I’ve found myself with a real craving for fantasy stories lately. Perhaps it’s to hide from the bleak horror of reality, or perhaps it’s because I’ve been listening to a staggering amount of D&D podcasts lately, but for whatever reason I’ve been needing something a little fantastical. […]
It feels like Season 31 has reached a point of bafflement here on Lifetime of Simpsons. By and large this whole season we’ve just been given a bunch of episodes that kind of defy logic, some of the strangest and most ill-advised choices you could imagine. Which, […]
I’m going to start things off with by admitting something that often baffles and angers people. I, to my knowledge, have never seen a single episode of Mister Roger’s Neighborhood. I’m not quite sure why, but I don’t remember ever having that show be a presence in my life, […]
