It doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense, but I sometimes get thrown off when I get an episode of the Simpsons that tackles something that feels too contemporary. I think in my mind the show belongs eternally in the 90’s, so whenever they have an episode […]
Well folks, we’ve made it through yet another week. It hasn’t been a very great week, but we’ve conquered it. Unfortunately, that streak is not going to be broken by today’s episode. Because it’s pretty rough. There are some good moments and ideas, but overall, it’s just […]
Recently my sister-in-law sent me a link to some reddit page where someone had graphed out every episode of the Simpsons, and color-coded them by their imdb rating, letting someone get a feeling of the show’s declining quality over the years. Overall the episodes stayed pretty regular, except […]
Hey, does everyone remember that episode from Season 13 called “the Blunder Years?” You know, it’s that episode where Homer goes out to a hypnotist, and he gets turned into a ten-year old boy, only to be faced with dealing with some horrible repressed fears? Well, what […]

Not every piece of media is made for every person. That’s a pretty basic idea, but something that really seems to blow people’s minds when they get so up in arms about people not liking the things that they like. But it’s completely true, and something people just […]
I’ve talked before on the site about how much I love James Bond. He’s an immensely problematic character, whose adventures can get more and more awkward to experience as society progresses. But there’s not really anything you can do about that, because it’s not like Ian Fleming […]
