The Oz Network - TV & Film Recaps

We are one week away from the finale of The Amazing Race Canada, and we have plenty to say on the elimination of this season's most talked about team. How did a jam tasting challenge turn out more physical than most challenges this season? Would sledge hockey have been better used as a Face Off? How did apple sorting turn out to be the most exciting challenge of the episode? Will Colin admit that...

How was Ben almost named Jonathan Taylor Thomas? Why is Colin ashamed to admit Scott Bairstow is from h...

It's that time of the week to get Lost as we move into the 7th episode of the 4th season, Ji Yeon. Is this episode just fine? Why do we care about Jin finding a giant panda for a random Chinese man? Why does Hurley give a weird smirk to Sun in the hotel? Are we crying when Jin's grave is shown? Why is Kate so random this season? Do we all want to pass Jin the cereal? Should Jin know as much Englis...

Who did...

From a blacked out bus to a G8 summit, we're here to talk about all the excitment (and at times lack thereof) on the most recent episodes of The Amazing Race Canada.

Do you feel broken? No? Well maybe you should listen to our 8th episode recap of the 6th season of Third Watch called Broken to change your mind! Is it random to see Cruz and Davis actually have a scene together? Is it a rare thing to actually see a male rape victim in a TV show like this? How great is it to see Cruz and Carlos interact? Why is it wrong for Cruz to judge the councilman so quickly?...

It's time to take a Leap of Faith by looking at the episode of the same name with the 7th episode of the 6th season of Third Watch.

It's that time of the week to once again get Lost as we look at the TV series of the same name and move into the 4th episode of the 4th season, Eggtown. Is this guaranteed to be a bin for Noah? Does this episode have the worst title of any ever episode in the history of the show? Why can't Ben and Noah get past a simple explanation of a scene?
