Not every show that gets made is good. That’s understandable. There are a lot of hack writers willing to team up with money grubbing studios and some bad TV is destined to come from that. Mudding up art with greed is always bad. What’s worse is when every member of…
Obviously Rotten Tomatoes can’t get it right every time and that idea swings the other way as well. Sometimes movies come out and kill it on the Tomatometer, and we don’t understand why. That’s not to say we didn’t like the movie, because we often did. We just didn’t think…
People have been dreaming about being able to fly themselves places without an airplane since someone invented the hot air balloon. So even before the airplane. We understand why, as we’re sure you do. Flying looks like a hell of a good time as long as you don’t have to…
One day it occurred to us that ice cream makers exist, yet we keep spending tons of money on ever shrinking cartons at the grocery store. Frankly, that’s some absurd behavior. We decided to end it, or at least drastically cut back. From now on, you can consider us official…
Not hanging out outside during the summer would be like not putting the top down on a convertible (coincidentally, also in the summer). It’s the whole point of the thing, so do it. Unless you’re plagued by mosquitoes. In which case, we recommend a citronella candle. It’ll be hard to…
We didn’t know George R.R. Martin had ideas besides Game of Thrones. We figured it takes him so long to write those, he’d never have time to create something else. Yet here we are, getting closer and closer to the release of Nightflyers. As Martin explains it himself, clearly anticipating…
Summer is established for the year, which means we absolutely don’t want to cook in our kitchens. It’s too hot in there, so we’re getting out and heating up the grill. And we don’t want to limit ourselves to the traditional stuff. Burgers are great and we’re happy to serve…
It’s been nearly 20 years since a new generation of Jimny was on the market, but it doesn’t seem like Suzuki forgot how to make them. The 2019 Jimny is still going to be a rugged, durable, capable, affordable off-roading machine. Our visual impression of the vehicle is a good…
Keep the barrel-aged stouts in your cellar and hide the barleywines in the back of the fridge. It’s summer and it’s time for something light and refreshing. But light and refreshing doesn’t have to mean bland and boring. If you’re looking for something new to drop in that cooler during…
To orient you, the Isle of Jura’s next door neighbor is Islay, off the West Coast of Scotland. You probably recognize the latter’s name if you’re at all a fan of scotch whisky. For all of the popularity Islay enjoys, we preferred our time on Jura. It’s smaller, more soft-spoken,…
We’ve probably said it before, but VR is in a weird place right now, at least for gaming. Everyone’s pretty sure they want it, but no one really knows what they want. It feels like 90 percent of the releases are those stupid gimmicky games that plagued the Wii’s entire…
While Rotten Tomatoes puts a nice succinct rating on a movie, it’s really just a conglomeration of people’s opinions. That might sound like we’re stating the obvious, but we’re always surprised at how often people forget critics are just people with opinions. So while it might seem like a pure,…
Every time a fantasy world is well-realized, people clamor to know more about it. Think about the obsessive devotion fans have to understanding the history of Middle-Earth, Westeros, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. They spend years dissecting every little thing that promises even a hint of information about…
Road trips are one of those things that are initially planned and constantly postponed. We’ve had a road trip to Nashville and/or New Orleans planned for four years now. And don’t bother pitying us. We know that’s as common among our readers as it is here in the office. That’s…
Music and movies are an obvious pairing. Both have a ton of power on their own, and when they’re used together properly, you end up with some of the most affecting memories a person carries with them. We’ve already covered what movie soundtracks keep us riveted and give us chills,…
