December 27th, 2015, Jets vs. Patriots at MetLife stadium. It’s one of the most important regular season games in the last decade that no one ever talks about. If someone brings up to you, it’s likely to notate the last time the New York Jets defeated the New England Patriots in a game of professional […]
Read more "Why the Packers ‘Cowardly’ Field Goal Try Was the Correct Decision"Stephen King’s The Stand is likely his most critically acclaimed novel, and it’s certainly the concensus Magnum Opus among his fan base. It certainly sold well, having been released right in the middle of the commercial apex of his career. Yet, it might not even crack Stephen King’s top 10 when it comes to his […]
Read more "COVID-19 Presents: The Stand"There is a scene early in the Joel Schumacher film Batman and Robin where Comissioner Gordon appears on the batmobile’s mini computer and announces to batman, verbatim: “There’s a new Villain in Gotham, Batman.

Read more "What The Lion King (2019) and Once Upon A Time in Hollywood Have in Common"Eight months ago I referred to the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh as the American equivilant of the Night of Long Knives. Overall, given the fact that America has descended further into facism and we’ve started rounding up immigrant children and murdering them by neglect, I think my general analysis that we were rapidly approaching the […]
Read more "Stop Worrying About the Rules; Democracy has Already Failed."Kevin Durant is perhaps the most reviled public figure in American pop culture outside of confirmed sexual predators like Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby. Old-school basketball fans hate him because he made the weak choice to join the 73 win warriors team. Young fans hate him because he engages in the dirt slinging on social […]
Read more "The Kevin Durant Crisis"I have a complicated relationship with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (As complicated as something as ultimately frivolous as a movie franchise can be).
