We’re still here. Somehow. 2020 has been kicking all of our asses and we’re still only in the 4th round. Each month feels like it’s own year. It’s been a month since the last Insanity Check and so much has changed. Bernie Sanders is not only out of the race for the Democratic Nomination but he quickly endorsed Joe Biden, the US leads in Coronavirus cases AND Deaths (USA,&#1...

What a difference a month makes. Joe Biden goes from dead in the water in the Democratic Primary to being the Presumptive Nominee, the Coronavirus pandemic has whole states on quarantine and locusts….yes…locusts. Don’t know who the writers are for this finale season of ‘Earth’ but it’s beginning to be a bit unbelievable and lose the plot here. Need them to get t...

Happy Black History Month everyone! This month Kriss is back with a new episode of the Insanity Check with guest Tim (@Peoplescrtic).

Instead Kriss is saying “Happy Black History Month” with a few r...

We’re starting 2020 off with the beginning of the end for the Insanity Check. Kriss will be doing one Insanity Check a month leading up to December being the last regularly scheduled Insanity Check.

It’s amazing ho...

New Insanity Check episode! After a bit of a delay due to the Toronto Film Festival, Kriss is back with guest Justin to talk about all the crazy things that have happened in the world. The most important thing that’s happen though is: Popeyes ran out of chicken sandwiches. But never fear, they have a solution for all of you just dying to have that sandwhich: BYOB. Bring. Your. Own. Bun. Yeah...

Kriss is back with another episode of the Insanity Check to cover this week’s dose of insanity in the world. This week he’s joined by Tim (@Peoplescrtic). With all the terrible in the world we start off with some lighter stuff: The Mouse Takes Over the World. Disney has a steal of a Disney+ bundle and is killing it at the box-office this year. So much for the idea that people don&#8217...

After a bit of a hiatus, Kriss is back with the Insanity Check. Between work and San Diego Comic-Con, we had to take most of July off.

Sorry for the delay but the Insanity Check is back this week. I’d like to have some solid excuse as to why I didn’t do a show last week but the simple answer is: The world sucks and it was nice to just take a break from it all. But I’m back.
