Is The Challenge critically reviled or just critically ignored? Because I love it. It blends my sports fandom and my wife's soft spot for reality television perfectly and it is our shared favorite show. There is some rampant misogyny that flies in the face of the contemporary MTV brand, but it is also an athletic…

Absolutely, it's as big a gesture as he's capable of, and the Get Out thing is extraordinarily charming. But he's admitted he basically just goes broke and trusts that what he puts into the world will return as more, and while his career trajectory right now suggests that's true, it's not a good long term strategy.

As an educator, you don't think the lack of oversight and the fudging of results among charter schools in certain areas, particularly Pennsylvania, but also Illinois, is problematic. I'm not saying that charter schools are inherently without merit, but a lot of times they can be low-key assaults on church and state…

Nobody's gonna stick up for Yahtzee? It may not be as dynamic as Head's Up or as involved as Risk, but I've had many good times rolling the dice and drinking beers. Sometimes life's pleasures are simple. Also, Yahtzee's treasure hunt formula, like darts, has a building tension that is exciting while maintaining low…

Whenever Almodovar includes a film within a film it serves as a guide on how to interpret the film itself as well as broader cinematic commentary. In Atame!, Marina is shooting a cheesy horror film before she is abducted, informing the audience that the true horror story is the one that takes place in the primary…

Bob Dylan's biggest role
Was Masked and Anonymous, not Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid. Not only in screen time but involvement also.

The Last Waltz
The part at the end of "The Weight" where she looks at Robbie Robertson and Rick Danko like she's about to cry and says/whispers "Beautiful" is the best part of the movie.

Yeah, there are plenty of great nap spots by water here, but none by the ocean. While Davis chose well taking her to the Fly in Audubon Park by the river, I prefer to lay around Bayou St. John.
