TV's Stupidest Classic Shows (List)
In a medium as dumbed down as television is, it’s hard to go lower. But, TV does keep trying. Cable makes broadcast TV better, but, now and then, something truly stupid makes it through. For some reason, the 60s, 70s, and 80s were the Golden Years of Dumb TV. To prove it, look at the ratings. Most of these shows were hits...

The Last Person to Finish 'Stranger Things' Series 3 Speaks (Spoiler Review). Top Story - July 2019.
In an age where a new streaming service pops up out of nowhere sooner than you can fart twice, (nice, I just found a wild Disney+ up my arse!) it’s hard to find any media property that has enough cultural recognition, popularity, and pulling power—yeah, they’re basically all the same thing, but I was hoping you wouldn’t notice—to draw in enough people for a half decent "water cooler" conversation. However, the Duffer brothers’ smash hit Stranger Things has been a delight for me in that respect, even topping The Fantasy Show That Shall Not Be Named for viewership numbers and excitement levels amongst my little group of young adult peers. Nonetheless, the buzz for the Duffers’ show was not limited to just my friends. The official figures reveal that Stranger Things’ third series was Netflix’s most viewed "thing" ever within a four day time frame. This really begs the question: Why in the Upside-Down is this derivative, predictable, 80s nostalgia fest so Demodog-damn popular?

Deadly Dispatch is a title so remarkably dull that I struggle to remember it. It's a title so banal that it is actually befitting of this movie, which, aside from star Tamala Jones, is an utterly banal exercise in TV movie dramatics. The story is witless and the delivery barely rises above the level of a reenactment from an episode of Forensic Files.

Late Review: 'Samurai Champloo'
Anime, anime, anime. Some people can't get enough of it. Some people don't understand it. Whatever your stance on anime is, any fan of film and television can tell you that anime has some way found its way into their television screens at some point.

Review of 'Stranger Things' 3
An excellent third season of Stranger Things—in fact, my favorite of the three so far—which couldn't be more timely in this age of Trump and Putin. In the 1980s, the Russians were the Soviets, but they occupy the same place in Western popular culture—adversaries—and so they make great villains along with the monsters that the breakthroughs to the other dimension engender.
