The 86th Academy Awards are this Sunday, and as awards season winds down, it’s once again time to see who will take home the top honors in acting and film. Here at The Hudsucker we try our hand at predicting the winners in some of the major categories. A few of our lovely writers and […]

The Pete Holmes Show is back!
The Pete Holmes Show came back at the beginning of this week to start it’s 13 week run, after being renewed following it’s 6-week test this fall. The show airs on Monday-Thursday at 12am on TBS, following Conan. While it hasn’t enjoyed high ratings, that does not fully represent the quality of the show. In […]
A Comedic Pioneer: Saying Goodbye to Harold Ramis
It’s been said that laughter is the shortest distance between two people. With such a thought in mind, one can never forget the bridge comedic genius Harold Ramis built, as he brought audiences together and helped define wise-cracking comedy for generations to come. Ramis, who was best known for his roles in Ghostbusters, Stripes; and director and writer of such […]
American Idol XIII: Rush Week
Now that the Top 13 has taken shape, I think it’s time to comment on each of them. For statistics purposes: I got 8/10 girls picks right and 7/10 guys picks right (including the bold Ben Briley prediction). I will say that some of their choices to sing shocked me, but some proved me wrong […]
American Idol XIII: The Top 31 Takes Shape
It was probably deliberate, but many of the people we spotlighted during the audition rounds ended up in the Top 31. For that reason, we won’t be re-reviewing them, but rather, the two of us will give you some predictions in the upcoming rounds. We have 31 contestants going into next week’s live shows, so […]

Baby Take A Bow: Remembering Shirley Temple Black
Iconic child star Shirley Temple died today at the age of 85. Temple was a child actress unlike any other in an industry always reinventing itself. With a career beginning at the age of 3, she became the first child performer to truly be deemed a movie star as she led and became America’s shining light during the Great Depression.
American Idol XIII: Hollywood Week Part 1 and 2
Despite our love affair with Idol even after 13 seasons, there are a few things that bug us about the show. New captain Per Blankens has done a good job adjusting a lot of those things, but one that he didn’t is Group Day. Sure, the challenge seems to test contestant’s abilities to work with […]
The Lego Movie: Everything Really Is Awesome
A film entirely made out of CGI Legos, full of pop culture references and celebrity voice talents. One that’s promised to be “fun for the whole family” and yet also geared towards the nostalgia of those in their teens, twenties, and thirties. What could possibly save this film from being anything but a lazy Hollywood […]
That Awkward Moment: Awkwardly Funny, or Just Awkward?
Most romantic comedies are set up the same way: the quirky but cute female protagonist, who “isn’t like the other girls”, goes through a series of mishaps, misunderstandings, and misfortunes until she winds up in the arms of her One True Love. It’s a formula as old as time – or at least as old […]
American Idol XIII Ep. 5 and 6: Salt Lake City and Omaha Auditions
Well, we don’t know about you – but we can’t believe the auditions are already over. Maybe it’s because we have judges who are actually okay with letting the talent be the focus of each episode. We’ve loved hearing so many singers over the past few weeks and even though we know that not all […]
