Playing video games can be deadly! A beta tester plays an unreleased video game and ends up dying mysteriously in the same way his character died in the video game. It's up to his friend, Hutch, to play the game and find out the truth of what happened. Hutch recruits some of his gamer buddies to assist (including Malcolm in the Middle's Frankie Muniz).…
This episode of the Is This Song Good podcast starts a new series of featured songs by one hit wonders, but not the hit song. The mid 1990s brought us Joan Osborne and the smash hit song One of Us, but we're listening to her cover of Bob Dylan's Man in the Long Black Coat.

Last week I posed this question in my NFC Division winners post. And Im not going to get super deep into it but I do want to take a look. It was largely believed, after last season, that all the Jets needed was a QB. New York traded a lot of draft capital to Green Bay in the off season to get Aaron Rodgers…
We tried the Sonic Vanilla Trick or Treat Blast!
I'm going to preface this review by saying that the first Saw movie was not bad, but the sequels tended to get progressively worse. I'm not really into torture porn horror, because it seems to miss the point of why horror is an interesting genre. Just mutilating people alone isn't worthy of my time. What I'm looking for are things like interesting characters, societal…
A group of friends get together at a remote mansion to ride out a hurricane. After getting bored with drugs, drinking, and dancing, they decide to play a murder mystery type game called "Bodies Bodies Bodies". It's all fun and games until one of them turns up dead and everyone is a suspect. SNL's Pete Davidson and Borat's daughter Maria Bakalova are the notable…
Generally, I don't like "found footage" type movies, because the shaky camera work makes it hard to tell what is going on. That and it's often just headache/nausea-inducing. This film managed to keep the camera steady long enough to be somewhat enjoyable and used the cinematography for great effect rather than just a gimmick. The story follows Scarlett on her quest to find the…
This is the most absurd premise and I love it. Some girls at a sorority house decide to adopt a homicidal sloth as their mascot. Hilarity ensues. Slowly. The movie fully understands how ridiculous it is, and then leans into it a bit more. To the point where they have the sloth doing human things like browsing social media on a laptop. Even some…
A group of escaped prisoners take two women hostage and proceed to drive their car into a mineshaft. They must go deeper into the mine in an attempt to find a way out, but something old and crusty is lurking down there. I'm not going over there. This movie was so close to being a schlocky horror masterpiece. It's right on the edge, but…
Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. Week 7 is here and it's time to talk rankings! We've ditched the S+ category because the 49ers looked decidedly un-S+ this week. So we have a three team S tier with San Francisco, Kansas City, and Detroit. More on Detroit later, but let's look at a team who's doing surprisingly…
