A Streetcar Named Marge

The Simpsons have, through my life, defined much of my sense of humor. So many of the things I quote or otherwise relate to come from...

John Williams (and the Olympics)

Music generally isn't a huge deal to me. I don't spend much time exploring artists or keeping up with what's popular and just kinda...

Peter Cullen

Maybe you don't know the name off-hand, but (to me at least) Peter Cullen has an immediately recognizable voice. And it's largely because...

Concerning Hobbits

If you're a fan of The Lord of the Rings and haven't seen the extended versions of the films, you should give them a watch. Though they...

5 old can't-miss movies (silent/foreign)

One day, while trying to nail down my favorite movies (future post?), I recalled a few that go way back, I've only seen once and I really...

The Winter Soldier

Probably my favorite plot arc of the entire MCU is the development of Bucky Barnes. Captain America has been my favorite Avenger since...

Mediocre movie, great scene (Batman/Vader)

There aren't many pop culture characters bigger than Batman and Darth Vader. Even if one's an all-time villain and the other the greatest...

Ted Lasso

After first seeing ads for Ted Lasso I just wasn't that interested. A show starring Jason Sudeikis, about soccer in England, and on Apple...

Frozen

Just like Moana before it, our (first) son is currently completely obsessed with Frozen. It's the songs, mostly, though the full movies...

1917

My wife and I finally watched 1917 last weekend and I can't stop thinking about it. If not already apparent I like writing about...

Without Remorse

I read a lot as a kid, certainly more than I do now. In 8th and 9th grade I crushed most of the then-current main Tom Clancy novels....

WandaVision

I'm a big fan of Marvel and the MCU, even if I've never been into actual comic books, and they've been just about the only movies my wife...

A Knight's Tale

I can't help myself. After reading and writing about the Hundred Years War and the Black Prince I was always going to watch A Knight's...

Fantastic Mr. Fox

I don't know why I ever doubt Wes Anderson. Though, maybe 'doubt' isn't the right word. For whatever reason I always hesitate after...

The Crown s4

The Crown is a Netflix made, lavishly produced, phenomenally acted look at the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II. It's pretty crazy...

The Mandalorian theme

The Mandalorian season two resumed late this year (my thoughts from s1) without missing a beat, and keeps getting better and better. I'm...

Muppet Christmas Carol

Christmas movies aren't a must-do thing for me. Still, every year we see a number of them. Elf (2003) and White Christmas (1954) are my...

To give the Covenant back their bomb

As happens periodically, I'm drawn to play through the old Halo campaigns. It'd been years since attempting Halo 2 Legendary and I hadn't...

King Connery

Sean Connery, probably my absolute favorite actor, died a few weeks ago. There's something fitting about it all ending in the Bahamas....

Artemis and angst

Recently I watched Hotel Artemis, currently available on Prime. Set in Los Angeles in the near future, the city is crumbling and burning...
