There’s a lot to like about Baby Driver. It’s impeccably shot and edited, the music is very good, the characters in the movie are all very cool, and it features the best car chase scenes in years. What I liked the most about it though is how the…

Cars Forces Me to Grow Up
I probably have a weird relationship with Pixar’s Cars franchise. I never thought it was about selling toys, which apparently it is. I also never thought it was overtly cheesy or kiddy, despite the spinoffs it has birthed. I legitimately liked the first movie and the universe as a…
Wonder Woman is the bright spot of the DCEU
A couple of years ago before the Marvel Cinematic Universe existed superhero movies were very different. There was no grand unifying scheme or vision, no shared color palette between movies, no crossovers at all. Spider Man, Batman, The X-Men, and Superman all lived in their own little silos. Most of…
Grill with Charcoal (at least once)
This weekend marks the unofficial start of summer and the official start of grilling season in America and I have one simple suggestion, grill with charcoal. At least once. I was reading this article about whether you should grill on charcoal or gas, ultimately their take was “It depends”. That’…
Master of None season 2 makes me feel good
There was a moment as I watched all of Master of None season 2 over the past weekend when I said out loud “What a good life….what a good show.” The unexpected thing about this is that it wasn’t during one of the moments when Aziz or his…
I tried to hate Guardians of the Galaxy 2
There’s a scene in the Guardians of the Galaxy 2, where Yondu the blue skinned glowing mohawk whistling arrow man nervously walks up to another ravager leader and tries to gain his approval and the camera pans up to Sly Stallone wearing a normal jacket with some LED strips…
'What am I missing here?' or 'Watching Win it All'
Win it All is a 2017 release available now on Netflix, directed by Joe Swanberg starring Jake Johnson and written by both of them. Coming into the movie I was familiar with Swanberg's first movie "Drinking Buddies" which was unique in that the dialogue in it was completely…
Applying Netflix's new ratings system to everything else
There's no two ways about it folks, Netflix's new rating system is amazing. It's the best thing that's ever happened to the internet so I thought I'd apply it to everything else. So let's start now: Food McDonald's Big Mac:🖒 McDonald's McRib:🖓 45 day aged prime wagyu steak:🖒 Black Licorice:…
I just found out about "Pancake Syndrome" and my life will never be the same
My day started as most days do, opening twitter and reading through news when I ran into this weird and horrible sounding headline: Connecticut college student, who lost father in 9/11 attacks, dies three days after choking in charity pancake-eating contest I'm sure you've ran into this story today…
One Punch Man and All Powerful Heroes
Let me just say this right at the top, If you like superheroes at all you should watch this show. There’s no denying that I’ve had problems with the whole idea of superheroes and superhero movies/shows. I’m probably just an angry old man now who’s…
Logan and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad genre

The Grand Mac has made America great again
There’s really no denying it, 2016 has been a rough year for the ol’ bars and stripes. The election gets more depressing each and every day, there’s lead in the water, Coldplay’s part of the super bowl half time show happened, celebrity icons are dying left and…
My 1988 Honda Civic
My first car was a 1988 four door Honda Civic DX, in brown, with rusty leaf springs and a faulty gas pump. I loved that car. I can’t say it was the first car I loved, my mom’s 1990 Ford Taurus is the first care I really loved,…
Super Hero movies don’t deserve undying support
The thing about Batman v Superman At some point we have to stop allowing “comic book” movies to get a pass simply because we’re seeing one of our favorite characters on the screen. Before I go on you may be asking , Who is We? We are the kids who…
