Pop Culture and Politics on the Artistic Spectrum
Cosmopolitics is an old, barely-used term that has something to do with separating politics from culture in such a way that irrational and unrealistic ideas can be discussed outside the realm of reality. Essentially, a way for the apolitical “Cosmopolitan” or “Globalist” with no desire to inform themselves in the age of information to talk… Continue reading The New Cosmopolitics: Will America Ever Come Back From This?
In the midst of the sociopolitical and medical scare of the Chinese Coronavirus, thousands of Conservatives of various age groups convened for the annual CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) in DC. It was a fun and, at times, chaotic event, but also happened to be my first time attending, so I thought I’d share the… Continue reading A Scintillating Scenario at CPAC 2020

It is a dark time. The few remaining American people of kind heart and mind on the political left have lost nearly all common sense and credibility (if they had any to begin with) and we are unable to come together for similar values and goals. How did we get here? Cognitive dissonance within certain… Continue reading Big ideas and bad actors: The death of modernity
The strange death of the Wissahickon Valley has seemingly come out of nowhere. But with denial, hang-wringing, and a refusal to accept any accountability for their own domestic and social policies, the people of Philadelphia are ensuring it will only get worse.
https://www.instagram.com/p/ByvNkpyj9oO/ Perhaps it's because I'm getting older and more prone to daydream about being a father, or maybe my perception of the comic con crowd is actually legitimate, but it seems to me that the annual Wizard World Comic Con event in Philadelphia is becoming increasingly targeted toward children. As it should be. The weekend-long… Continue reading The Wizarding World of Wizard World Philadelphia
Whether you're too young to remember, or the hyper-speed news cycle has rendered your long-term memory functionally obsolete, you may find it difficult to recall the tumultuous 1990s discussions about broad multimedia censorship. There have been violent video games since the 1970s, but the 90s really drove home the visceral content both figuratively and literally.… Continue reading In a Dark Dark Web (and other stories)

Every year there is a palpable anticipation for our local Philadelphia version of Wizard World Comic Con, and 2018 was no exception. Generally, the first step in building the excitement is what film, tv, media and pop culture projects are in the works; or what is set to be released around the time of the event.… Continue reading Going Solo: A Wizard World Story

A year end wrap-up with some of our favorite Philadelphia characters and how they've doomed us for 2018.

As an unapologetic Star Wars apologist, I feel that we need to get several things straight right away regarding a personal and a public response to this latest trilogy installment, The Last Jedi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j78oe2QB7X4 Let's start with the personal. With the unquestionable exception of the Wookiee-related sections of the Star Wars Holiday Special, I can watch anything in… Continue reading The Last Jedi: Most Divisive ‘Star Wars’ Ever?

Last weekend, thousands of Harry Potter fans descended on Chestnut Hill, PA for the 7th annual Harry Potter Festival on Germantown Avenue. For seven years, this flamboyantly jejune exhibition has granted both disappointed children and brazen developmentally halted adults the ability to frolic in unfettered glee in what would otherwise be an unmitigated playground of derision, a… Continue reading The Harry Potter Festival just got more cringe
Despite being oversaturated with historic monuments, murals, structures, and artifacts in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and specifically the city of Philadelphia, it is endlessly troubling how detached our citizens seem to be from that history. Recently, a small, but nevertheless obnoxious, group of individuals led by Councilwoman-at-Large and Asian spirit who kills you seven… Continue reading Is Philly’s Octavius Catto Monument a Warning?
Ask yourself a question. What moral authority do you have over your neighbor? If your answer is anything other than "None, whatsoever," we have a serious problem on our hands. We live in an environment right now where large sections of our populous and governing bodies, regardless of intention, are both shameless and authoritarian. Shameless, through… Continue reading Your Hot Take on Statues is Garbage

In a bittersweet turn of events, it appears that we have reached the end of the line for our long-running hashtag game: #XanderBerkeleyFriday For me, this relationship with recognizable character actor Xander Berkeley ended just about the time Donald Trump became president; but the online community that Sailor Twift had created surrounding the actor was still… Continue reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Creepy Old Man
I've always been against "pride." No singular pride in particular; but unearned pride should have no place in our country. The circumstances of your birth should never be a source of pride. Once you've let your identity politics take the place of actual meaningful accomplishment, all that's left is racial, gender or ethnic hubris that… Continue reading LGBT Pride Gets Babadooked
Philadelphia-Based Production Studio's Dark Comedy Named "Official Selection" to Top 100 Film Festival PHILADELPHIA - June 12, 2017 - PRLog -- AUTO SHOP, the highly-anticipated dark comedy from Sailor Twift Studios, has been named an "official selection" to the fourth annual FLY Film Festival in Enid, Oklahoma; a Film Freeway Top 100 reviewed festival.

Last night, Americans were unnerved by the breaking news that Trump had ordered an artillery strike on the Syrian Air Force base from which planes carrying "Chemical Weapons" had supposedly launched an attack on the rebel-controlled town of Khan Sheikhoun. As I argued in a previous article, this "Chemical Attack" likely never occurred at all. But,… Continue reading When the Frog Went to War
As the world gains more insight into the avalanche of reporting about alleged Syrian Chemical Attacks, we begin to see that things might not be all that they seem in the Islamist Petri Dish of the Middle East. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18lf1kpBgRk Over the years, much of the Western World has been keeping Syrian President Bashar al-Assad at a… Continue reading Syria: The Tale That Wags the War Dogs

Well let us begin with a friendly HAPPY NEW YEAR! Now that we’ve got that out of the way we can discuss what our resolutions are, or, what we’re going to better this year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIViy7L_lo8 At the end of each year, it's customary to reflect backward instead of looking forward. Pretty much the only forward-thinking we ever do is related to some doomed-to-fail resolution that we wind up breaking within the first month of the new year when the first celebrity we kind of liked dies. Pass the cigarettes,… Continue reading Grace, Chewbacca & The Deplorables: 2016 Year in Review
I tried to push off my full review for the latest installment in the hopefully never-ending Star Wars saga. Everyone's posting stupid shit about this movie, and while most people have seen it, I, personally know several who haven't. So--I held off. Until now. You guys are no doubt aware of my feelings for Star Wars at… Continue reading ‘Rogue One’ Review: Waiting for Quadinaros
[via Blind Gossip] While the media rushes to suggest that no self-respecting performer, marching band, or choir would dare throw their hat in the ring to light up the stage or parade at the Inauguration of Donald Trump, we're slowly learning that this is not true. It has been discovered that the producer of a popular theatrical… Continue reading Could it be? A Hamilton Inauguration?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3VPZsqS1qE There's a lot to love here in this seemingly impromptu meeting of President-Elect Donald Trump and too-woke-for-this-planet genius Kanye West. This quick press-invited meet-and-greet comes on the heels of West being released from a mental health facility after confessing his admiration for the Donald and cancelling his tour. It was clear from the brief snapshot we have… Continue reading Based Yeezus Comes Home to ‘Daddy’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sbT3_9dJY4 While it's ultimately refreshing to have individuals who have a seemingly limitless history of being categorically wrong about every major issue involving race, gender, sociology, and economics suddenly get super-into international politics instead, one does not simply become magically red-pilled when one's political nemesis becomes God Emperor. In this latest and transparently bogus attempt to (at… Continue reading Your Russian Hacker Theory Sucks
You have heard all of the Christmas songs over and over, year after year, and perhaps you have heard some of the covers of those songs that better strike your musical fancy.

Pistachio Girl gets fired from Citizens Bank Park, and the Gaybourhood… Continue reading Rox Trash Radio, Ep. 19: Christmas in Junkietown
This morning, Donald Trump, as he is apt to do, Tweeted out a little bit of inner monologue that has succeeded in rubbing people the wrong way; as he is also apt to do. It should be no surprise to anyone at this point that Trump is an atypical President-Elect. His Twitter is, and will remain for the… Continue reading Flag Burning: Your Right, Your Loss

This was certainly an interesting endeavor and I thank all of those who participated. Last week I asked around for people’s favorite horror movie between 1990- 2002.

Funny note, I posted a status on… Continue reading Weekend Horror Flick Viewing (10/20): ‘Member Berry Edition

When Disney ripped the Star Wars universe from the cold dead hands of George Lucas, many were afraid of the franchise's future. Those people were wrong. There are plenty of times Disney has made epic and costly mistakes, but they typically come in the form of a John Carter or Lone Ranger. Typically, Disney's misfires are attempts at future… Continue reading Star Wars Goes Rogue

First thing's fucking first, I get it--this election has been pretty nuts. Not unpredictably nuts, but a level of bizarre we can all deal with, should we be mentally stable individuals. Most of us aren't. And it seems that you guys--gentle readers--are almost certainly more out-of-touch than any of the current candidates are. But, having said… Continue reading Vote for Yourselves (For All I Care)
If you haven't heard of Total NonStop Action, or Impact Wrestling, or NWA: TNA, or whatever it's called this month, there's a pretty good reason.

The goal for the WWE has always been total domination of the professional wrestling market, and… Continue reading Oh Billy: TNA Wrestling’s Fight to Stay Afloat
There's no getting around the political fact that the Presidential Debates don't have much of an impact on the polls, or anyone's opinion of the candidates. I would argue further that who we choose to be President of the United States isn't a particularly significant decision either, but you guys seem to think it's an… Continue reading What to Expect When You’re Expecting a Crazy Debate

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRp1CK_X_Yw With 7 weeks left until Election Day, we're in the doubling-down zone for political theater. I don't care who anyone votes for because none of the current nominees seem likely to accomplish anything that I deem personally favorable, or ethically righteous. Putting the 3rd Parties aside--no, voting for a 3rd party is not throwing your vote… Continue reading Heavy Handed Heroes & Don King

There are a few things we can probably all agree on: America needs to be energy independent, and America needs to decrease its reliance on non-renewable energy sources.
