• WHAT.THE.STEAMING.PILE.OF.DOGSHIT.IS.THIS? When The Platform came out in 2019, it was exciting and a breath of fresh air where dystopian movie creativity was concerned. A vertical frigging prison. Very cool. It was mind-numbing in a way that you just knew there had to be some hidden meaning and message the directors were trying to convey. Of…

  • Liam Neeson is one of those actors I kinda envy. While I’m obviously not saying that being a professional actor is easy, I have to say that things do seem easier for those who literally talk and behave the same seemingly throughout every movie they’re a part of and being able to get away with…

  • Built to Fail: The Inside Story of Blockbuster’s Inevitable Bust by Alan Payne talks about one of the biggest corporate collapse in American history. After having read the book, I honestly don’t think the author could have come up with a better title for the book. While Enron was caught doing financial magic tricks to…

  • There’s a reason why The LOX is one of the most respected hip-hop trio groups of all time. They’ve been doing it for almost three decades now. It’s obvious their stock has risen tremendously after their Verzuz battle with Dipset. It’s crazy, but if you look at their album catalog spanning the decades, they’ve only…

    Made Men & The LOX - Tommy's Theme

  • To be honest, I didn’t have much faith going in that this would be a good movie. However, I’m a bit surprised at how much fun it turned out to be. I haven’t seen Halle Berry in ages and truth be told, I haven’t exactly followed her career. Most I’ve ever heard of her mentioned…

  • I’ve always liked Colin Farrell. Ever since Phone Booth, I’ve been rooting for the guy. It’s weird because although one can argue that there are a lot of better actors out there, I find that a lot of movies he stars in just fits him so perfectly well, which obviously makes it a joy to…

  • Paper Soldiers: How the Weaponization of the Dollar Changed the World Order by Saleha Mohsin talks about a critical topic concerning both today and the future in regard to the world’s most used currency, the United States dollar. Over the decades, the dollar has been slowly used to transform both the economic landscape around the…

  • Admittingly, I’m not been the biggest of fan of the Alien franchise. However, the first Alien movie of 1979 I do admit is a pure classic. It was ahead of its time, and the alien creature was the stuff of pure sci-fi horror. Even by today’s standard, the creature, I feel, can still lure in…

  • We’re taking it back to New York in episode #9! Specifically, we’re heading to the Bed-Stuy neighborhood in Brooklyn. One rapper who represents Bed-Stuy to the fullest has got to be Maino. In fact, I just found out that August 16 is officially dedicated as Maino day! Maino was definitely a controversial type of dude.…

  • In a world gone totally crazy, your private information given to companies no longer seems safe. Security breaches where a bad guy somehow is able to steal databases worth of customer information is becoming a normal type of event. I had just this year received in the mail a couple of letters warning that some…
