TV Time – Showtime’s The Affair, returns for a third season this Sunday November 27th as this sometimes frustrating, sometimes brilliant, television drama continues to chronical the impact of an summertime Long Island affair that goes on to destroy two families. And, oh yeah, there’s also a murder, which, as you can imagine, further complicates things.
On The Big Screen – If Thanksgiving might truly be deemed the official start of the winter holiday season then this week new movie pick is both late and right on time. Bad Santa 2 is a sequel to the 2003’s Bad Santa, a demented black holiday satire that garnered a cult-like following over the years. The bad news is that any follow-up to a film that debuted more than 13 years ago, is so late as to never find an audience that supported the original film but the good news is it returned Billy Bob Thornton as the drunken “Bad Santa” and that alone might be good enough.
50 Shades Of Black Beer (Everywhere, USA) – This weekend (and Friday in particular) is about drinking deep, roasty and dark because the nation is celebrating “Black Beer Friday” and we expect you to participate. For more information on this exciting new holiday tradition check out, Black Beer Friday 2016, but do not forget to “DRINK DARK” tonight.
