Donald Glover, Childish Gambino, and the Great Sigh of Relief
Some Friday in March of my senior year of high school, I was in a third floor science classroom with my five best friends, who retain that title today, and a woman I was way more into than I had any business being at 17-years old. We were skipping one of our school’s weekly assemblies […]
Spoil-Free Review: Morris From America
Morris From America is a lot of things that you’ve seen before: a coming of age story, a fish out of water tale, a love story, and a father-son story. Even though Chad Hartigan’s 2016 indie comedy is a lot of things you’ve seen before it still manages to be a unique combination of a […]
The Night Of is F***ing Incredible
Stranger Things is cute, Preacher just ended a first season that was surprisingly fun and fantastically acted, Mr. Robot is following up an incredible first season with a pretty slow start to its second, Vice Principals is an experiment that’s going pretty well so far, Power is refreshingly black and disappointingly terrible, and nothing nothing is […]
Hoity-Toity Corner: When January Feels Like Summer Review
This past Sunday I went to go see the a performance of Mosaic Theater Company’s final performance in their inaugural season When January Feels Like Summer. Besides learning that shitty racist white people have become so bored with ruining other people’s things they’ve gone to ruining their own things and are now ruining the theater […]
The Bad Movie Club: The Do-Over
Another meeting of the Bad Movie Club where I watch shit so you don’t have to—unless you want to. Netflix gets a lot of attention as the premier platform for streaming. At one point you could even watch movies on there, that’s not really the case anymore, and now that they’re cracking down on VPNs […]
Spoil-Free Review: The Nice Guys
It is rare in 2016 that a comedy is really worth seeing in theaters. In the modern studio system the comedy is one of two things, it’s a Judd Apatow-esque romantic comedy complete with loathsome characters and clique story lines. Or it’s a raunchy adult comedy designed to appeal to the most strangely coveted demographic […]

The Oscars 2016
I’m sure a lot of you have clicked on this article hoping that the angry nigga would be getting angry about the all-white nominees this year. I’m sorry to disappoint but that’s not what this article is about, it’s about pretending like I’m Roger Ebert reincarnate and talking about the last awards for anything worth […]
Top 40 LPs & EPs 2015: Top 10
The list starts here. 10. So the Flies Don’t Come- Milo Milo is a Wisconsin rapper, which sounds like a made up thing I will admit, but I liked XV when he was good and that nigga was from Kansas. So the Flies Come is produced from top to bottom by Kenny Segal who is a […]

Here we are, the big one. This year’s best LPs and EPs. I’ve spent the last couple of days going through literally dozens and dozens of albums and what seemed like thousands and thousands of tracks from this year to bring you all these lists. It is possible I missed something, it is highly unlikely. […]
