Conan Season 4 Episode 67: Seth Rogen

















5 second plot: Conan tries to become a beauty consultant for Mary Kay. After that he sings a song with Wikipedia facts about Dallas. Seth Rogen is there to promote his new film Neighbors and to talk trash about Zac Efron. There is also musical guest Phillip Phillips. Oh yeah, and they launch a baby towards a basketball hoop.

5 second review: The bit from Mary Kay is out of the world hilarious. Conan making a complete fool of himself is always spot on. The girl from Mary Kay does an amazing job keeping her cool.

How I Met Your Mother Season 9 Episode 23-24: Last Forever



















5 second plot: Barney and Robin get married. Flash forward three years: they divorce. Flash forward some more years: the gang isn't really a gang anymore. Oh wait, they are a little bit. But no wait, they aren't. Oh flash forward some more: the mom gets sick and dies. And old Ted asks his kids permission to pursue Robin.

5 second review: I don't know if I like the negative spiral these final episodes went in... Wait, I do know. It kind of screws up the entire show. This ending sucks. She gets sick? And dies? I don't think they could had screwed this ending up more then they did. They officially blew it.

IMDb score: 7,4/10
Our score: 2/10


Conan Season 4 Episode 66: Adam Sandler
















5 second plot: Conan is in Texas all week. In this episode he gets deputized (even after randomly killing people in a test) and he gets tested on his knowledge of Texas by Dallas Maverick Dirk Nowitzki. Adam Sandler was there to promote his new film Blend It. He also told a crazy elephant penis story. And stand up comedian Tig Notaro was wondering who would want to go swimming with diarrhea.

5 second review: Really great and funny stuff. My personal favorite: 'State flower? Beef.'. Now that's great writing. And what a big and amazingly excited crowd!

The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 16: A
















5 second plot: Rick, Michonne and Carl get attacked by Daryl's new 'buddies'. But as we all know: they are messing with the wrong people. The group, minus the attackers, then arrives at Terminus. They are welcomed with open arms, but something smells fishy. And Rick knows it.

5 second review: Cannibals, I knew it! Well, we don't actually 'know' it yet, but hey, we spotted the bones together with Rick. It makes sense. I think Rick is going to get medieval on their asses. Knowing that he went legendary vicious on the guy that tried to rape Carl. "He's mine."

The Raid 2 is fucking awesome

















5 second plot: Rama is at it again. This time he goes undercover to bring down a big criminal organisation. And the corrupt cops together with it. To get close to the big boss, he has to go to prison. Because that's where the son of the big boss is.

5 second review: Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This is two and a half hours filled with awesome ultra-violent fights. The story is not the main attraction here, it's all about kicking serious ass. And it's not just Rama this time, there are some other amazing characters at work. How about a beautiful deaf girl with two claw hammers? Fantastic.

IMDb score: 8,7/10
Our score: 9,5/10


The Grand Budapest Hotel is ludicrous






















5 second plot: A girl is reading a story written by a guy who interviewed a guy who witnessed the life story of M. Gustave, the manager (or something like that) of the Grand Budapest Hotel in the 1930s (right?). The guy who witnessed the life story is Zero, the lobby boy that became a good friend of M. Gustave.

5 second review: It's your typical Wes Anderson movie. The same visual watermark and style as always. Only this time it's not as boring as it sometimes can become, when he drowns in his own typical colorful style. This time it's a great adventure and there is even a little bit of story to be found. If you look really close.

IMDb score: 8,3/10

Conan Season 4 Episode 65: Rosario Dawson















5 second plot: First some crazy info-button results in 'What Am I Watching?'. Then a promo for Jan Seat's Backting Like a Pro. Then the gorgeous, super relaxed and super friendly Rosario Dawson, promoting her new film César Chávez. Next up actor/comedian Hannibal Buress who is not a fan of Jimmy Carter's nasty hands. And musical guest Frankie Ballard.

5 second review: This is one of those episodes where everyone is sparkling with joy. You can feel that they had fun making it. It's unbelievable how much Rosario Dawson likes to touch people. She is amazing. Conan did not object. Nor did Andy. And nor did the entire band.

Noah takes it a tad too far

















5 second plot: This is the famous story of Noah, who is asked (well, not really asked) by the man upstairs to build a giant ark to save the innocent of this world (the animals) from a giant flood that will kill every not so innocent creature (humanity).

5 second review: Darren Aronofsky takes on one of the biggest and most known stories in the world and then mixes this with every possible theory on the creation of life. That's plain nuts. And then his marketing department tried to sell this movie as a spectacular event. There are some battles in it, and I did find the rock-guards bashing humans in the ground pretty cool, but if you have seen the trailer, you saw almost all of the action.

IMDb score: 6,6/10

Conan Season 4 Episode 64: Fred Armisen

















5 second plot: First up in the show: we get the results of a Celebrity Survey. Then Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein put a bird on Conan's moon. Rachael Harris came on next. She is obsessed with Conan's skin tone. And with men's butts. And finally Conan had musical guest Lucius.

5 second review: Fun stuff. Conan laughing with himself is always great.

How I Met Your Mother Season 9 Episode 22: The End of the Aisle

















5 second plot: It's half an hour before the wedding and, of course, Barney and Robin are getting cold feet. Robin even wants to elope with Ted for a second. And Marshall and Lily renew their vows. Because apparently they have broken all their first ones.

5 second review: It's a typical great How I Met Your Mother episode, with lots of laughs but also lots of emotions and surprises. Everything is nicely buttoned up: Robin gets the locket, the slap bet is over,... The next episode is the final one (in two parts), how about that?

IMDb score: 9,4/10
