Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll (SDRR)
Season 1 Episode 10: “Because We’re Legion”

Written by Denis Leary
Starring Denis Leary, John Corbett, Elizabeth Gillies, John Ales, Robert Kelly, Elaine Hendrix, Josh Pais
FX
Air Date: Thursday, September 17th, 2015, 10:00pm
The final season 1 episode of Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll aired last night, and I’ll tell you… this has been an enjoyable little season. The premise is original, the comedy is dark, the drama is light, and the rock does roll. The exploits of Johnny Rock (Denis Leary) and The Heathens, long-lost daughter plus kickass singer Gigi (Liz Gillies), guitarist/nemesis Flash (John Corbett), snarky girlfriend/backup singer Ava (Elaine Hendricks), severely in need of rehab bassist Rehab (John Ales), and silly foodie drummer Bam Bam (Robert Kelly), provided 10 episodes of roguish delight.

TV Review: SDRR 1.9 “Take My Picture By The Pool”

Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll (SDRR)
Season 1 Episode 9: “Take My Picture By The Pool”
Created by Denis Leary
Directed by Michael Blieden
Written by Jack & Denis Leary
Starring Denis Leary, John Corbett, Elizabeth Gillies, John Ales, Robert Kelly, Elaine Hendrix, Josh Pais
FX
Air Date: Thursday, September 10th, 2015, 10:00pm
Again… spoilers and NSFW. I love it.
Last week on Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, the episode lived up to its “pimp” name, as Johnny (Denis Leary) started talking to a young (and douch-y) guy to get him to date Gigi (Liz Gillies). He’d do anything to get her away from Flash (John Corbett). It almost worked too, and led to the best songwriting session of the season. Click here to see the list of some of the very creative song titles. Rehab and Bam Bam (John Ales and Robert Kelly) are sick of being 2nd (rather 4th and 5th) string in the band, and decide to create their own genre, Beastcore (animal sounds included). They are surprisingly kind of successful at a show, but the end brings about a never-mention-this-ever moment.

TV Review: SDRR 1.8 “Hard Out Here For A Pimp”

Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll (SDRR)
Season 1 Episode 8: “Hard Out Here For A Pimp”
Created by Denis Leary
Directed by Denis Leary

Starring Denis Leary, John Corbett, Elizabeth Gillies, John Ales, Robert Kelly, Elaine Hendrix, Josh Pais

Air Date: Thursday, September 3rd, 2015, 10:00pm
So spoilers…and I think the review is a bit NSFW.
Last week on Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, we met Johnny Rock’s (Denis Leary) mommy, and boy can she give “Mommy Dearest” a run for her money. The band goes back to the 70s for his mom’s wedding – cue Gigi and Ava (Liz Gillies and Elaine Hendricks) in authentic garb, breathlessly singing 70s disco. Mom (guest star Kelly Bishop) never got over getting tossed for the role of Mary Poppins in favor of “Supercalifragilisticjuliefriggingandrews.” She is all about herself, but the episode did highlight how awesome Johnny’s dad is at saxophone, at caring about his kid, and providing insight. Rehab and Bam Bam (John Ales and Robert Kelly) end the show with a wtf? moment: Rehab brings back a 170-year old woman while on Quaaludes (he’s a method musician), and Bam Bam gives a hand job to a guy for delicious ribs.

FX
Air Date: Thursday, August 27th, 2015, 10:00pm
Last week on Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, we were treated to the best episode of the season thus far, with Gigi’s (Liz Gillies) mom Cat (Callie Thorne) showing up, and tattoos on everyone’s brains. We learned some new words (my fave is tit-motized), and saw Flash (John Corbett) and Gigi’s budding relationship tested. I have to admit. I was kinda hoping that Cat and Flash would get together, and that Gigi would be fine with it, but that’s not how it ended up. The tattooing was the committment symbol, and a lesson on fathers and daughters. Johnny (Denis Leary) got tattoos to prove his committment to both Ava (Elaine Hendrix) and Gigi. And it’s okay that she isn’t ready, because she’s the daughter.

Air Date: Thursday, August 20th, 2015, 10:00pm
Last week on Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, Gigi (Liz Gillies) makes the whole band go to therapy. And yes… it is exactly what you might think with Griffin Dunne playing the therapist. He is the anti-Johnny (Denis Leary). He is an incense-burning, shamanistic, meditating, hippie doctor. The band responded with varying levels of hilarity. Gigi tries to work out her daddy issues. Rehab (John Ales) wants some good drugs. Flash (John Corbett) is obsessed with aging. Ava (Elaine Hendricks) rollerskates in booty shorts. Bam Bam (Robert Kelly) writes Drumsong. Johnny is skeptical, but his skepticism feels redeemed when they are dubbed, “The Most F***d Up Band In The History Of Rock-n-Roll.â€

FX
Air Date: Thursday, August 13th, 2015, 10:00pm
Last week on Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, the gang found out that The Heathens were still big in Belgium, as a result of faking Johnny Rock’s (Denis Leary) death. This stirs up mixed feelings for a few of them:
Johnny: Torn between wanting success for himself and Gigi (Liz Gillies).
Gigi: Torn between Flash (John Corbett) pushing to kick Johnny out when he inevitable f***s up, and being there for her dad.
Flash: Torn between never wanting to play with Johnny again and loads of cash (ok – that dilemma does not last long).
The rest? The dilemma is choosing their riders.
Johnny totally chokes after sounding amazing, but Gigi steps in and steps up. As we all knew she would, she does not throw her dad out. Their burgeoning relationship is the heart of the show.

Air Date: Thursday, August 6th, 2015, 10:00pm
Last week on Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, those crazy kids decided to create a Johnny Rock (Denis Leary) death hoax, in order to get buzz about the new band, with Gigi (Liz Gillies) as the frontwoman. There’s a lot of fun imagining the death method.
Ira (Josh Pais): “What if somebody shot you?”
Gigi’s debut is a success! There’s a cool father-daughter musical moment that definitely pulls at the heartstrings. Joan Jett has a cameo, and she looks lovely and badass at the same time, as usual.

FOX
Air Date: Thursday, July 30th, 2015, 10:00pm
Last week on Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, the band plus Gigi (Liz Gillies) tried to get Johnny (Denis Leary) clean and sober, so he could be more productive in the songwriting department. This is after he wrote a killer riff during a bender, that he didn’t remember writing. Gigi is worried about his health though. He signed a contract without reading it, and a few of the stipulations were – Gigi is the singer, Johnny is the songwriter, and he’s gotta write 5 songs sober in 30 days. Johnny went to each and every member of the cast to try to wiggle his way out of it, until finally Rehab (John Ales) relented on some Adderral. Johnny had the last laugh though. He wrote the worst song ever, and they all ran to grab liquor and weed – but that’s it. Johnny Rock is a master manipulator.

Last week on Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll (SDRR) we met Johnny Rock (Denis Leary), an aging rocker in a downward spiral, considering a gig as a frontman for a Bon Jovi cover band. Until his talented daughter Gigi (Liz Gillies) walks into his life (after he creepily hits on her). She’s got money, she wants to be a star, and she wants her daddy’s old band, The Heathens, to get back together. But first, Dad has to apologize to his old guitarist Flash (John Corbett) for the last few decades. Robert Kelly as drummer Bam Bam, John Ales as bassist Rehab, and Elaine Hendrix as Ava, backup singer and Johnny’s girlfriend finish the lineup.
