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”

‘The Stand’ Doesn’t Deliver As Well 30 Years Later
The Stand may be Stephen King’s best novel according to all of his fans and critics. The novel was published so early in his career as a published novelist that such a massive book could’ve very easily ended his career if it wasn’t so well-received. Set mostly in an apocalyptic world where a superflu calledContinue reading “‘The Stand’ Doesn’t Deliver As Well 30 Years Later”
‘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”
‘Elsbeth’ Is The Show To Watch
Ok, so your dad is probably about ready to cancel Paramount Plus now that CBS has canceled CSI: Vegas and Blue Bloods. But have no fear, I’m sure as Tom Selleck hopes that Blue Bloods: The Next Generation or whatever it’s going to be called is set for next year or whatever. I mean, CriminalContinue reading “‘Elsbeth’ Is The Show To Watch”
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”

In the two months that Dune Part Two has been released, it’s grossed over $700 million worldwide. There’s even plans to make a third Dune movie which will be an adaptation of Dune Messiah. Forty years after the unfortunate David Lynch adaptation in 1984, it seems everything has been forgotten and forgiven.

‘The Truth vs. Alex Jones’ Sets The Story Straight As An Arrow
I was at the news company’s Christmas luncheon when word spread of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. I was sitting in the lobby of the dorm at Georgia Southern University when I heard of the massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo. These two incidents alone should’ve caused aContinue reading “‘The Truth vs. Alex Jones’ Sets The Story Straight As An Arrow”
Geraldo’s Goof On Live TV
On this date, April 21, 1986, about 30 million viewers tuned in to see one of the biggest anti-climatic events in TV history. Geraldo Rivera had made a name for himself in the 1970s when he exposed the harsh conditions at the Willowbrook State Hospital in the Staten Island borough of New York City. ButContinue reading “Geraldo’s Goof On Live TV”
Why We Love Dystopia Entertainment
What is it about dystopia that fascinates us? Why do we like stories portraying the end of civilization as we know and even the end of the world. Even The Bible ends with the world coming to an end? It’s like we’re too busy worried about showing how much of an awful future we’ll haveContinue reading “Why We Love Dystopia Entertainment”
‘Tulsa King’ Allegations Represent A Universal Workplace Issue
This past week, the production of the TV show Tulsa King, which is filming in Georgia instead of Oklahoma, has faced allegations that its star Sylvester Stallone and director Craig Zisk were upset over the appearance of the background extras. Reportedly, they didn’t like that one actor was using a cane. And Stallone has beenContinue reading “‘Tulsa King’ Allegations Represent A Universal Workplace Issue”
