[Editor’s Note: Spoilers follow for “Mr. Robot” Season 2, Episode 6, “eps2.4_m4ster-s1ave.aes.” (Full review here.)]
TV keeps making ostentatious plays for regaining live viewership (and, as a result, getting live eyeballs on ads). We’re never seen anything like this week, though, when USA’s “Mr. Robot” exploded the idea of what you can do with in-show advertising, and truly rewarded those who tuned in live.
Earlier in the day, creator Sam Esmail had tweeted out a warning that of all the episodes of “Mr. Robot” that have aired recently:
To our streaming viewers, you should watch tonight’s episode of #MrRobot live with the commercials. Trust me on this.
— Sam Esmail (@samesmail) August 10, 2016
In this age of DVRing, it was a pretty big request (especially when you consider that “Mr. Robot” starts at 10pm and episodes often run over an hour). But once the episode began, Esmail’s reasons were clear.
Last week’s episode ended with Elliot (Rami Malek) experiencing a brutal beating...

Last Week’S Review: ‘Mr. Robot’ Dances With Boundaries and Bullets
In Elliot’s Head, Two’s A Crowd
One of the great things about Mr. Robot is that each week, it might be a completely different show. It’s never been afraid to mix genres, styles and tones in its depiction of Elliot’s fractured mindset, but the audacious opening twenty minutes of this week’s installment sets a new level of craziness, as Elliot finds himself in an late-eighties/early-nineties sitcom — complete with theme music, laugh track and even a special appearance by a legendary Alien Life Form.
As much fun as it was to see Wellick bound and gagged in the trunk, or Gideon-as-cop get run down by Alf, or Darlene get repeatedly socked in the jaw by her mother, the thing that stood out in this sequence was the way Elliot’s genuine terror and bafflement...

Netflix tapped a popular voice for the theme song of one of its most-anticipated new series. Carly Rae Jepsen will sing a new rendition of the Full House theme song “Everywhere You Look” for the streaming platform’s Fuller House reboot.
Jepsen announced the theme song news via her Twitter account on December 23, 2015. The 30-year-old Canadian singer teamed up with record producer Butch Walker for the new rendition of “Everywhere You Look,” originally composed by Jesse Frederick and Bennett Salvay for ABC’s hit series from the ‘80s and ‘90s. Netflix confirmed Jepsen’s participation in the theme song music for Fuller House by retweeting the singer’s initial announcement.
Netflix was rumored to be working on Fuller House back in April 2015. After the series was officially confirmed by actor John Stamos (Uncle Jesse in Full House) on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the streaming platform brought on several more original cast...

Victor Salva’s Jeepers Creepers will be remembered for being Justin Long‘s breakout role and for turning the 1938 Louis Armstrong hit into a iconic horror ballad. Beyond that, it’s an above average horror film, that, despite the end being much weaker than the majority of the film, is quite entertaining and provides some quality scares.
We first meet Trish (Gina Philips) and her brother Darius (Long) as they drive along a deserted road, surrounded by meadows and farmland, on their way home from college. Their sibling banter is suddenly interrupted by an old, rusted truck that comes flying up on their car, horn blaring.
After letting the truck pass, and spending a few moments filling us in on the legend of a murder on that same highway, it seems the trip is back on schedule, that is until they spot the very same truck parked outside a dilapidated church,...
