Some people just won’t let Natural Selection do its job!
This is a rather stupid warning. A better one would’ve been to remember removing said hangar from your clothing before putting it on as I fell victim to that dumb move when putting on a hockey jersey in a rush, … Continue reading

You miss one meeting and you get left out of the agenda!
Definitely some very good satire! Even the craziest KKKristian knows we don’t eat babies, many Atheists are annoying and pushy Vegans since there’s more enjoyment in ruining the consumption of meat!
M3GAN: Worth Seeing…no joke
One of the best things they did to make M3GAN stand out from Child’s Play was re-edit it into a PG-13 movie because it isn’t a Horror movie, it’s an updated warning about tech and the usual bogeyman, Artificial Intelligence exceeding our … Continue reading
Seven Stages to Achieve Eternal Bliss
Welcome to the last installment of Pandemic Theater. It’s not that the COVID-19 problem is over, given the millions now coming down with it in China courtesy of their dictator Xi deciding to lift the measures. Nobody really cares and there’s … Continue reading
D&D was right, d4 is equal to a caltrop
OUCH! Discovered there were dice on the floor of my bedroom while I was getting ready for the gym. All are harmless except the pyramid-like d4. Cut through my sock and skin to give a nice painful wound. It didn’t … Continue reading
Save Yourselves!
This indie comedy was one of the Pandemic’s many victims which is a bummer. Alamo Drafthouse would’ve treated Save Yourselves! really well, especially with the pre-show snipe, alien-invasion stories go back to HG Wells. I’m grateful Hulu got the streaming rights … Continue reading
The Art of Self Defense
If this was supposed to be a Dark Comedy, they really skimped on it. Art is more accurately, a weird Drama or Thriller with a touch of Comedy. I still watched it to the conclusion waiting for the payoff which was … Continue reading
Slut in a Good Way: Worth Seeing
The message of this Quebecois comedy is the double standard between the sexes. Namely how women get labelled sluts and men are congratulated for the exact same behavior. Let me rewind to the movie. Charlotte is a teenage girl enamored … Continue reading

1994: Duckman debuts
This odd cartoon from Klasky-Csupo (most famous for making Rugrats) made its debut on USA alongside Weird Science the Series. I think USA was trying to branch out into what we would call a more general “network/channel” like TNT or (W)TBS and WGN … Continue reading
RIP Katherine Helmond
You may not recognize the name immediately, but for my generation and older, she was the clueless matriarch of the wealthy family in Soap. Younger people will probably know her as Mona from Who’s the Boss? The coolest thing Katherine did though … Continue reading

The Little Hours
I’m a 100 percent certain the Catholic Church condemned this movie but it’s 2019 so nobody gives a crap, even the majority of practicing Catholics. Those denominations which hate or skewer Catholicism wouldn’t be fans neither, thanks to the nudity. … Continue reading
Vice: Worth Seeing
Hard to believe that McKay could make a Dark Comedy about war criminal Dick Cheney but he succeeds in making his point, this horrible man was the main architect behind America’s problems abroad and at home. I’ll explain more of … Continue reading
The Happytime Murders: Just Awful
I’ll start with this, if you want to see something involving puppets acting in a raunchy manner, Team America did it better. Happytime is terribly disappointing and simultaneously boring. Somara and I already knew there was an adult-side to Jim Henson and … Continue reading
Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell
Originally I was annoyed when [adult swim] integrated non-animated shows into their programming block. The point was to showcase adult-oriented cartoons. Hell proved to me that in this case, they’re succeeding by making a live show with cartoonish elements. The short … Continue reading
Ingrid Goes West
Ingrid is a stupendous Dark Comedy that’s more than Aubrey Plaza doing her trademark psycho character long perfected with Parks & Rec and The Little Hours. To me it’s also a dig on how lame and shallow the “Instagram Famous” are. It’s what this movie … Continue reading →
