"Thousands of records…tens of thousands of tracks….Shiro knew that somewhere within was the answer to why that cat appeared on his balcony a half hour before noon every Saturday. Had the cat truly spoken the last time they met? Who was "Naoko", and would they truly meet in that distant place where dreams and time,…

For a time, Dr. P advertised trying its soda hot to entice winter folk. For a time as a teenager, I worked at a movie theater, and a friend and I eventually dared each other into microwaving cups of Dr. Pepper…Hot Dr. Pepper? Surprisingly okay! Of course, we then dared each other to drink microwaved pickle juice…(also…

How widespread is Freebirds? We have a ton of them in Texas—they're just like Chipotle but vastly better and more robust. Just so many options of what you can stuff into a giant tortilla. I ask, because a cousin from Ohio recently informed me that Chuy's TexMex brand isn't Austin-specific either—there's Chuy's as far…

*Pushes up taped-together glasses* Hey now, Ivy would never sacrifice innocent plants as a gag! This is more like something the Joker would do TO Poison Ivy in retribution for her helping the Bat on some case. "Bats with a Flower…wither and die together! WahHAHAHA!"

I dunno, this kinda of stuff makes me more sad than anything. I've never gotten what's supposed to be so funny about all of Lindsay Lohan's trouble and floundering, either. Take a child, put a camera on them and keep it there for their entire adolescence…then keep those cameras rolling as the child enters their early…

Did the last episode of S-Town go a little too far in airing a dead man's dirtiest laundry? I've been wondering. His political beliefs were public knowledge, his general sexuality was an open secret…but airing the deepest, darkest shit that was keeping him grounded in some way towards the end, keeping him sane and…

It was a good series, a funny and smart series. I watched it all. But I'm the kind of person who could never get over how viciously cruel and pessimistic this show was, especially towards its own main characters. As few episodes as there were, so many left me with a bad taste in my mouth, thinking, "Well…that was just…

Just to be clear…Superman would throw the Hulk into space, Batman would smirk and press the button on his specialized gadget that shut down and paralyzed Iron Man's suit, and Wonder Woman would laugh aloud as she literally flicked away Black Widow.

I feel like the model of big studios releasing their movies in theaters rather than giving in to streaming services is far, far less likely than streaming services somehow convincing studios to release their new movies on streaming at the same time as the theater release. A movie ticket costs around 10 dollars per…

Adam is easily the worst Bad Guy in the entire series. I don't know what they were thinking ("He has a floppy disc drive in his peck! SCI-FI!!") But for me, that whole season ended the question of if Buffy needed a love interest at all. That answer was no. If the answer is someone like Riley, then no, no, no, let's…

Yes, I know he's probably doomed and I just have to wait this narrative out. These kinds of stories happen. Maybe I'm just still bitter about Buffy and Riley. Oh, Riley, you insecure little man. ("I'm awesome and the best, but you're inherently better and stronger, and I'm never gonna stop stressing over that,…

Even after all these years (and it's been YEARS—wow, don't we all feel a little old now) I still consider Arrow to be the best show of this particular suite of shows. Flash supplanted it with it's great first season, and then got stuck running in place with the same kind of stories and adversity over…and over…and…

I repeat…why has this show become the Mon-El hour? What writer/producer/whatever saw Mon-El and decided.."This…THIS is our real main character! Anything Kara does, says, or feels needs to be tied to this d-bag! ANYTHING! Every major story needs to be about him!"
"I dunno, boss, it's supposed to be about Supergirl, and…

Is he seriously this disconnected and sheltered from reality? No idea that he has become a rich, white privilege monster? Does he have a secret compound somewhere where he tests contrived, forced-witty lines on a series of female robots who hate him? I don't care if I win the contest—I ain't taking the chopper ride to…

I like Spider Man, I've read hundreds of issues of Spider Man. He's my favorite Marvel guy. But MAN does this read as someone who was paid to write up something super flattering about the new Spidey movie. Seriously, why else write a gushing article about a typical summer popcorn flick's super cheesy POSTERS? "They're…

Seriously. Something being labeled as "for babies" was the worst. A death sentence. Something being called "for babies" was the worst thing it could be called, and the Power Rangers fairlly quickly became "for babies".

I feel like they're severely overestimating how much grown kids care about this. I was 7-8 when the "original" series debuted—and yeah, I was pretty into it. But nothing became lamer to be into than Power Rangers while in elementary school. I can't speak for the previous generation who was into GI Joe and Ninja…

Yay. Supergirl and Mon-El are back together, despite Kara having every good reason from every angle to dump him. Thank god she finally (a few hours later in their timeline) forgave him for LYING. He only lied about being a despot who committed who-knows-what sick atrocities, and has spent his redemptive time mostly…

Why? Why has this show become the Mon-El Hour? Why do they think we like him? Why do they think we must surly want more, more, MORE Mon-El? I just don't know what the writers are thinking. "Okay, so so we introduce this guy who is a horrible d-bag…and every step of the way, he just proves to be more and more of a…

Not too surprising, considering Arthur has had a recurring Asperger character for a few years now. And good for Arthur! They've also tackled the likes of cancer, depression, dyslexia, bullying, cyber bullying, bedwetting, adoption, peanut allergies…really, Arthur is probably more informed and progressive than your…
