How Toby Keith Ruined Country-Western Music
I know we’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead but someone like Toby Keith basically brought it upon himself. I never cared for country-western music. I watched Hee Haw and my grandfather and uncle both played in bands and enjoyed the music. But it never was something I really liked. However, the greatsContinue reading “How Toby Keith Ruined Country-Western Music”
‘Monarch’ Has A Legacy Of Boredom
Sometimes a TV series, movies, or album looks better in the advertisement because the powers that be realized they had something mediocre on its hands and trying to pump it up for the public. That’s the case with Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, a 10-episode series on AppleTV+ that feels like fanfiction of the MonsterVerse ratherContinue reading “‘Monarch’ Has A Legacy Of Boredom”
Carl Weathers Went The Distance

‘Ted’ Works Best As Sitcom Parody But Still Feels A Bit Overstuffed
There was a joke on a Family Guy episode in which they did some Seth MacFarlane self-parody with the line is “Yeah, he watched TV in the 80s. We get it.” When Family Guy burst on the scene in 1999 after the Super Bowl, it reflected a growing change in movies and TV that decadeContinue reading “‘Ted’ Works Best As Sitcom Parody But Still Feels A Bit Overstuffed”
‘Still’ Is Fox’s Moving Retrospect
Every decade seems to have the handful of actors who pretty much owned the time. Jack Nicholson, along with Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro and Faye Dunaway were the actors of the 1970s. The 1990s had Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington. In the 1980s, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone were competing for the actionContinue reading “‘Still’ Is Fox’s Moving Retrospect”
