The first weekend of June is here and I’m taking my kids to a fun little music festival today. Biking, beer, live music, good food. Should be a lively good time. It’s stuff like this that I miss when summer ends…

When I went to Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse yesterday, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s been five years since the wonderful Into The Spider-Verse came out, and that movie totally blew my mind. But five years and a pandemic later,…
The crazy thing about this week’s streaming guide isn’t what’s new, but what’s over. For weeks now I’ve posted about Yellowjackets, Succession and Barry and all three of those shows wrapped up their seasons last weekend. The second two wrapped up…

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse swings into theaters today. The long-awaited sequel to Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is scoring big with critics, and will likely fare well with moviegoers as well given how popular the first film was. I’ll have my own…
I’ve always been a big fan of Insomniac’s colorful Ratchet & Clank games. Fun platforming, a massive arsenal of creative guns and great characters exploring an exciting universe of danger, adventure and silly humor. What more could you want? Well, up…

We have arrived at the very last day of May. June is knocking at the gates. Pride Month. My birth month. The last month of Spring and the first month of Summer. I was trying to remember the Mother Goose rhyme…
Updated 5/29/23 with a review below. Turns out I actually really liked this movie! Something fishy is going on with The Little Mermaid’s Rotten Tomato user reviews. I fully expected this movie to fare better with critics than with audiences given…
Well, you can almost see June from here, folks. May is on its last legs. Summer officially starts in just three weeks, though it feels like summer already to me. I was thinking about the names of the months the other…
Season 2 of From has been a bit of a mixed bag, with a strong start to the season tapering off into three much slower, more frustrating episodes. Last week’s was particularly vexing, with most of the episode devoted to various…
Lazy Sunday has arrived. The first lazy Sunday of summer. I was feeling pretty lazy on Saturday so I’m going to be a bit more proactive today. I have a lot to get done, as always. No rest for the wicked.…
I’ve thought long and hard about all the ways Yellowjackets went wrong in its second season. I’ve laid out a number of the problems with the show leading up to the finale, and then wrote a pretty scathing review of that…
Assassin’s Creed Mirage aims to take players back to the series’ roots both in its gameplay and setting. We’re back to the Middle East, exploring 9th-century Baghdad as hooded assassin, Basim, in a story that takes place 20 years prior to…

It’s the first Saturday of summer break. The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. The kids are free. It’s also a big weekend for the TV shows I’m following. Yellowjackets just wrapped up its second season with a truly terrible…
I’m running out of patience with Fear The Walking Dead in its final season. Sure, I’ve thought this show was garbage since partway through Season 4, but the fact that they haven’t learned or made any changes to improve things in…
See Coach Ben’s face in the image above? This is how I feel after watching the Yellowjackets Season 2 finale. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve felt this upset over a TV show. A long time since something went…
I asked ChatGPT to write an introdcution to a Wordle post just for fun and here’s what it kicked out: Welcome, word enthusiasts and puzzle aficionados! Prepare to embark on a captivating journey into the fascinating world of Wordle, the sensational…
The streaming party is coming to an end and the streaming hangover is only just beginning. It’s going to be . . . painful. We’ve seen the early stages of this hangover in action. The Time Warner Discovery merger led to…
Wednesday is back and that means it’s time for Wordle Wednesday! Every week I set aside a couple special days to spice this column up. On Wednesdays, I post a riddle for Wordlers to solve and I post the answer on…
It’s Tuesday, May 23rd and we’re here to solve this Wordle, but I thought it would be interesting to look back in time at some of the big, important historical events that took place on this day throughout history. It turns…
Lazy Sunday is here at last as we wind down what is—at least in my neck of the woods—the final weekend of the school semester. A few more throwaway days of easy breezy classes where everyone—from teachers to students to staff—have…
Today’s Google Doodle is a celebration of Lake Xochimilco, a natural lake near Mexico City that also happens to be the last remaining habitat for the axolotls—a species related to the salamander. These little guys are actually super adorable, and often…
In 2011, two major fantasy novels were released. The more famous of the two was A Dance With Dragons by George R.R. Martin, the fifth (and last to be published) volume in his A Song Of Ice And Fire series. The…
Squid Game returns to Netflix this year, though there will be no murders this time around. That’s because Squid Game: The Challenge is a reality show spinoff of the hit Korean dystopian drama where 456 contestants compete in various non-lethal games…
Another Thor’s Day, another Wordle! I thought today we’d see what interesting, important and noteworthy things have taken place on the 18th of May over the course of history. After all, we need to know our history or we’ll be doomed…
Hey, it’s Tuesday! Nothing ever really happens on Tuesdays. Tuesdays are a day lost in time, buried between other more eventful days. In fact, I’m feeling so unenthusiastic about today that I’m going to skip this preamble section altogether and go…
