The news and opinion website Vox (owned by digital media company Vox Media) partnered with Netflix in 2018 to release a weekly show called Explained, which was based on Vox’s series of YouTube videos. Those YouTube videos were short investigative essays (on average, under eight minutes long), but in their Netflix incarnation they grew to…

Oh ho, I’ve done it this time. I’ve really stumbled onto something great, I can tell. “Return to Horror High” looks like the kind of cheese that comes compressed in a can, and friends? I am here for it. The trailer suggests that someone bought a mask from a dollar store-the plain, white kind that…
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me,” the saying goes. There is some truth to that. However, it is also true that words do hurt, they sting, they let you know how people feel, and sometimes that is unpleasant. An inner world will easily crumble at the drop a…
Apparently it’s a golden age for creepy clowns. The “clown prince of crime,” Joker, is released next month. This month, however, sees Pennywise pick on someone his own size. Well they’re adults at least. Also has there ever been a better head-to-head cinematic match-up than Downton Abbey and Rambo: Last Blood? Surely that says something…
Traditionally, September has always had its own Coming and Going. Yes: the coming of fall, and the going of summer. No point in getting mad at September: September doesn’t know any better, and it’ll never change its ways. So let us cheer you up by helping you think of September in a different way, by…
Before we enter the shaming portion of our program, let’s all remember – and fondly -that I did guarantee that Linda Blair would be the final girl of Hell Night. Call it a spoiler if you must, friends, for a 39 year old movie (were you REALLY going to watch it?) but since my victories…
I made a mistake. Mea culpa and all that, and I’m ready to own it. I forgot that the unfortunate impact of the “side” aspect of “side hustle” is that sometimes things bustle in and you get off track. This, dear friends, was never my intention, but the summer reached chaotic heights, and time just…
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 3, Episode 13: “Mayday” I’ll be honest—I didn’t really know what to expect from the season three finale of The Handmaid’s Tale. As great as the show has been throughout its run, the last two season endings have been a little less than satisfying. Twice now we’ve watched June scheme and…
Mindhunter is back. Its second season has been available for streaming on Netflix for about a week now. When we were first introduced to the universe of Mindhunter in season one, we were transported to 1977. At that point in time, a paradigm shift in understanding the criminal mind was starting to be forced upon…

That service is called Bandbox, and it’s unlike any other vinyl subscription service out there. Groove Is In The Box … The Bandbox What’s the…
Archer: 1999 Season 10, Episode 9: “Robert De Niro” I love Archer. I’m not ashamed to admit that. The show, I mean. Not necessarily the person. Because while he may be as entertaining as hell, let’s be clear—Sterling Archer is a truly awful human being. He constantly abuses his friends (both physically and emotionally), he…

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 3, Episode 12: “Sacrifice” After last week’s explosive episode, it’s understandable that things would slow down a bit as the pieces move into place for next week’s season finale. And while “Sacrifice” isn’t quite as action-packed (or as bloody) as its predecessor, it’s far from uneventful. In fact, for three of…
