‘History Of The World’ Series Hits And Misses But Never Feels Like Mel Brooks

Every now and then, a TV show will slyly make you think a show is about one thing but it’s not about that. Back in 1985, there was the George Burns Comedy Week, an anthology series which was hosted by Burns but it didn’t really really have him in it. Then, there was The DickContinue reading “‘History Of The World’ Series Hits And Misses But Never Feels Like Mel Brooks”

Oscar Haters Are Showing Their True Colors And It’s Very Embarrassing

The Academy Awards have implemented a new rule. White perfomers, especially women, aren’t allowed to win whenver a black actor is nominated. Ok, that’s not a rule. But that seems to be the discourse that has been around the world for the last few days. I had my money on Angela Bassett. She’s a greatContinue reading “Oscar Haters Are Showing Their True Colors And It’s Very Embarrassing”

Oscar Predictions – Who Gets The Gold?

While the Oscars have lately become the whipping boy for a lot of the public, people still tune in. Some people look at the infamous “Oscar Slap” in which Will Smith walked on stage to slap Chris Rock after he made a joke that upset Jada Pinkett Smith as a staged event to beef upContinue reading “Oscar Predictions – Who Gets The Gold?”

To Err Is Human; To Forgive Is Divine, But Is There A Double Standard?

At the recent Screen Actors Guild Awards Show, Mark Wahlberg was the presenter for the Cast in a Motion Picture. The winner was the cast of Everything Everywhere All At Once, a movie consisting of mostly southeast Asian ancestry.

‘M*A*S*H’ Said Goodbye In A Broadcast That’ll Probably Never Happen Again

When you think about the “classic” TV shows, it’s puzzling how many of them didn’t air too long. The original Battlestar Galactica only ran for one season. So did The Honeymooners, even though it broadcast 39 episodes. The original Star Trek ran for just three seasons. According to Jim ran for eight seasons. Think aboutContinue reading “‘M*A*S*H’ Said Goodbye In A Broadcast That’ll Probably Never Happen Again”

‘Amerika’ Over 14 Hours Of Right-Wing Propaganda Signifying Nothing

I guess it was the Soviet Unions invasion of Afghanistan, the overflow of the 1970s political turmoila paranoia along with the fact that Ronald Reagan was elected President that many filmmakers felt the Soviet Union would one day destroy America. It was highly reflected in the entertainment of the era even though when Stalin andContinue reading “‘Amerika’ Over 14 Hours Of Right-Wing Propaganda Signifying Nothing”

Documentaries Expose The Sex Cult Led By Lawrence Ray In Shocking Details

Trigger Warning: This post contains references to sexual assault and domestic abuse. Calling Lawrence Ray a cult leader might not seem appropriate for some. He wasn’t Jim Jones nor David Koresh in the number of his followers. But that may be how he was able to fly under the radar for so many years. ForContinue reading “Documentaries Expose The Sex Cult Led By Lawrence Ray In Shocking Details”

Hey, Conservatives, Chelsea Handler’s ‘Daily Show’ Skit Was A Parody

The fact that Greg Gutfeld is what passes nowadays for conservative comedy, it should come as no surprise that many didn’t get the joke from a recent Daily Show skit by guest-host Chelsea Handler. I mean, Gutfeld looks like the type of guy who knows what decibel level to tell in a crowded room toContinue reading “Hey, Conservatives, Chelsea Handler’s ‘Daily Show’ Skit Was A Parody”

‘Simpsons’ Gave Us One Of The Best Valentine’s Show Ever

I haven’t really watched The Simpsons on a regular basis for years. I grew up on it and seeing what it is now just doesn’t interested me anymore. Like Star Wars, I guess people of different ages have their own favorites during the 30-plus years. It was about 30 years ago when during the fourthContinue reading “‘Simpsons’ Gave Us One Of The Best Valentine’s Show Ever”
