We have thoughts on both Downsizing and Molly's Game. We also talk about Sinclair Broadcasting against the FCC and Sesame Street getting a $100M grant. Later we go over Lorde's melodrama in Tel Aviv as well as Ringo Starr finally getting knighted. We wrap it all up with the World Health Organization making a ruling on video game illnesses and Valve vs the kangaroo court of Australia.
Read MoreToday we venture into the world of music. 2017 was a wonderful mix of outstanding and disappointing, with some major artists dropping massive stinkers and smaller fish making their biggest waves. Here's what we were spinning/streaming the most this year.
Read MoreTV has been our window to the chaos over the course of this year, but it's also been peppered with some of the best shows we've seen in a long time. From comedies to fantasy epics, some of our favorite shows had their crowning moments in 2017. Here's a few of them.
Read MoreI love music and I love movies, so naturally Baby Driver has to be on this list. Edgar Wright’s best movie yet combines the two in dizzying, jaw-dropping ways, creating what might as well be a 90 minute music video. The movie is also surprisingly nuanced, with characters that defy their genre roles and direction that keeps up with all the beautiful chaos.
Read MoreIt's ironic that the same year we close the circus, a film comes out about its creation; but it's actually pretty good. It's everything you would expect from the circus including death-defying acts and plenty of animals on display, but most of all, it has one killer soundtrack.
Read MoreYou probably remember Jumanji, the board game that came to life and became one of the best things about your childhood (Was it though? - Ed.) Well, it's back, but this time as a video game, with a star studded cast and updated CGI. So jump back into the jungle with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart.
Read MoreWe have all our thoughts on Star Wars: The Last Jedi at length. But we have actual news coming out of ESPN and NBC reboots. There are also our thoughts on Eminem and Luke Bryan's new albums. We wrap it all up with the Steam Awards categories and mods getting paid.
Read MoreThe prospect of a new Star Wars movie every year is still kind of frightening. Yes, The Force Awakens and Rogue One are not bad films by any margin, but it's hard to imagine the quality can sustain itself for too long. But out of this monkey's paw wish gone awry has come The Last Jedi, an incredibly well-made story that both dismantles and rebuilds the saga in shocking ways.
Read MoreGrowing up is hard. Growing up with a physical deformity is unfair. However, that shouldn't stop you from having friends or living a normal life. That's the idea behind the book-turned-movie Wonder.
Read MoreIt's hard to explain why you need to see this movie, but just that you do. This film reminds me of No Country for Old Men, where it's hard to describe, but the performances drive this film that keeps you interested and invested. While the narrative may seem simple, the conclusions it brings about is a shocker.
Read MoreOne movie that seems to be sweeping the independent awards is the film Call Me By Your Name. Now, if you're looking for an art-house film that is near true to what you think that may consist of, then look no further. This subject material and style take the meaning of independent picture to its core.
Read MoreWe have three reviews for The Disaster Artist, Three Billboards, and Call Me By Your Name. We also go over the Golden Globe noms and Disney buying 21st Century Fox. Later, we go over the 2018 winners of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. Lastly, we wrap it all up with the winners from The Game Awards and PlayStation Experience news.
Read MoreThe Room is widely considered to be one of the worst films ever made. So naturally it would seem improbable that there is a film made about the creation of that disaster of a film and it's turning out surprisingly well.
Read MoreToday we take a look at the Frozen short in front of Coco. Later we talk about Terry Crews and all The Silence Breakers in Hollywood and around the country. We also talk about DMX getting into trouble with the IRS and evading takes for the past 15 years. Lastly we wrap it all up with Nintendo news on Mega Man, Pokemon Go and Mario news.
Read MoreToday we have a special 100th episode where we have nothing but good things to say about Lady Bird. We also have news about Matt Lauer and Naya Rivera. Later we have the nominations for the Grammy Awards as well as concert info on The Eagles. Finally, we wrap up the night with our EA follow up story and a Fortnite lawsuit with a 14 year old.
Read MoreAbout three-fourths of the way into the film, a character in Lady Bird claims asks the titular lead if there is a difference between love and attention. Greta Gerwig's directorial debut is so alive with detail about high school in Sacramento, California circa 2002 that the question feels answered; her love for her hometown simply flows out of the screen.
Read MorePixar is back on track with their latest feature, Coco. This fantastical adventure during Dia de la Muertos and into the land of the dead is handled with care and near perfect execution. The story and soundtrack make this family reunion story one to be remembered.
Read MoreToday we have 2 movie thoughts with last weekends box office champ Justice League and newcomer from Disney Pixar in Coco. Then we have important news from the FCC and about Net Neutrality. Later we cover the new lead singer for the Stone Temple Pilots. We wrap it all up with Black Friday video game deals and our thoughts on Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
Read MoreDC has a marvelous problem with Marvel: Their rival has set a high bar for the superhero genre the past 10 years. Building up their cinematic universe has put DC on the fast track to build their own legacy. That bring us to this week's premiere of Justice League.
Read MoreWe have thoughts on new film this week, Murder on the Orient Express, as well as news of a new Star Wars trilogy. Later we get an inside look at what Disney has to offer when its streaming service goes live. Also, we get an inside look at Taylor Swift's Reputation numbers and the end of the Vans Warped Tour. Lastly, we take a look at the nominees for Game of the Year for the Game Awards 2017.
