Look, I’m as surprised as you are. I’ve never been a big fan of late night television in general or of Jimmy Kimmel specifically. I don’t dislike him as much as I dislike Fallon or Corden, but that classic talk show insincerity is still there. I also don’t think he’s that funny, and I agree
Run the Jewels is one of my favorite rap groups, and I I thought I’d rank the best tunes from their first three albums. For those unfamiliar, RTJ is technically a supergroup, as both rapper/producer El-P and rapper Killer Mike worked independently for many years before joining forces. It’s in this unholy union, known as
I’ve always liked comics. As a kid, I would go to the library’s graphic novel section, and pick out two or three that looked interesting.

Indeed, the entirety of Spider-Man Homecoming, opening this weekend, has to do the job of living up to the excellent (first two) Sam
With the release of Cars 3 this month, and the trailer for Coco coming with it, I thought it might be time to reflect on the animation studio that defined my childhood and shaped modern children’s animation. Here are my rankings of all 18 Pixar feature films, from worst to best. Or more accurately, great

This week, video game developer Ubisoft released this image. It’s a still of the villains of the newest installment of their popular action franchise Far Cry: It’s a surprising move, but one that shows an interesting trend in the politics of the series, and raises some interesting questions that don’t usually come up about blockbuster
