Survivor premiere night. This is usually the time and place where I talk about how excited I am for a new season to start. And in the “new era” of Survivor, it’s where I talk about how I’m still excited, but with tempered expectations. And while that’s still the case for Survivor 45, I’m going […]

‘Survivor 44’ Finale Recap: “Absolute Banger Season”
Well, we made it. Another Survivor finale. Survivor 44 has been an…interesting season. It didn’t start off great. Not terrible, just nothing all that exciting. Then it got bad. Real bad. Like, worst of all time bad. And then things started to pick up. Production stopped meddling. The awful twists and advantages went by the […]
‘Survivor 44’ Episode 12 Recap: “I’m The Bandit”
Va Va Carolyn is riding high after getting Danny out. Even though she didn’t have to play her idol for Carson (he would have only received two votes to Danny’s three), she still feels good about playing it. That’s a great example of self-awareness, knowing this was the right play, even though it technically was […]
‘Survivor 44’ Episode 11 Recap: “I’m Not Worthy”
Before we get into this week’s episode, we have some big news to cover! As has been rumored, it’s now official: Survivor will be moving to 90-minute episodes, beginning this fall with Survivor 45. It’s a change fans have long been asking for, and we finally got our wish. Australian Survivor and Survivor South Africa […]
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 Review
James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy has been one of the stronger series within the larger MCU. Off that alone, there were already huge expectations for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Add in the perceived “superhero fatigue,” the discussion of which has seemingly increased after the mixed reception of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, […]
‘Survivor 44’ Episode 9 Recap: “Under The Wing Of A Dragon”
Va Va Danny is thrilled after his successful idol play to oust Brandon. Lauren is less happy, after seeing a Ratu member voted out. She and Jaime had wanted to split the vote to prevent exactly what happened from happening, but apparently Brandon had pushed back against the idea. But it was still a 6-4 […]
‘Survivor 44’ Episode 8 Recap: “Don’t Get Cocky, Kid”
We need to start off on a sad note, with the tragic news that Keith Nale has passed away. Keith was such a pure spirit for the show, was loads of fun to watch, and by all accounts was just a genuinely good guy. Much love to Wes, Big D, and his family, RIP Keith. […]
‘Survivor 44’ Episode 7 Recap: “Let’s Not Be Cute About It”
Va Va Yam Yam returns back to camp after having been the backup plan at the vote that sent Josh home. He goes right into charm mode, not being salty, not taking it out on anyone. He knows he needs friends in the game, so that’s (correctly) his main focus. Matt feels like a new […]
‘Survivor 44’ Episode 6 Recap: “Survivor With A Capital S”
The tribes receive Tree Mail telling them that “the game is about to change.” It’s merge time! Well, not quite merge. It’s the “new era” of Survivor, so that most likely means it’s the (now) normal 6-6 split with half the tribe earning immunity. While Ratu waits for the other two tribes to join them, […]
TETRIS Review
I can’t remember a time in my life without Tetris. As far as my memory is concerned, the game has always existed. And I can’t even begin to estimate how many hours I’ve spent playing it. Many, many hours. Whatever that number is, it’s a big one. But in all those hours, trying to get […]
