Early Buzz: Tarantino, Poehler, 'Doctor Who' and more
Happy Monday! I hope you enjoyed the weekend; I didn't get to the movies like I'd hoped, but I did watch Homeland and a few too many episodes of my latest guilty pleasure, Scandal. That show is kind of refreshing compared with other, bloodier dramas I've been into lately.
