Jack White – Boarding House Reach released March 23, 2018 ******* 9/10 John Anthony White, better known…
This should be a fairly straightforward post. I’ve already written a fairly in-depth review on the movie The Shape of Water – and I made my love of the film known pretty clearly there. But too be perfectly honest, Chris doesn’t care for the movie, and I value his opinion a lot, so we decided…
Join us for a very special film review on this week’s episode of Watch Culture. I say this because I’m about to drop some knowledge on why The Shape of Water holds a special place in my heart, so much so that I’ll also be running a deep dive on Cross Talk with Chris later…

People pay for expertise, and so…
There are things in life which are pure, which are simple and straightforward, and often it isn’t until we’ve had some time away from them that we truly appreciate how invaluable they are. That’s how I feel looking back at The Friendly Giant, something I love as a young boy. I now have a stepson…
To quote from The Big Lebowski, one of my comedy dramas of all-time – Sometimes there’s a man… I won’t say a hero, ’cause, what’s a hero? But sometimes, there’s a man. And I’m talkin’ about the Dude here. Sometimes, there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place. He fits right…
