I’ll admit, I’m not an avid Spider-man comic book reader. So when I watch the Spider-man movies, I don’t have the book biases that others have. I’m strictly speaking of the movies based on a movie-fan’s knowledge. That being said, I was a little skeptical when they decided to reboot the series so soon after…
I don’t know what this thing is where series’ get off on extending their final installment over the course of two years. Breaking it up. Just call it a fucking extra season, man. Mad Men’s final season starts on Sunday. Well you know, kind of. The first part of it. The second part will be…
Last week, in anticipation of the Game of Thrones season four premiere, I brought you A Feast of Ice which featured foods from the north. Bake the Black, a steak and peppered bacon pie that would warm your bones after a night of guarding the wall, Dire Wolf Puppy Chow to keep in your pack…
Every time I’m really into a show and the season ends I feel like I’m going to DIE before the next one starts. It’s always so fucking long between seasons and seasons are just far too short. I know that’s not necessarily fair. Especially when it comes to Game of Thrones. Each episode is like…
I’m like, 12. Or at least I act it sometimes. I think that’s a big part of the reason I’m not a mom. I’d end up yelling at the kid that it’s MY turn to play the video game. I watch cartoons, I collect toys and I play video games. I know a lot of…
You guys. You’re watching this, right? Rick and Morty on Adult Swim? It’s fucking brilliant. It’s the brainchild of Dan Harmon (I love Community) and Justin Roiland (I love Lemongrab) and airs on Monday nights at 10:30pm. It just started in December and it has skyrocketed to the top of my favorite shows list. The…
Holy Shit Snacks! The new season of Archer premiered two weeks ago on FX. The show is taking a huge detour from what we’re used to and surprisingly, it’s not a suckfest. I was concerned that leaving the spy agency aspect of the show would be a mistake, but it doesn’t feel forced and is…
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is baking lots and drinking beer. Or at least that’s how I do it, because believe-you-me, you do not want to hear me sing Christmas carols. One of my favorite holiday movies is Elf. Instant classic. Yeah, I went there. It’s heartwarming and adorable with funny moments and…
Editor’s Note: Below is the column as it appeared on HoboTrashcan.com. I don’t know why this movie is so god damned polarizing. But I guess that’s because I’m completely on one side of the argument. I love A Christmas Story. It puts me in the mood for the holidays every year. Not that it takes much for…
John Hughes. Genius voice of a generation. (Not Kanye.) He made two of the most quintessential holiday movies of our annual repertoire. Planes, Trains and Automobiles for Thanksgiving and Home Alone for Christmas. I watch them every year, and chances are, you do too. I’ve already put in Planes, Trains and Automobiles this year. And…
