I provide testosterone to the site. You won’t be reading about how nice a actress looks in a dress or how much of a hunk Matt Bomer is in my reviews. I describe colors using words like brown, not taupe. My twitter name is @staffaroadtrip because I love road trips and have done two different 48-state road trips since 2008. My favorite show is White Collar.

Goodbye. Spoiler-Free Advance Review: Psych - “The Breakup” 12

Following the events of “1967: A Psych Odyssey,” I questioned whether Psych had used up much of the emotional storylines most shows save for their series finales. After all, we saw the departure of Chief Vick (Kirsten Nelson) and Juliet (Maggie Lawson), and then, in “Shawn and Gus Truck Things Up,” it looked like we were saying goodbye to Henry (Corbin Bernsen). By the time we get to “The Breakup,” it appears most of the goodbyes have been said

Huh? Review: Psych - “A Nightmare on State Street” 13

Several months ago, Psych fans were invited to vote for an episode they would like to see aired. The fans picked one titled “Dream Therapy,” which would later become “A Nightmare on State Street.” As with most Psych horror-themed episodes, “Nightmare” was directed by James Roday who wanted this to be the mother of all homage episodes. This idea works as long as you’re a horror fan; unfortunately, I am not.
