Thank you to Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers for somehow helping me get through the four years of the Trump Administration. The last four years have been completely unbearable but they were made better by turning to both Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers every night. Unless the duo were off on a given night. There’s so many late night hosts to watch on TV but Colbert and Meyers were the most political by far. Of…

The second season of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous provides for thrilling and pure escapist entertainment as we return to Isla Nublar. I’m going to be honest here. Because of everything going on, I needed to step away from the news two weeks ago on a Thursday evening. There is no better way–at least for me during the pandemic–to have escapism than return to Isla Nublar. It took almost three decades to get an animated Jurassic…

This is a film that film allows audiences to revisit some of our nation’s best poets during the height of their prime. It’s a blast to the past as we travel all the way back in a time machine to 1975. This is when Bob Dylan starts to put together this musical revue. What…

While studios figure out their film slates for 2021-2022, what they should not be focusing on are films that are set during a pandemic. Listen, I was attracted to the cast of Locked Down more so than the logline itself. But in spite of this, my feelings after watching the film last week have only grown stronger. I do not want to see any more pandemic-set films while living through a pandemic. In case you’re living…

WandaVision is the Marvel Cinematic Universe sitcom we need right now but the series is a true love letter to television history in general. It’s been a while since Marvel released anything new for audiences to consume. Because of the pandemic, Black Widow is delayed until May at the earliest. My money is on another delay with how slow the vaccines are in getting rolled out. But hey, I’ll take any new product from Marvel…

Pat and Mike is the final team-up between Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn while the duo were under contract to M-G-M. Following Pat and Mike, Tracy and Hepburn would team up to make only two more films together: Desk Set (1957) and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967). The latter two films would be released by 20th Century-Fox and Columbia, respectively. If you have not watched the latter, I beg of you to please do…

Without Love isn’t as famous as other pairings but it is the third team-up between screen legends Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. George Stevens’s romantic comedy, Woman of the Year, marked their first team up in 1942. However, this wasn’t meant to be their first team-up. No, the honor was going to belong to The Philadelphia Story but things didn’t work out in the end. One thing is for sure though: Without Love does not…
