That’s about it. Not…
It’s a Wonderful Life is one of those iconic holiday movies that almost demands a rewatch every December. I first saw the film when I was in college, and I actually wrote an essay about it for my Abnormal Psychology class. This isn’t that piece—that was written more years ago than I care to remember,…

It would be difficult to categorize any of the following list as Christmas movies. I would expect there to be at least one or two out of the 11 wide release titles this month. Apparently the studios wasted no time and put the few they had out in November. So December becomes a time for blockbusters,…

Bob’s Burgers Season 9, Episode 10: “Better Off Sled” Remember how awesome snow days used to be? Outside of a gift-receiving holiday like Christmas or your birthday, a snow day was the best thing in the world. Snow on the ground meant we could stay home from school and roll around in the freezing cold…
Doctor Who Season 11, Episode 10: “The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos” Let’s be honest—I don’t think any of us were expecting too much out of this week’s Doctor Who season finale.

Animated sitcoms don’t exactly lend themselves to character development. The characters rarely get any older no matter how long the show stays on the air, so we can’t really expect them to learn much of anything. But there are exceptions to every rule, and Tina Belcher actually seems to be growing up before our very…
You’ve moved from the United States to Paris, France. You want to immerse yourself in the language and the culture of this beautiful country. You start with a croissant at a local café (far superior to the ones Dunkin’ Donuts sell). After a week of visiting the Paris hotspots – the Eiffel tower, the Louvre,…
