the Next TV Star,” a competition where users can upload their own reality show pitches and let internet users determine which is the best. So just where did America’s next comic star — who jokes that cerebral palsy is “the sexiest of the palsies” — come from? Roll the tape.
