After 19 long months, U.S. Survivor finally has a new champion! Erika Casupanan has broken the streak of six male winners, also becoming the show’s first Canadian winner. And she did so in a dominating fashion, winning by way of a 7-1-0 vote over Deshawn and Xander, respectively. She may not jump off the screen […]

‘Survivor 41’ Episode 12 Recap: “Truth Kamikaze”
Back at camp after the Liana vote, the tribe decompresses after the intense Tribal Council. I can’t begin to imagine what it must have been like coming back to camp after that. It had to be exhausting, probably a little cathartic as well. We see several snippets of conversations between various players, and it’s clear […]
‘Survivor 41’ Episode 11 Recap: “Do Or Die”
There’s really only a few things to discuss from this week’s Survivor. Ricard is (at least for now) in the power position, everyone continues to forget that Xander has both an idol and an extra vote, and Danny may be getting the beginning of a winner’s edit. Danny spends a few minutes talking us through […]
‘Survivor 41’ Episode 10 Recap: “Baby With A Machine Gun”
First thing’s first, Happy Thanksgiving! With that in mind, I will try (big emphasis on “try”) to keep this week’s Survivor recap brief (relatively speaking). Get you in, get you out, get you back to family, food, and football. With that in mind, I’m going to set this up a little different than normal, and […]
KING RICHARD Review: Will Smith Leads A Triumphant Sports Drama
King Richard was an odd movie for me. I’m a lifelong tennis fan, played competitively from about ages 14-20. So I’m fairly well-versed in the Williams’ family story. And as inspirational as it is, I’ve never been a fan. Not of Serena, not of Richard. I’m more indifferent towards Venus, but still. There’s no denying […]
HOME SWEET HOME ALONE: Just Skip It
“This is garbage. I don’t know why they’re always trying to remake the classics. Never as good as the originals.” As much as I’d like to take credit for this one, this is a literal line spoken by one of the characters in Home Sweet Home Alone. What was clearly written as intended tongue-in-cheek, self-deprecating […]
‘Survivor 41’ Episode 8 Recap: “Betraydar”
Coming off the heels of their successful Tribal Council performance, Evvie and Xander are riding high. But it’s short-lived, as Xander isn’t too thrilled about learning Evvie spilled the beans to Deshawn about his idol. And the Yase group of Tiffany, Xander, and Evvie seems to be all but over. And what follows is a […]
Review Rundown: SPENCER, DUNE, And More
With awards season starting to get into full swing, let’s kick back with one more review rundown before the major releases really start to come out quicker than we can keep up. With some bigger-name movies and smaller indie projects, there’s a solid set of recent (recent enough, at least) movies to get your eyes […]
ETERNALS Review: A Welcome Fresh Look For The MCU
If there’s one complaint about the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies (and granted, there are many valid complaints), it would be they’re all essentially the same movie. Sure, the stories and characters change. But the general framework for each movie is more or less the same. If that works for you, great. If it doesn’t, well […]
‘Survivor 41’ Episode 7 Recap: “There’s Gonna Be Blood”
Okay, Survivor, here’s the thing. If you have to open an episode with a “Previously on” segment recapping all the idols and advantages currently in play in the game, THEN THERE ARE TOO MANY ADVANTAGES AND IDOLS CURRENTLY IN PLAY IN THE GAME. But the worst part about it is that it was extremely helpful. […]
