COOL: Promoted. Episode 1.
Fancy a giggle? As you know, EIC strives to act as a soft, pillowy bosom to new talent, so we’d love to get your thoughts on episode one of new comedy pilot Promoted, written by actors Mark Elias and Marc Coleman, who know a thing or two about the life in the promo-lane. Tell us also if you’re […]

UNCOOL: Mad Men S5E4 discussion ‘Mystery Date’
April 9, 2012
by tellyanalyst
words: TA Well, I am mostly unenthusiastic about this lastest episode of Mad Men. Given the material, this should have been a mind-blowing installment: it appears that the writers attempted to thematize the issue of violence against women. We had it in almost every plotline: the horrible Chicago rapes and murders in the news; Don’s […]

COOL: The Little Paris Kitchen (we LOVE Rachel Khoo!)
Ohh la la! Bon maman!! Touche ma mere! Those watching new cookery series, Little Paris Kitchen, like us, are probably just reeling over clumsy, breathtaking 31 year old chef Rachel Khoo, who we’re convinced is about to take over France with her face. 6 years ago, Khoo, would you bloody believe it, was part of […]

COOL: Mad Men S5E3 discussion “Tea Leaves”
April 2, 2012
by tellyanalyst
words: TA Let me start by saying: I love this show again! I have always loved Betty—not as a person, because she’s a complete narcissist, but as a character. This episode proved to me what a great character she is: she has always been the person on the show most defined by societal expectations of […]

COOL: Trullo, N1
You may have past Trullo, on Highbury Corner, several times. As you fly off the roundabout, it catches the eye just a little too late. EIC grew sick of this happening, especially as head chef Tim Siadatan was an early graduate of Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen. So finally, we stopped the car one sunny Sunday, got out and went […]

UNCOOL: homophobia
Journalist, activist, economist and gay man Patrick Strudwick has created this video as a lifeline to other gay individuals who are struggling to come to terms with their sexuality. Suicide should NEVER be the alternative to living your life as you are, and standing up to narrow minded individuals who fear the unknown. EIC fully […]

UNCOOL: The Voice
As if the fickle Take Me Out lights weren’t demeaning enough, now BBC’s The Voice aka. The Jessie J Show brings human suffering to a whole new level. It’s groundbreaking stuff, because the already ‘established’ people invited to audition are: bald blind fat orphaned smelly odd dead or really, really hot!!! How, er, inclusive. And […]

Mad Men fans – this one’s for you. Turns out, MM Series 5 is everything we hoped it would be, and therefore well worth the wait. What was it, nearly two years? Oy vey. Now – like us – you’re probably just bursting to discuss what’s happened so far! The story, characters, plot-lines, themes and socio-historical […]

The Big Easy, SW3: So UNCOOL it’s COOL?
March 20, 2012
by benrobinryder
words: Ben Ryder Despite its position at the forefront of urban cool, EIC has found itself on the King’s Road twice in recent months. This is unsettling. Even more unsettling was the reason for our visit; a four year anniversary celebration, with dutiful partner in tow. Error; because The Big Easy is perhaps the least date-friendly […]

COOL: 10 reasons why we like HOMELAND (addictive US TV series no.9898975655
HOMELAND is like a deep saucepan of spag-bol left on the hob for eternity (well, 12 weeks). For the love of beef and tomato, you cannot stop going back for more. And every time – it just gets better! Here’s why the EIC team now have no life. Not that they did anyway. 1. Nakedness […]
