Relax, it's not what you think. 🙂 Life is full of stressors. Work, school, kids, money, politics, waiting for the new season of Bojack Horseman—it'll drive you mad if you're not careful. That's why the concept of self care has become more important than ever. You have to find time to do things for yourself,Continue reading "It’s Time for Me to Come Clean About My Porn Addiction"
The Legend of Cocaine Island (Netflix, 2019)
"If you knew where two million dollars was buried in the ground, would you dig the shit up? Fuck yeah I would, I did it one time." So begins the Netflix documentary The Legend of Cocaine Island, a wild, screwball tale of desperation, greed, and foolishness that's almost too outlandish to believe. It all beginsContinue reading "The Legend of Cocaine Island (Netflix, 2019)"
October Horror Roundup
Some years it seems October passes me by before I realize it, and I find myself staring November 1st in the face with the startling realization that I neglected to watch any horror to get myself into the Halloween spirit. Granted, horror can (and should) be enjoyed all year long, but taking in some spookyContinue reading "October Horror Roundup"
I Am A Killer (Netflix, 2018)
From the doubt-casting phenomenon Making a Murderer to the excellent serial killer series Mindhunter, Netflix is up to its ears in crime shows. Now they're out to prove that there is apparently no such thing as crime fatigue with the release of 10 episode docuseries I Am A Killer. Using a bit of a broad brush,Continue reading "I Am A Killer (Netflix, 2018)"
Behold My Dirty Little Secret
I need to confess something. I recently found out I'm into something kind of taboo. It's something that's generally frowned upon in popular society, but after stumbling across something on the internet recently I grew curious, and eventually realized I had to give in to my strange desires. And it all comes back to thisContinue reading "Behold My Dirty Little Secret"
Movie Review: Harry Benson—Shoot First [2016]
There's a chance you may have never heard of photographer Harry Benson, and if it were up to him, he probably wouldn't have it any other way. But if you do a quick Google search of the man, you'd probably recognize many of his photos. Harry Benson is responsible for some of the most iconicContinue reading "Movie Review: Harry Benson—Shoot First [2016]"
Movie Review: Brawl in Cell Block 99 [2017]
I've long contended that many comedians (or at least comic actors, if not stand ups) have the potential to be outstanding dramatic actors. Once seen as an unusual casting choice, comic actors have repeatedly proven their chops in dramatic roles, from Robin Williams and Will Smith to Will Ferrell and even Adam Sandler. I stillContinue reading "Movie Review: Brawl in Cell Block 99 [2017]"
The Sisters Brothers—Patrick DeWitt [2011]
It's been said that the best gift you can give someone is something they wouldn't buy for themselves. Taking that into consideration, receiving a Christmas gift in the form of Patrick DeWitt's second novel, 2011's The Sisters Brothers, is made all the better. I'm not a huge fan of Westerns—I've never even read any fromContinue reading "The Sisters Brothers—Patrick DeWitt [2011]"
Big Mouth [Netflix, 2017]
A lot of words can be used to describe puberty: Awkward. Gross. Uncomfortable. Hilarious. These also pretty accurately describe the Netflix animated comedy Big Mouth. The brainchild of comedian Nick Kroll and his childhood friend and Family Guy writer/producer Andrew Goldberg (plus Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett), Big Mouth debuted on Netflix in September 2017 andContinue reading "Big Mouth [Netflix, 2017]"
Reverend Horton Heat/Fishbone 09/30/17—The Cotillion Ballroom, Wichita, KS
You could make a lot of assumptions about the city of Wichita, KS. You could assume it's a flyover state hellhole devoid of any culture or art, but you'd be (mostly) wrong. You could assume it's a city full of hayseeds and rednecks who don't take kindly to outsiders, but you'd be (mostly) wrong. YouContinue reading "Reverend Horton Heat/Fishbone 09/30/17—The Cotillion Ballroom, Wichita, KS"
