It’s been a while since I last made an Oscar prediction update for the 94th Primetime Emmy Awards. It’s been kind of challenging – not only have I been relatively busy with my day job, but with films and studios shifting everything around due to...
Well, the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards have come to a close. And overall, it was a night that gave us mostly what we expected – obvious winners, a couple big surprises, and a laidback atmosphere that showed us both the best and worst that award...
Well, folks, it’s that time of year again! The 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards. Who will emerge victorious in one of the strangest, best years of television we’ve seen in a long time? I mean, seriously. Even if we have a strong inkling...
Well, this year’s Toronto International Film Festival has come to an end. It was something of a quiet affair. There were very few new titles, and most of the titles they did have were almost impossible to see – it’s been almost roundly criticized...
This Sunday, the Television Academy will hold the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards. At this point, certain categories feel inevitable – Ted Lasso and The Crown are coming, y’all. But between categories consisting of almost exclusively new nominees and...

I feel like I’ve been writing way too many obituaries recently. And it’s not getting any easier, as Norm Macdonald, a man I consider to be one of my greatest comedic influences and one of the greatest comics to ever live, has passed away at the...
It’s rather astonishing that more movie musicals aren’t set in high schools. After all, Grease is one of the highest grossing musicals of all time, and the hormone and emotion-ridden time in an adolescent’s life marks the perfect place for...
Horror based on depression has become a dime a dozen in recent years. While it’s always been a recurring theme in the genre (horror is designed to help us cathartically release the terrors we can’t explain), it seems that in recent years these...
The big Oscar contender every year is the one that sneaks by subtly until festival season, and then strikes like a knife. It’s how Moonlight won, it’s how Roma won, hell, it’s even how Green Book won. This year, that quiet little underdog is...
It’s truly amazing and horrifying how fast tragedy can strike. Just last night, I was watching The Sopranos episode “Army of One,” which featured a breakout performance by beloved character actor Michael K. Williams. I thought to myself, “It’s...
