This week’s episode of Game of Thrones was all about new friends and new places. Well when I say new friends, I mean that characters met for the first time and didn’t get along. When I say new places, I mean we saw two ancient castles for the first time and they were promptly taken…
We’re right in the middle of summer. The weather is warmer than it has been in a while, which means that going outside seems like something only a madman would do. That’s why Netflix exists, with its many movies and TV shows, we can all spend hours watching those instead of dying in the heat….

Personally, I’m starting to feel this way about Batman, Spider-Man, and even a little with Star Wars. Which are some of the biggest franchises in the world. I feel this way about Spider-Man for…
From the end of season six through last week’s season premiere, everything seemed way too optimistic for our favorite characters. That’s not the Game of Thrones way. Episode two, Stormborn, reminded us of that. Daenerys’ first action in her conquest led to a pretty rough defeat on the high seas. But after last week’s introduction,…
When it comes to pop culture staples that have managed to spread across the entire world, few have been more successful than Monty Python. The British surreal comedy troupe, featuring members Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, is perhaps one of the most famous comedy groups to ever…

Sure I rewatched all of the seasons and the blu-ray extras. I read all the articles and watched all the trailers on repeat. But it felt like Game of Thrones season 7 may never come. Even as social media swelled this past weekend with random acquaintances posting their favorite quotes in anticipation. It wasn’t until…
