In Cinemas

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, Love, Burnt and Our Brand Is Crisis all hit theaters this coming weekend, marking a weird horror-film-less Halloween weekend.

On TV

The World Series starts this week and will dominate the TV at your local bar whether you like it or not. Next Saturday sees the premiere of Ash vs. Evil Dead on Starz and the second season of The Returned on SundanceTV. Does anyone watch The Returned? Should I be watching?

On Netflix

The time has come where Netflix seems to be releasing a season of a TV series every week now. The third and final season of Hemlock Grove is now available, for the five or six of you that actually stuck with that show for more than fifteen minutes; Arrow and The Flash and Gotham are now up for the DC Comics camp; and Jessica Jones, the Marvel follow-up to the hit Daredevil, streams at the end of November.
