Pop Culture. Crude Humor. Bottom Feeding Attempts at Intellectualism.
Once heralded as the pinnacle of music journalism, Rolling Stone appears to have become little more than a tabloid rag. Within the past year, Rolling Stone has published two high-profile stories where interviewees have claimed that their words were taken out of context in order to support a sensationalist narrative pedaled by the publication. In turn, it's potentially cast a shadow on the magazine's credibility. Rolling Stone's ...
A crisp autumn wind has blown across the East Coast, reminding me that my blog has lain dormant since the summer -- specifically, when I decided to compare and contrast breakfast sandwich offerings. I've been swinging between feeling uninspired and mentally berating myself for not even attempting to write. So, after scratching my ass for a topic to write about, I fell back on one of ...
The last episode of Supernatural, television's longest-running genre series, has finally aired and I don't know how I feel about it. Having watched from the beginning, it's tough to say goodbye to a show that was a fixture of my Thursday nights for nearly 15 years. Supernatural is one of those shows that, when you meet someone else who watches it and has just as ...
Just when you think 2020 can't get any weirder, action star Vin Diesel has released his first musical composition, "Feel Like I Do." Yes, the big, beefy guy from the Fast & Furious franchise dropped this revelation in a socially-distanced appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. It's ironic that Diesel chose to make his foray into the world of creating club music in a year ...
Listening to a new album by a favorite artist is like getting coffee with an old friend you haven't seen in a few years and hoping they haven't turned into a total cunt in the time that's elapsed. Sometimes, you pray for it to be over and find yourself content with the memories of a time gone past. And in some instances, you pick up ...
Some people might argue that Bon Jovi's best song is either "You Give Love a Bad Name" or "Wanted Dead or Alive." I disagree. In my humble opinion, "Bad Medicine" is the group's crowning achievement. Now, look. I've had my gripes with Bon Jovi before. On one hand, I always felt they sat on the foppish end of the pop metal spectrum. However, time has borne ...
In this latest (like, a year late) installment of the Skywalker Tragedy Trilogy, we'll focus on the lifelong burden of the princess-turned-general, Leia Organa-Solo, the daughter of Anakin Skywalker and twin sister to Luke Skywalker. In this instance, it's not due to slacking off. Rather, I wanted to wait until the release of Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker to see the completion of Leia's ...
Normally, when I write a review, I try to objectively evaluate what was good, bad, plausible, or implausible about a film. I'm hard pressed to find anything to negatively critique about Joker. To say it's a great comic book film doesn't give it enough credit. It's a great film. Period. Joker touched on a variety of societal ills, specifically wealth inequality, lack of quality treatment for ...

You must pick one or the other and cannot say "neither." Give specific reasoning behind your choice, backed by either qualitative or quantitative evidence.

There's nothing more disappointing than taking a bite out of what appears to be a freshly baked brownie and finding out it's really just a fat, steaming turd. Okay, most people (including me) haven't munched on a shit log. But I imagine it's similar to the level of bait-and-switch disappointment of having sat through Netflix's The Dirt, the movie based on Motley Crue's autobiographical tome ...
