My goal for this site was to cover the fun and ever-changing world of pop culture. Unfortunately, darker stories frequently arise that leave me no choice but to discuss them. I have no idea how to properly address these types of scandals-I don’t...
The greatest cult classic of recent memory is undeniably The Big Lebowski. The story of the Dude and the bizarre figures in his life as resonated with so many people, it’s become something of a religion (Dudeism). For years, people have demanded...
It’s a highly detailed argument over who has played the best live action Batman. Kilmer and Clooney were given nothing to do, Keaton was just a bit nutty, Affleck is too mean, and Bale was too “WHERE’ RACHEL! SWEAR TO ME!” However, there’s one...
We are currently living in a golden age of television. Since 2007, we have been gifted shows such as Mad Men, Community, Parks and Rec, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Modern Family, BoJack Horseman, House of Cards, Inside Amy Schumer, and more...
Some authors just work better on page than on screen. For every Room or Gone With The Wind, there’s The Road or The Reader. I get the feeling that this is the case with Phillip Roth, who has a very stylistic prose that just doesn’t correlate to...
If you were to ask me what my favorite trilogy is, I would most likely avoid the obvious answers of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and The Godfather to pick the near-perfect Mockumentary Trilogy by Christopher Guest. After participating in the...
I sometimes wonder if I’m wasting my time with these “What I Watched” sections. It’s supposed to be a community piece, and for all five pieces, I’ve been screaming into the nether. However, for the time being, it’s a nice way of showing you all...
I posted the trailer for newest film in the Star Wars franchise, Rogue One, and explained that Disney is planning to create a series of spinoffs of the franchise. One of the most exciting projects they have lined up is the Young Han Solo Project...
One of the greatest films of 2014 was Calvary, a British comedy so black it doesn’t feel right to call it one. Written and directed by John Michael McDonagh (the brother of the man behind In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths), the film managed to...
Romantic historical thrillers used to be a much more prevalent genre. The most obvious I can think of is Casablanca, but there are dozens, to be sure. They’ve recently started to become a dying breed, but Academy Award-winning director Rober...
I have not seen David Lowery’s Ain’t Them Bodies Saints. There are hundreds of indie films that people “love” a year, and it is impossible to keep up. And besides, many of these directors usually are overrated, so how good can Lowery be? The...
If you’re watching the Olympics, congrats on being one of the only Americans doing so! You’re a saint for putting up with NBC. If not, here’s a recap of tonight’s important moments: Michael Phelps won his 22nd metal, Simone Biles is continuing to...
