Billy and the boyz are back with a new album called CYR. I have been a lifelong fan of the Smashing Pumpkins and they were particularly important during my formative years.

Hey, turkey, have a Happy Thanksgiving. Even though you can’t see all your family, you can still stuff your face and watch football.
Knives Out (2019)
It’s a story of privilege and class when a family must come to grips with their wealthy patriarch’s death by suicide and what that means for their pampered lifestyle. Daniel Craig plays the Sherlock Holmes private investigator Benoit Blanc, who doesn’t even know who hired him (part of the mystery). While all the family members…
New Music Fridays – Scrambled Ed (Shameless Self Promotion)

Crawl (2019)

It was a constant heart-pounding intense rollercoaster. I kept thinking it could have been really great…
