Herschel Walker released a campaign ad this past week that really doesn’t say much. As you might have heard, the Georgie Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate has a very checkered history.

‘Impeachment’ Never Does Make The Right Argument
The American Crime Story anthology series started out great with The People vs. O.J. Simpson and faultered with the still good The Assassination of Gianni Versace. However, Impeachment feels more like it was rushed into production before it was too late. It’s reported that the third season was going to focus on Hurricane Katrina andContinue reading “‘Impeachment’ Never Does Make The Right Argument”
Louise Fletcher Made Nurse Ratched One Of Cinema’s Best Villains
Mildred Ratched, the antagonist of the Oscar-winning movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest never brandishes a gun or sword. She never orders the mass killing of innocent people. She doesn’t punch, slap, kick or physically harm anyone in the movie. She rarely ever screams or yells. No, Nurse Ratched is a more menacing villain.Continue reading “Louise Fletcher Made Nurse Ratched One Of Cinema’s Best Villains”
Mike Gundy’s Rant Was Despicable (And We Need To Admit It)
Well, it’s been 15 years to the day Oklahoma State Mike Gundy showed his ass in public. That’s a saying from where I grew up in which someone acts so badly in public over something so trivial.

The irony of people upset over casting of characters in movies and TVs by women and/or BIPIOC is that many of the works are supposed to be about the minorities prevailing over oppressive forces. The controversy has hit streaming series The Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power in which Ismael Cruz Cordova, ofContinue reading “Fandom Breeds Prejudices”
Queen Elizabeth’s Death Poses Serious Questions Of Legacy
For a while it seemed Queen Elizabeth II was going to live forever. She had been on the throne for 70 years.
