We love Sam Adams. Wait, we should clarify that statement: While we love Sam Adams the mayor of Portland, Oregon who good-naturedly plays a mayoral aide in “Portlandia,” this time we are talking about the beer. You know, the beer that started a brewing revolution when Jim Koch, founder of Samuel Adams beer, turned a…
There are beards (George Michael) and there are beards (Yosemite Sam) and, yes, there are beards (Liza Minelli), but we’re talking about whiskers, mustachios, and muttonchops that are way past five o’clock shadow. Our new original series “Whisker Wars” will be documenting the best beards in the land as they compete head to head, beard…

There’s just something about “Wilfred.” Whether it’s the pot smoking dog or the overarching strangeness of a lead character in a TV show being dressed as a pot-smoking dog, people just can’t stop watching “Wilfred.” If you haven’t gotten sucked into the weird world of “Wilfred” yet, here’s the general idea: Sarah is a fit,…
When filming commercials for local businesses, Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, know that passion sells.

The City of Baltimore has great exports: Crab cakes, “The Wire,” and Dan Deacon, just to name a few. But no one can argue that one of the best things to come out of the city is filmmaker John Waters and his cast of gloriously kitschy misfits: Divine, Edith Massey, Mary Vivian Pearce, and Mink…
Fact: Zombies are cool. From “The Walking Dead” to “Dead Set”, “Zombieland” to “Shaun of the Dead,” zombies are undergoing a renaissance. Well, a second renaissance really, since the first was when they rose from the grave to walk the streets and try to eat your dog or your nan. Since it’s summer and really…
Across this great country of ours (we’re still feeling patriotic after our 4th of July celebrations) there are cities, neighborhoods, and stores that are universally cool. They are those spots that you walk in and simply say, “Wow.” or “I want that. And that. And that.” However, the United States is obese large and reaches…
Rhett & Link make memorable ads for local businesses in their new show “Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings.” But to make the magic happen — and make an ad really stand out — sometimes Rhett & Link need to push local business owners and their employees out of their comfort zones.

So with no further ado or sparkly interlude: Here’s what to watch on IFC this week: Tuesday If the long weekend lured you away from your responsibilities and you failed to watch “Rhett…

Welcome to Austin, Texas where the women are strong and the beards grow long and the beer is always Lone Star. Okay, that may not be true for all of Austin (although in our experience, it is), but it certainly is true within the confines of the Austin Facial Hair Club. In our upcoming reality…
Last week on “Young, Broke, & Beautiful,” Stuart took us to his favorite stomping grounds in his hometown of San Diego. Not only did we get introduced to some of San Diego’s hardcore scene, but we also found out that the secret to Stuart’s broke-ass state of mind is to make every event BYOB. Those…
Ben Affleck’s adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s novel “Gone, Baby, Gone” is one of those movies that stop you in your tracks in your seat at the theater or on your couch. While that doesn’t make a ton of sense, if you’ve seen the film, you know what I mean. Sadly, hardly anyone saw the film.…
