‘Fit For TV’ Gets The Skinny On ‘The Biggest Loser’

I watched about five minutes of The Biggest Loser during its entire run. I forgot when it was but I noticed that awful person Jillian Micheals with her flaring nostrils and bitchy attitude was berating an obese woman doing a dangerous exercise even for fit people.

I remember waking up on Aug. 31, 1997 to the news that Diana Spencer, aka Princess Diana, had been killing in a car wreck in Paris.

But his 2023 movie Thanksgiving was a great ode to the 1980s slasher craze with some social commentaryContinue reading “Ah, Shucks For ‘Clown In A Cornfield’”

We Can Do Better Than This

I was briefly watching a Q&A between Charlie Kirk and a young woman who says she is a Democrat and a Christian. She quoted the Bible about Jesus feeding the needy in the Book of Matthew. Of course, Kirk had a way to spin it to make it sound like starving children and lower-income peopleContinue reading “We Can Do Better Than This”
