In the interest of full disclosure, let me preface this article by saying that inconnu magazine ran and successfully funded a Kickstarter campaign back in 2011 in order to support our Debut Issue, and without those funds, this site would not exist today. It seems as though everybody has an opinion about crowdfunding these days. … Continue reading »
Taylor and the Gabrielles (we’ve got two) wrapped up the end of Veronica Mars season 1 in the second edition of the GTFO TV Club. This time, there weren’t any surprise visits from silent James Franco, but there WAS a fabulous game of word association and plenty of hating on Aaron Echolls, so. Watch it, and … Continue reading »
Complex female characters are many a TV/movie lover’s wet dream (and not just the females; Joss Whedon knows where it’s at when it comes to badass ladies), but something even harder to find (though not impossible) is the best fictional female friendship. Sure, they’re not nonexistent, but the world can definitely use more. I’ve dreamed … Continue reading »

High school is hard enough with tests and hormones, parents, zits, and extracurriculars – so why not add a seemingly endless and agonizing popularity contest to the mix! It’s no wonder the teenage years have been one of the primary subjects of film and television for so long. High school doesn’t have to be so bad, … Continue reading »
In my early years, shopping at Best Buy with my father, I remember seeing ads for this “thing” called Netflix. What could be more distinguishing than a bright red flyer among the sea of blue and yellow signs? One day, he succumbed to the plea of the cashier asking if he’d like to subscribe to the service.

Veronica Mars: Patron Saint of Snark. You know what they say – she’s a marshmallow. If I could Freaky Friday with any of my favorite fictional badasses, it would be you, Veronica. To spend a day in your gum-shoes, exchanging quips with your quippy father, capturing cheating spouses in the act at the Camelot, and hate-flirting with Logan … Continue reading »
