  By Josh Lasser on March 13, 2015 • ( 4 )

  By Josh Lasser on March 6, 2015 • ( 3 )

  

  I don’t want to be Vince Vaughn anymore. Oh sure, there was a moment that I thought it would be awesome to be Vaughn (he was so money and he didn’t even know it), but that time has gone. I… Read More ›

• Binging Amazon’s "Bosch" and Loving it

  By Josh Lasser on March 4, 2015 • ( 4 )

• Is Jim Gordon Becoming a Problem for "Gotham?"

  By Josh Lasser on March 3, 2015 • ( 4 )

  

  On the whole, I like FOX’s “Gotham.” I think it’s a fun comic book series and has actually done a really good job of setting up Batman’s world. That is not to say, however, that it doesn’t have issues, and… Read More ›

  By Josh Lasser on February 26, 2015 • ( 4 )

  

  Watching ABC from 8:30 to 9:30 last night (February 25) offered a stark contrast in the execution of two sitcoms. Up first was “The Goldbergs,” which attempted to one-up its ’80s references by recreating “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” and then… Read More ›

  By Josh Lasser on February 24, 2015 • ( 4 )

  By Josh Lasser on February 13, 2015 • ( 4 )

  

  The third episode of “Lass is More” is now live, and what’s more, I think that content-wise it’s our best yet. It is certainly our longest episode, but I don’t think that my old 11th grade English teacher’s adage  about… Read More ›
