Talking Nerdy, Ep. 45 “Mark Smoothalo”
In this week's episode we're talking MARVEL. We talk Iron Man 3, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and more! We breeze over what TV shows have been cancelled and the new FALL schedule for NBC. You'll find out who we'd have sex with out of Amanda Knox, Casey Anthony, and Jodi Arias--AND you get to find out… Continue reading Talking Nerdy, Ep. 45 “Mark Smoothalo”
Re-watching “Heroes” on Xfinity. I forgot how great it used to be.
The Death of the Game Show
A funny thing happened while channel-surfing today. Do people still use that term? "Channel Surfing?" Anyways, when I say "funny," I mean: horrifying. If there is true evil in the world, its name is Minute To Win It. NBC in their infinite wisdom has picked up on a sure-thing: a game show that's so frustrating… Continue reading The Death of the Game Show
The Other Side of the Olympics
I'll say it so you don't have to: The Olympics are fucking boring. Yes, I recognize the athletic achievement and national pride (blah blah blah) that go along with this ancient sporting event, but it sucks. It's not fun to watch and it's even less fun to hear people talk about. That's right--Americans don't give… Continue reading The Other Side of the Olympics
What Ever Happened to the Heroes? Part 2
(Continued from Part 1) Without procrastinating too much longer, let's dive right into the heat of the ultimately worthless life of the real-world superhero.

Part 2

The essence of the Superhero is an ideology which, on the surface, seems to be distinctly American...not counting the Nazi Genetically Superior Ubermensch, of course. Say what you… Continue reading What Ever Happened to the Heroes? Part 1
Chris Hansen VS Predator: Requiem
It's a fairly safe bet that if you've ever seen or heard of television, you've come across To Catch a Predator at some point. Unfortunately, I've willingly subjected myself to a Sunday Marathon and volunteered for the spectator sport of Predator-Nabbing. After viewing an unarguably unhealthy amount of Dateline's hilariously repetitive "investigative journalism," I've noticed… Continue reading Chris Hansen VS Predator: Requiem
Fighting Cancer and Ratings
Hey, remember that chick from the titty-riffic dimwitted smile swimsuit poster that used to be in every teenage boy's room in the 70's? You know the one... Farrah Fawcett has no doubt outlived her usefulness, and now she expects all of us to suffer with her. It's a horrible thing to have Cancer. I don't… Continue reading Fighting Cancer and Ratings
