“Hot Ones” is a fairly simple production where a celebrity sits down at a table opposite host Sean Evans and they eat ten chicken wings, each one hotter than the last. Each wing is coated in a progressively hotter sauce registering from a meager 10,000 or so on The Scoville scale, with the first wing,Continue reading “Down the YouTube Rabbit Hole- “Hot Ones””

I was *going* to list my top ten favorite kaiju but then I realized I barely know the names of ten. So I’ll just ramble on about some of them.  Probably my favorite is our pal Godzilla. The lizard god with an important message about the dangers of Atomic Warfare.  Even though I’m no GodzillaContinue reading “Kaiju. Godzilla Bless You.”

Bond #25*, No Time To Die will be released in November, probably, if COVID-19 is on the ropes by then (no idea).  Couple things: *Ever since someone pointed out that the movie’s title logo had the exact same font as the Love Boat… that’s all I see, unfortunately. *Five Bond films for Craig in 15Continue reading “What does the future hold for 007?”

We are almost at the half way of point of what would be the 2020 baseball season. The owners and the players are going back and forth, blah blah blah money, time, COVID-19 blah, blah, short season.

Although the ninth Doctor only appeared in one Series, there are some great episodes to recommend. *Note: as a nod to relate-ability, producer Russel T Davies set the majority of the ninth Doctor’s adventures on present day earth or tied the show closely to Earth and mostly steered away from alien planets. 1)Rose is theContinue reading “Doctor Who Recommendations- The Christopher Eccleston era”

I’ve mentioned before that Western Springs has a new garbage service that started this year. All in all, it seems to a better arrangement in general, as far as convenience of dumping stuff throughout the week into the two 65 gallon bins (1 regular, 1 recycling) in the garage. I’d say it’s a cheaper arrangementContinue reading “Fingers crossed that the two signs are legit”

The 1960’s on tv. As a little kid, it was hog heaven. It seemed like everything was an explosion of color and dynamic action. Night time stuff like Batman was great but there were a bunch of cartoons I was addicted to on Saturday mornings during the second half of the decade. It was anContinue reading “Toons in the Swingin’ ’60’s”

Trilogies are a tricky breed of movie convention. So many things can go wrong–and they have. Some creators don’t know when to stop (hello Sly, hello George) and they flew right past the three film mark. The crazy up and down quality levels of Rocky, Rambo and Star Wars could probably be a whole otherContinue reading “Is “Trilogy” Still A Dirty Word?”
