Emma-Kate Croghan’s indie flick has the verbal ping pong of a Kevin Smith joint crossed with the good-natured repartee of a Nora Ephron movie

Film history is dotted with stories of immensely talented people who launched their careers with a bang then disappeared from the scene far too quickly. What a shame we haven’t seen more from writer/director Emma-Kate Croghan, who rose to acclaim in the 90s and has made only two feature films: 1999’s Strange Planet (with Claudia Karvan and Naomi Watts) and 1996’s Love and Other Catastrophes.

Pity the How to Get Away With Murder fan who missed this week’s episode and hopes that her co-workers will catch her up around the water cooler on Friday morning. Ain’t nobody got time to produce a power-point presentation, a multi-page flow chart and a dramatic reenactment of tearful pleas from world-class fibber Bonnie Winterbottom.

In the wake of the horrifically awkward meal served up by this week’s Grey’s Anatomy, there was good news and bad news. The good: Mary Richards may no longer be considered the TV character who threw the worst parties. (Look it up, kids!) The bad: That dubious distinction might have been passed on to Amelia, Maggie and Meredith, who was damn near shattered by the prospect of breaking bread with Callie’s new girlfriend, Penny — you know, the doctor whose bad call cost Derek his life. (And here, Arizona thought that she was gonna need stiffer drinks to make it to dessert!

Flesh – a-ah – ladies man of the universe!

The first Flesh Gordon [spoofing the Flash Gordon serials] was released in 1974 and was originally envisioned as a hardcore flick, but the script was changed and it became a softcore frolic. In 1989, an even more bedazzling sequel was released and it has become a cult classic in its own right as it pushed the outer reaches of decency and good taste that is allowed in an R-rated movie, which would explain why there are so many different versions of the flick floating around. What separates Flesh Gordon Meets the Cosmic Cheerleaders from its predecessor is that the toilet humor runs at a rapid fire pace, and there is not a single secretion or orafice that is not mimicked or mocked.
