This year continued the trend of producing great TV, which also continues the trend of you not having enough time to watch everything you might have wanted to. But just like last year and the year before that and the year before that, the holidays hopefully include a lot of…
No one can blame you if you didn’t get to the theater as much as you would have liked this past year. A lot of great movies came out and it’s totally forgivable if you only had the time, patience, or money to watch a handful. Maybe you only saw…
Vacations are what make work worth doing. Save up money and time off, then blow it all in one glorious holiday in a whole other part of the country, eating and drinking things you can’t get in your hometown after hiking somewhere you can’t see in your own state parks.…
This past year was a solid one for video game releases. Every major genre had respectable entries, with original ideas and sequels both coming out strong. Anyone who likes gaming in any capacity, casual, hobbyists, professionals, noobs, or any level in between, will find a lot to love in 2017’s…
Moonshine, as we know it, hasn’t been moonshine for very long. It started in England as a word to describe any work done at night by the light of the moon and wouldn’t describe illegal liquor until the late 1800s. The practice of distilling moonshine also didn’t start as a…
Podcasts are the perfect road trip accompaniment. They keep you engaged, but can provide white noise to keep you focused on the road. We tried to cast as wide a net as possible to keep you entertained on your cross-country drive, so we have some straight up entertainment, comedy, history…
If you're any type of Marvel fan, from casual who's only seen a handful of the movies to hardcore devotee who spends a week straight in theater after a release, the ensemble movie we've all been waiting for is quickly approaching. All our favorite characters are coming back for Infinity War,…
A movie’s opening credits are supposed to grab your attention in a way that guarantees you’ll sit for the rest of the movie. Some do it better than others, while still others end up being better than the movie itself. It might be because the music that accompanies is spot…
Thanksgiving dinners often live or die by the side dishes guests bring, so don’t downplay your role in the evening’s meal. We’ve been at meals where someone’s small dish of greens proves more popular than the turkey, stuffing, or mashed potatoes, and everyone leaves talking about how they need to…
Whether you read on a tablet, Kindle, or still prefer the smell of a freshly cracked paperback, finding your next book is never easy. You could never read all the new novels, biographies, or nonfiction tomes released each week, so we’re here to help. These are a handful of the…
Campfire cooking seems to be dominated by anything you can easily hold on a stick. Sometimes people bring a grate to cook some burgers, but we’ve never been camping with anything much fancier than that. We think that should change. Just because you’re sleeping on the ground, you shouldn’t have…
You might remember a video from last year that called Marvel out for its bland original soundtracks. It was a great video and really got us thinking about the movies with great scores. They draw us into the movie, turning what could be a simple piece of entertainment into a…
We love movies, obviously, but sometimes we don’t have the attention span for a feature length film. We want a self-contained story, with distinct worlds, developed characters, and complete plots that we can get in and out of in under 40 minutes (as per the Academy’s specifications). Short films are…
Scary stories are a morbid fascination we have. Every time we read a well-written one, we regret that we couldn’t get a room at Hook and Ladder 8. Yet we keep coming back for more, because for some sick reason, scary stories get our blood pumping in ways no other…
NPR’s Tiny Desk concerts are a national treasure. It’s been almost a decade since Bob Boilen starting inviting people to play behind his desk and in that time, established artists and brand new bands alike have graced the space with some of the best musical performances ever played. The bar’s…
