“Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle.” –Jon Snow to Arya Stark before parting ways This is a blog post about events in the HBO show, Game of Thrones. If you don’t want it spoiled for you, slowly back away now. There are few constants in this world. One I think we can…
Halloween is upon us and I don’t give a flying witch’s ass. I hate haunted houses. They are dark and I’m clumsy. I hate people and these people get all up in your face like it’s their job or something. I hate carving pumpkins. Where is the fun in this? You think it’s going to…
Dinner with the Twelfth Doctor (Who?) Num-ber 12! Num-ber 12! Num-ber 12! While we’re all deeply sad to lose Matt Smith, the amazingly energetic, intimate and raggedy incarnation of the doctor, I think it’s safe to say we’re all pretty damn excited for Peter Capaldi. It’s exciting ANY time we get a new Doctor, but…
Last week, in anticipation of the Game of Thrones season four premiere, I brought you A Feast of Ice which featured foods from the north. Bake the Black, a steak and peppered bacon pie that would warm your bones after a night of guarding the wall, Dire Wolf Puppy Chow to keep in your pack…
Every time I’m really into a show and the season ends I feel like I’m going to DIE before the next one starts. It’s always so fucking long between seasons and seasons are just far too short. I know that’s not necessarily fair. Especially when it comes to Game of Thrones. Each episode is like…

Life is busy as shit. I know I’m not the only one. I can barely keep up and I don’t have things like kids or a yard. That’s how I know that you guys are all just like me (or worse). You have “your shows” and you don’t watch them. No matter how much you…
You guys. You’re watching this, right? Rick and Morty on Adult Swim? It’s fucking brilliant. It’s the brainchild of Dan Harmon (I love Community) and Justin Roiland (I love Lemongrab) and airs on Monday nights at 10:30pm. It just started in December and it has skyrocketed to the top of my favorite shows list. The…
Holy Shit Snacks! The new season of Archer premiered two weeks ago on FX. The show is taking a huge detour from what we’re used to and surprisingly, it’s not a suckfest. I was concerned that leaving the spy agency aspect of the show would be a mistake, but it doesn’t feel forced and is…
Editor’s Note: Below is the column as it appeared on HoboTrashcan.com. I don’t know why this movie is so god damned polarizing. But I guess that’s because I’m completely on one side of the argument. I love A Christmas Story. It puts me in the mood for the holidays every year. Not that it takes much for…
John Hughes. Genius voice of a generation. (Not Kanye.) He made two of the most quintessential holiday movies of our annual repertoire. Planes, Trains and Automobiles for Thanksgiving and Home Alone for Christmas. I watch them every year, and chances are, you do too. I’ve already put in Planes, Trains and Automobiles this year. And…
