Royal Rumble 1992… The Participants1. The British Bulldog2. Ted … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 1992

There was a … Continue reading AP Productions: The Commission #6
I love the Royal Rumble; it’s the best. The nice thing about WWE is that no matter how bad the product is at any given moment in time, I always know there will be one match every year for which I will get super excited. Money In The Bank is fun. Oh, and I dig The Elimination Chamber, too. But the Rumble has the most … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 1988

Does Survivor Series start at 6pm EST tonight? That’s weird. Glad I did not miss any of it when I decided to see, at 5:30pm, when the Pre-Show was on.

It’s definitely near the top of the … Continue reading Survivor Series Wargames 2024 Review

It’s not very often I watch a movie that is a hair shy of being one hundred years old, but here we are, reviewing Charlie Chaplin’s 1925 classic, The Gold Rush.

Letterboxd helps because it gives me the ability to keep track of what I … Continue reading The Gold Rush Review
Bastard Son of Nelson Creed part 8 (finale) The people of Widow Springs woke up, ate breakfast, sent their children off to school and went about their daily chores.

Episode 5 Episode 5 kicks off with Buffy bringing home fried chicken. This is mundane and uninspired, and I ALMOST considered not even noting it until Willow delivered the line “I’m a breast girl”, then turned to Tara and said “But then again, you knew that”, and I laughed and laughed.
