Pop culture-themed foods to delight your nerd bone.
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…
This column originally ran on HoboTrashcan.com. About half a year ago, I didn’t even know “Who” wasn’t The Doctor’s last name. Once I started watching the show, it took me under two months to make my way through all of the modern episodes. (Time to start the old ones!) I knew once I got going…
This recipe originally ran on HoboTrashcan.com. Did ya see Thor: The Dark World this weekend? Didja? I figured a good chunk of you would have. Even if you aren’t into The Avengers, Marvel or comic books in general, Chris Hemsworth draws you in. He could be a weapon in world domination if he fell into…
In my attempt to seem as outdated as possible, I’ve dedicated my HoboTrashcan Halloween column this year to a movie that is ten years older than myself… Young Frankenstein. I can’t help it, it doesn’t age. I’m also hoping that Gene Wilder will follow suit and doesn’t age. That’d be great. I know it’s not…
Musical and film. Comedy and horror. Rock and Motown. Good and bad. All the crazy dualities of Little Shop of Horrors, working together to make one of the greatest Halloween cult classics of all time. So let’s add one more to that mix. Port and Brandy. Two crazy adult beverages to make one awesome, blood-red…
Ron Swanson is a man full of manliness. Not a single one of you is more masculine than he is. Not one. (Except maybe Nick Offerman.) He likes steak and whiskey, he hates the government and showing emotion. If you are a Parks and Rec fan, you are a Ron Swanson fan. I have no…
Alllriiight!! Bob’s Burgers’ new season premiered last night and I was a big fan. I’m always a big fan. That show is the best thing Fox does right now. H. Jon Benjamin can do no wrong and the supporting cast is out-of-this-world-crazy. I could not pass up an opportunity to honor the show with some…
