It’s August 16th and This Week at the Movies, my wife is back to help me give as spoiler-free thoughts as we can on ALIEN: ROMULUS, SKINCARE, and STRANGE DARLING. I think we did well in not giving away plot details, but we did get into some broader discussion about the movie industry in the wake of our movie chat. Plus, a peek at a few other titles on deck for this week that you may want to keep a...

It's another week and there are plenty of movies to dive into. I am still playing catch-up with 2023 films to get myself ready for the Sheist Awards. I am feeling more prepared now since I was able to check a lot of things off the 2023 list such as Blue Jean, Rustin, Priscilla, and several others. So, put your feet up and hang out with me for a new edition of "This Week at the Movies". Thanks to e...

It's time to get back in the groove. I see a lot of movies but have less time to write about them as a result. So, I'm taking some of the spirit of the Release Radar that I do on the website and bringing that to the podcast. It's going to be an evolving experience as I pin down exactly what and how I want to do it, but this felt like a good place to start. Please enjoy. Thanks to everyone who took...

The Steelers cashed in a W and held the under by a half-point, but I narrowly missed the trifecta as the Titans couldn't cover the 3 points in a 20-16 loss on the road. I recap that Thursday game and get into what turned out to be a lot of upset picks after a 14-2 mark last week. Here's hoping.

Christen isn't feeling well, so I was flying solo on this one but she also tends to do better in our picks league when she doesn't join me for the show. So, I recapped the completely lackluster and underwhelming Thursday Night Football game between the Chiefs and Broncos and went through all the rest of the games on the Week 6 slate. Also got Rids' picks in this time. Enjoy. Thanks to everyone who...

Christen and I are trying to recover from a super-mid week of going 8-8, and I am trying to recover from having very little sleep. So, I think my picks will be amazing or disastrous. Either way, it's going to be fun and we came it at less than 45 minutes! Thanks to everyone who took the time to listen to the episode.

It's that time of year again! There are a lot of politics involved in the Awards season and it gets exhausting. That's why I started doing my own thing six years ago. So, if you are looking for a recap of the Best of 2022 without the peripherals, you've come to the right place! Thank you!

It's the Super Bowl!! And it's in Arizona despite me forgetting that and lumping it in with the Pro Bowl festivities in Vegas. Join us as we talk about the many story angles, the historic first, clones, prop bets, and more on our final episode of the 2022-23 season.

Mourning the lack of my Bills while talking about the upcoming NFL Conference Championship games. The combined spread for both games was only 4pts total last I checked, so we should be in for some close battles.

The Bills' season came to a disappointing end at the hands of the Bengals 27-10 in the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs on Sunday. What the Bills organization decides to do next remains to be season.

Running down all the matchups in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs and having fun along the way. Go Bills!

The Bills survived a close call with the Dolphins and hung on to win 34-31, earning them a matchup with the defending AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals next week in Buffalo.
