Every pitcher in the ‘90s over the age of 30 looked like Gary Busey in “Rookie of the Year.”

‘Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning’ showcases the worst and best of the franchise Invoking Dickensian prose to sum up the eighth entry of an action franchise led by Tom Cruise might seem an odd choice, but little describes “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning” better than …

I meant to post this earlier but the entity intervened and I had to trap it in a Mason jar

The problem with this whole TACO tariff thing is — it makes me hungry

I would love to see Nathan question the team about why they are called the Impossible Mission Force when every mission ends up being possible

Hey Apple, maybe I’ll decide when I’ve exceeded the recommended limit for audio exposure. YOU’RE NOT MY DAD

After my Cavs rolled out “The Diff,” the bar was set pretty low

‘Friendship’ lives in the horror of Tim Robinson in the real world “Men shouldn’t have friends” is the tagline of Andrew DeYoung’s debut film “Friendship.” What is made clear is that men as deranged and unbalanced as Craig Waterman — portrayed by Tim Robinson with…

With A24 popping up in the opening credits and the beautiful, dynamic photography of Andrew Rydzewski, it wouldn’t be a stretch to think you were in for the comedy equivalent of “elevated horror.” You might get as far as the first signature Robinson freakout before realizing it’s certainly not.

Oooh this might just get me through my afternoon lull

Nicolas Cage rides yet another visionary’s wave in ‘The Surfer’ “Before you can surf, you must suffer.” Director Lorcan Finnegan ensures the audience does just that alongside Nicolas Cage’s titular character in “The Surfer,” a punishing but darkly funny surreal…

I wrote about my guy Nicolas Cage, and the surreal (occasionally hilarious) menace of “The Surfer.”

I was just on a HG kick the other day. Glad to see their sounds used today

Absolutely. I’m just generally interested in how the politics play out up there. I know how they usually play out here. 💀

The prioritization of private equity over public good has been a cancer in the US. I’d really like to see this.

Ah, I see.

Abbott Elementary is pretty damn good

I want to hear the debate between Bucky Barnes and whoever ran against him for that House seat.

Bucky: “My opponent supported the very policies that got us int-“

Opponent: “I’m sorry….you’re the literal WINTER SOLDIER.“

An American Pope? In THIS economy?

Glad Anthony Edwards is ok. Whatever is in the shots they give these dudes in the locker room is a medical marvel. Guys are getting limbs rippped off and then hitting a nasty step-back 20 minutes later

So true

It is good advice.

My partner’s dreams: “and then we were chased by dinosaurs — we barely escaped by jumping down a waterfall before a submarine with legs came to rescue us.”

My dreams: “I was in my college library but the walls were purple for some reason when my uncle walked in and asked me to return his hat…”

Gerard Butler’s skin deserves at least one below-the-line nomination for its work in “Den of Thieves 2: Pantera”

In my first year living in Columbus, I get a Buckeyes championship. Love these guys, love this team 🥲

I’m going to have to re-do mine in a couple months. Just way too much that hasn’t gone wide yet.

Oh I’ve been a pod addict since about 2017 feast or famine lol. But this refrain has just gotten so familiar

The number of times I’ve heard the preface “we wondered if we should do a *insert show/podcast* today, but we decided it’d be nice if things felt normal for a while” in the past 5 years is numbing

Same! That’ll be a blast

Pure erotica

The Cavs are the most fun regular season team I’ve ever watched. And I’ve experienced all of Lebron (he’s my favorite player). But the personalities, the way the ball flies around, the effort…it’s basketball utopia

My top 12 films of the year (yes, TWELVE)
