Monsters with and without bras. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Bottom line – I was shocked by how much fun I had watching Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I’ve never played the game, although I’ve been told I’d be a natural at it (now accepting invites to any and all existing campaigns), andContinue reading “2023 TV & Movie Reviews: Dungeons & Dragons / MILF Manor/ Swarm / South Park”

John Wick is back and it’s so much John Wick, he gets his own article. I remember seeing the trailer for the original John Wick in summer of 2014 and thinking, “This looks really stupid.” I wasn’t a huge Keanu Reeves fan and the movie looked like nothing more than a guns-instead-of-swords variation of hisContinue reading “John Wick: Chapter 4 review”

I haven’t been writing as much this month as I have been for the past year or so. I could say I’ve been really busy with my different comedy and performance related obligations as well as work, and technically I wouldn’t be lying, but that isn’t the complete truth. The truth is after this longContinue reading “Stuff I Watched in March”

Boxing, stabbing, bullshit and mushroom zombies. The Last of Us My current roommate and three of my former roommates were huge fans of The Last of Us on PS4, so I didn’t exactly go into HBO’s small screen adaptation ‘cold.’ However, I’ve never actually played the game myself. I don’t love video games because I’mContinue reading “2023 TV & Movie Reviews: The Last of Us / Creed III / Scream 6 / Poker Face”

Coming at you live from my sweat-soaked bed are the third annual Golden Shrimp Awards, the awards show that exists solely on my blog where I celebrate the best and worst cinematic achievements of the year. My voting body consists only of one body, a sexy body, but I am attempting to diversify. If you’dContinue reading “3rd Annual Golden Shrimp Awards”

Cocky chefs, cocaine bears, Korean orphans and whatever the fuck a Skinamarink is. Cocaine Bear I have to be honest when I say that I wasn’t expecting much from Elizabeth Banks‘ Cocaine Bear, a movie I’ve seen so much marketing material for in the past five months that I’ve felt like my head was goingContinue reading “2023 TV & Movie Reviews: Cocaine Bear / Return to Seoul / Pressure Cooker / Skinamarink”

Bad parents, brave women and small men. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania I can’t remember the last time I was so indifferent towards a movie. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania certainly isn’t terrible, but it’s a far cry from the best Marvel offerings, and I think Marvel fatigue is really starting to set in forContinue reading “2023 Movie Reviews: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania / She Said / Speak No Evil”

A little late for Valentine’s Day, but here ya go. Magic Mike’s Last Dance For the longest time I thoughtlessly dismissed Magic Mike as mindless garbage for horny mothers and a co-worker I had a huge crush on at Walmart. The original was released during my junior year of ASU and while it was smackContinue reading “2023 Movie Review: Magic Mike’s Last Dance”

Home invasions, space ghosts, alcoholism and meeting the parents. Really stressful movie week. Knock at the Cabin Good or bad, great or terrible, I’m always first in line to see the new M. Night Shyamalan movie, who seems to have finally crawled out of his “possibly the worst filmmaker in America” status he seemed soContinue reading “2023 Movie Reviews: Knock at the Cabin / You People / To Leslie / Amityville in Space”

Kidnapped, cloned, murdered and lost. Missing As far as laptop thrillers go, Missing is cream of the crop I guess. I don’t really know if that’s what to call it, I would say “Zoom Moovie” but this doesn’t take place solely over a video conferencing app. Everything is seen through our young heroine’s laptop screenContinue reading “2023 TV & Movie Reviews: Missing / Infinity Pool / All Quiet on the Western Front / From”
