Jimmy Fallon – Like A Prayer vs. The Rock – Staying Alive (Lip Sync Battle)

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Lip Sync Battle
  • IMDb: link

Here’s Jimmy Fallon‘s lip-sync version of “Like A Prayer” and Dwayne “It’s Okay to Call Me The Rock Again” Johnson‘s version of “Staying Alive” from the opening episode of Lip Sync Battle. The first two episodes of the new show aired last night on Spike TV. Fun but full of a tremendous amount of filler between four musical numbers over a half-hour, and the bizarre choice of Chrissy Teigen as co-host (she flubbed her only real line in the opening episode), the show could use a little reworking. That said, the numbers themselves are fun (especially The Rock’s opening rendition of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” which has yet to be uploaded to the official YouTube Channel).

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - One Door Closes

S.H.I.E.L.D. vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. begins here. You know, I might be more interested in this storyline if it wasn’t playing out as too spoiled teenagers arguing over the same Xbox gamertag. “You’re not S.H.I.E.L.D.! I am!” “Nuh-uh, I called it first!” Anywho, everything starts when Coulson (Clark Gregg) calls out Mac (Henry Simmons) on his betrayal before realizing Bobbi (Adrianne Palicki) is actually in on it. Betraying S.H.I.E.L.D. for another version of S.H.I.E.L.D. the pair work to smuggle Fury’s special Pandora’s Box out of the compound before getting caught. When that fails Adama, I mean Gonzales (Edward James Olmos) sends in the Marines, I mean “real” S.H.I.E.L.D. for back-up.

The Flash - Tricksters

When a new villain calling himself the Trickster (Devon Graye) holds Central City hostage with a series of deadly pranks Barry (Grant Gustin) and Joe (Jesse L. Martin) go to Iron Heights to talk with the incarcerated original Trickster James Jesse (Mark Hamill). Reprising his role from the 90s television show, Hamill steps right back into character (along with stills from the show!), although 20 years of prison has certainly made the Trickster more menacing the second time around. The episode even finds a way to pair John Wesley Shipp and Hamill together again for a couple scenes when the escaping villain chooses Henry Allen as his hostage of choice.
