Continue? (OR: The Subtle Art of Extracting Meaning from Meaninglessness)
It’s easy for me to pinpoint the moment that got me hooked on “Continue?” I can’t recall how I initially stumbled across the show. Probably via a YouTube suggestion algorithm. I was a bit late to the party. I don’t … Continue reading

Untimely Movie Review: How the West Was Won
As part of my flagging recommitment to this blog, I’ve dusted off my Warner Brothers 50 Film Collection, which I purchased back in early 2014. I fairly regularly provided reviews of the films in that collection, which I’ve gradually watched … Continue reading
Bill Buckner Never Needed Redemption, But He Got It Anyway
There was a moment a few years ago on Curb Your Enthusiasm that caught me by surprise in a way that I’m not sure any other television show has. The season in question revolved around Larry’s misadventures in New York, … Continue reading

Have We Finally Lost It?
The first time I saw the snippet of the MAGA kid / Native American drummer video, my reaction was about the same as most other people’s. “What a jerk that kid is.” “Somebody needs to teach him a lesson.” “I … Continue reading

Timely Movie Review: The Rise of Skywalker
*MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD* “The dead speak!” The first line of The Rise of Skywalker‘s opening crawl was an immediate red flag. In Episode IX, the dead don’t just speak. They give speeches. Much as I did with The Last Jedi, I made … Continue reading →
