The Top 10 Controversial Cast Members Of 'My 600-lb Life'
When you tune into an episode of TLC's My 600-lb Life, you know you're in for a journey. A show centered around weight loss is no doubt going to be full of drama, hard work, and inspirational stories. But some of the stories we've gotten over 10 seasons have been a bit crazier and more dramatic than others.

Marielle SabbagPublished about a year ago in GeeksArcane overview - finally a great video game adaptation!
For years and years, video game adaptations were a bit of a laughingstock. For one thing, people didn't really take the games seriously, thinking that they were only for children. The image of an adult gamer only stepped out of the territory of mockery very recently. Back in the '90s gaming was considered childish. Just think of everyone's favourite sitcom from the era, Friends: on more than one occasion the characters pretended not to play video games in fear of looking immature. While Friends by no means can be considered as truthful documentation of the era (how did they afford those apartments? why weren’t any people of colour in New York City?), it still reflected it. The way Chandler and Ross, on different occasions, pretended not to like video games, and even the forgiving laugh they got when they actually played, show that being a gamer was considered a quirky way to keep your inner child going, at best.
John H. KnightPublished about a year ago in GeeksMy Review of "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!"
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! came out back in 1988. I remember having fun with this movie back in the day but I didn't appreciate it. A lot of the jokes were way over my head when I was younger and as an adult now I can appreciate some of the fun they were having. That's not to say that this is that raunchy of a film. There are certain scenes not suitable for children however the material is quite tame compared to today's standards.
Brian AnonymousPublished about a year ago in GeeksVillainess Review: Jennifer O'Brien (Supernatural)
The eighth season of Supernatural was quite a crazy one; for one, it was coming off Dean and Castiel ending up in Purgatory after eliminating Dick Roman (couldn't stand those damn Leviathans). While they do emerge in Season Eight, the home stretch of the season has Sam going through trials in a quest to keep all demons locked in Hell permanently. So this was quite a big year for Team Winchester, but that didn't mean we wouldn't see some wonderful one-off cases during this wild season.

Ayush VermaPublished about a year ago in GeeksEnola Holmes 2 Review
After what seems like a two-year wait, Netflix has finally released Enola Holmes Part 2, directed by Harry Bredbeer. Before watching this sequel, definitely watch its first part in case you have not seen it. The best thing I felt Netflix brought was both of these films in Hindi, and I personally like to enjoy movies or series in Hindi only.
Ayush VermaPublished about a year ago in GeeksVillainess Review: Wendy Bouchard (Fatal Family Reunion)
I was quite elated when I learned that this film, Fatal Family Reunion, would hit Lifetime Movie Network on Thanksgiving weekend, which has featured its share of amazing thrillers over the years. Another classic from Marvista, I learned about this film on their site a few months ago, and of course, it comes just two weeks after we were treated to one amazing villainess, and regarding this film, it also delivered.
Clyde E. DawkinsPublished about a year ago in GeeksMy Review of "Nope"
Nope was a hotly anticipated movie of 2022. It surprises me that it took me this long to see it. I'm not really big into horror movies so that could be a reason why I tip toed around it but I finally got a chance to see it. Boy was I in for a surprise and in all the right ways. What I saw from the trailers misdirected me. I thought this movie was going to go into a totally different direction.
