Why are some pilots so different than the show that we are used to and love? and most importantly, what is the greatest the TV pilot of all time? A few noteworthy things, that we have decided to be the absolute truth, is that a TV pilot needs 5 important things. * Establish Characters * Establish Stakes * Plot * Set the Stage *...

A-ha is known for their hit song "Take On Me" and the subsequent music video that was probably even more popular. What do you think? Should a-ha be considered a one hit wonder when they also had another song in the top 20 and even made a song for a James Bond movie? Listen in and see if you agree...

"Never judge a book by it's cover" as the old saying goes. Well the cover of this video game is a hard pill to swallow.

Iron Man 3 (2013) followed the massively successful Avengers (2012) - but didn't quite live up to the hype many were expecting or hoping. It is considered by some (Coldbow's Marvel Stack episode, for example) to be one of the worst films in the MCU, and not quite a great sendoff for the Iron Man trilogy. Directed by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Predator), this is the first and only Iron M...

It was the early 90's. Most kids were playing video games on the SNES or the Sega Genesis. One game came along and rocked everyone's world. That video game was even the catalyst that started rating video games like films because of its violence.
