‘The Woman In Me’ Is Britney’s Reclamation Of Her Life

I never understood why so many people hated Britney Spears. It’s been about 25 years since I first saw her in her first hit “Baby One More Time.” She seemed like a sweet, talented young woman. But it didn’t take long for so many people to despise her. I’m not saying, they just didn’t likeContinue reading “‘The Woman In Me’ Is Britney’s Reclamation Of Her Life”

‘Baby Reindeer’ Examines Realities Of Stalking And Cyber Harassment

If there ever was an example of the phrase, “No good deed goes unpunished,” then Donny Dunn and his experiences are a testament to that. Donny (Richard Gadd) is a bartender and aspiring comic in the London area who does one simple thing for a person having a bad day only to have it snowballContinue reading “‘Baby Reindeer’ Examines Realities Of Stalking And Cyber Harassment”

Harrison Butker’s Speech Is An Example Of Problems In America

By now, there’s been so much said about Harrison Butker’s speech at Benedictine College on May 11 that what else can be said. Well, one thing people really haven’t mentioned is that it emphasizes how athletics is more loved and appreciated than academics. Imagine the gall of someone who is just a kicker for aContinue reading “Harrison Butker’s Speech Is An Example Of Problems In America”

RIP Dabney Coleman

One of the earliest movies I remember seeing is 9 to 5, so I had known who Dabney Coleman was for a long time. His performance as the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot Frank Hart in the movie was so perfect. Coleman was able to balance the awful, cold-hearted sleaze with the sardonic, goofy, gullibleContinue reading “RIP Dabney Coleman”

‘Katt Williams: Woke Foke’ Moves At The Pace Of A Slow Poke

Earlier this year, comic-actor Katt Williams became a viral sensation when he spilled a lot of tea on a Club Shay Shay, a weekly podcast hosted by Shannon Sharpe. Williams went after other comics, Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer, with the rawness that comics like Bill Hicks, Sam Kinison, George Carlin and Richard PryorContinue reading “‘Katt Williams: Woke Foke’ Moves At The Pace Of A Slow Poke”

Roger Corman Was The John The Baptist Of American Cinema

In the mid-1970s, Ron Howard was attempting to make a name for himself as a movie director after he had grown up over the years as a child actor. For a man who had appeared on two popular TV shows, been in the Oscar-nominated American Graffiti and even co-starred alongside The Duke himself John WayneContinue reading “Roger Corman Was The John The Baptist Of American Cinema”

Tom Brady Roast Is Overdone

I was and probably will never be a fan of Tom Brady. I get it. He was the 199th person selected during the sixth draft pick. It’s the type of underdog story most people make movies about especially how Brady went on to win seven Super Bowl rings, six of which with the New EnglandContinue reading “Tom Brady Roast Is Overdone”

Do People Know What And Why They Are Protesting?

I’ve been kinda silent on the protests happening on college campus mainly because the whole Israeli-Palestine deal has been basically “Same Shit Different Day” for months. You can be both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine at the same time as long as you’re anti-Hamas and anti-Benjamin Netanyahu on the matter. I’m almost certain some Israeli are fedContinue reading “Do People Know What And Why They Are Protesting?”
