Va Va Danny is thrilled after his successful idol play to oust Brandon. Lauren is less happy, after seeing a Ratu member voted out.

GHOSTED Review: Leave This One On Read
No one wants to be ghosted. No one wants to be ghosted especially when the one doing the ghosting is Ana de Armas. So what do you do? Do you take the hint of 10+ unreturned text messages and forget about her and move on? Or do you – unannounced, mind you – fly 5,000 […]
‘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, […]
THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE Review
There is arguably no video game character more iconic than Mario. The lovable, affable Italian plumber first appeared in 1981’s Donkey Kong arcade game, with 1985’s Super Mario Bros for the NES marking his first outing as a featured namesake character. And Nintendo never looked back. If you grew up in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, […]
AIR Review
Michael Jordan’s Air Jordan deal revolutionized the athlete endorsement industry. It wasn’t just the shoe – or the shirts and other apparel that would soon follow. Rather, it was the nature of the deal. Where other shoe companies had their athletes wearing the same shoes, Nike designed the Air Jordan’s around Michael Jordan. That was […]
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 […]

RYE LANE Review
As a genre, the romantic comedy is a well-oiled machine. You know what to expect, and even when to expect it. And that’s part of the beauty of these movies. It’s a comfort genre that doesn’t necessarily need reinvention or rejuvenation. But every once in a while it’s good to have a movie try to […]
