I’m in my early 30s. With regard to television and movies, I am a wealth of knowledge pertaining to nearly all programing aimed at my demo. Boardwalk Empire, The Walking Dead…if I haven’t seen it, I’ve at least heard of it. Somehow, though, music has passed me by. Completely. I […]
If a woman says “no” to a man’s marriage proposal, she owes him the ring back. It takes a real pigslut to think otherwise. But what if she says yes, but things get rocky after that? Co-hostess Allison has found herself in exactly that situation and Will and I are […]
The Way, Way Back is a well executed–if by the numbers–coming-of-age dramedy (Christ that’s a lot of hyphens).

I’ve watched Orange Is the New Black, which makes me both an expert in the penal system and the transgendered, so I am perfectly qualified to discuss the nuances of the newly-convicted Bradley Manning wishing to live his life as Chelsea. Actually, I’m an idiot, but even I realize this […]
It was revealed Thursday evening that Ben Affleck would play Batman in the Man of Steel sequel. For those of you expecting a diatribe about how this is the worst nerd news since Donald Glover announced he was leaving Community, you won’t find it here. I savor the tears of […]
The only positive in my life is an AIDS test. That and a solid sense of humor. If the comedy elite finds something funny, I almost always find it funny as well. The exception being the work of Simon Pegg. When it comes to Mr. Pegg, literally the entirety of […]
