I abhor lateness, and yet here we are. I spent the past several days in a Mucinex haze (they do not sponsor my life in any way, though if they wanted to, I would take the money. Waiting on you, Mr. Mucinex), doing little beyond blowing my nose and watching Pet Sematary movies. All of…
We have gone just about 600 days since the season seven finale of Game of Thrones. Since then I’ve aged more than Melisandre taking off her magic necklace. Now the wait is over… at least for the premiere. We still have a ton of questions that will hopefully be answered over the coming weeks as…
Life can be so frustrating. We’ve all been there–you stow away in a random family’s car to cross country lines, and then you go to the grocery store to find someone to trick into helping you, and wouldn’t you know it—the person you choose turns out to be even crazier than you are! I mean,…

It was critically…
Flowers are blooming, cars are swamped with pollen, and Reese’s peanut butter eggs are lining the shelves of grocery stores everywhere. Yep, Spring has officially sprung my friends, and that can mean only one thing … it’s almost time for Record Store Day 2019!!! Don’t know what Record Store Day is? Short answer —…
The director is going all out for his new movie, and we couldn’t be more excited about it! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD10dDdEGmU] Zombie plots have been hashed out many a time. From the B Movie roots of George A Romero’s Dawn of the Dead in 1978 to slicker submissions in Danny Boyles 28 Days Later in 2003….
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty (clever code, here, for “Kelly’s continued pure, unmitigated delight”) of episode 2, I have done a little bit of pro bono digging, and found that the name of the What We do in the Shadows theme song is called “You’re Dead” by Norma Tanega, and I highly recommend Youtube-ing…
After a phenomenal first season, we’ve all been anxiously awaiting the season two premiere of Killing Eve. Will it live up to the hype, or will it struggle to maintain its momentum? Will it continue to keep us on the edge of our seats, or will it go hopelessly off the rails after showing so…

It’s that age-old battle between comic book juggernauts. Once again Marvel and DC slug it out. This time it’s with their latest big screen titles. But it’s definitely not a fair fight. DC launches Shazam!, the quirky action comedy that is basically the superhero equivalent to Tom Hanks’ Big. While Marvel unleashes the behemoth, Avengers:…
