Jack Bauer and 24 still bestride TV like a colossus. A hoarse, belligerent colossus that clasps men by the lapels and thrusts them floorward, but a colossus nonetheless.
The overthinkers tackle guilty pop cultural pleasures, Dante’s Inferno (the movie based on the video game), the Jack Bauer cowboy/superhero myth, sexting, the Home Alone Syndrome, improbable sequels, and movie songs that tell you the plot of the movie.
