The Seventh Season of Psych brings changes to Santa Barbara as Shawn (James Roday) and Juliet‘s (Maggie Lawson) relationship gets serious, Juliet learns the truth about Shawn’s psychic abilities, Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) and Marlowe (Kristy Swanson) get married, and Gus (Dulé Hill) gets a girlfriend (Parminder Nagra). The season also ends on a cliffhanger with Shawn and Gus being fired as consultants and Harris Trout (Anthony Michael Hall) stepping-in to take over as the SBPD’s new head honcho following Chief Vick’s (Kirsten Nelson) suspension.
Highlights from the season include Shawn trying to help Gus cover-up his apparent involvement in a murder (in one of the series’ best episodes), Henry‘s (Corbin Bernsen) unscheduled Mexican vacation with Juliet’s untrustworthy stepfather Lloyd (Jeffrey Tambor), the mystery behind Juliet’s new roommate, and an extended-cut of the series’ 100th episode which reunites several of the cast members of Clue (Lesley Ann Warren, Christopher Lloyd, and Martin Mull) for a murder mystery in the style of the 80’s film.

Based on Jordan Belfort‘s own accounts, The Wolf of Wall Street stars Leonardo DiCaprio as an aspiring stockbroker whose discovery of penny stocks, and how they could be used to earn a broker far more profit than an investor, led to his meteoric rise and eventual downfall. Reuniting with DiCaprio and choosing The Sopranos‘ Terence Winter to adapt Belfort’s book, director Martin Scorsese‘s three-hour comedy highlights the absurdity and tragedy of Belfort’s life on Wall Street while making a pretty strong argument for the entire industry’s inherently-flawed nature which only feeds on humanity’s worst impulses.
Three hours is too long for a comedy, any comedy, but I’ll give credit to Winter and Scorsese for producing the funniest movie I saw all year. Part of this is due to the nature of the story and how Scorsese chooses to frame it for maximum effect and part is in the casting. Jonah Hill (as Belfort’s best-friend and partner) and Matthew McConaughey (in the far smaller role of Belfort’s mentor) both provide bizarre, but also often hilarious, moments.
