Wait wait wait… hold on just a second here! A biopic about late NFL coach, commentator, and video game sponsor John Madden as played by Nicolas Freaking Cage featuring Christian Bale as Raiders owner Al Davis?

I both love and hate when the traditional broadcast TV season comes to an end.

May the Fourth Be With You!!

As of tonight, I’m finally caught up on the first six episodes that have dropped so far for season 2 of Disney+’s Andor.

Wow. The Simpsons was picked up for another four seasons to carry it through year 40! You gotta be kidding me.

I know bookstore owners would rather you buy new. Higher profit margins and all that. But, I love used books. I just do. They cost less. You can score unique and out-of-print copies. And, sometimes, they have cool stories that accompany their journey to your bookshelf.

I was trying to come up with an idea for a toy photo today and, as happens more often than not, I went with a concept that came to me VERY last second.

A few years ago, Hulu released Prey, a prequel to all the original four Predator and two Alien v Predator films.

If you know, you know. If you don’t, don’t ask. The explanation would make no sense.

🎶 … the day the music died… 🎵

Katie and I were watching the Friends episode where Chandler challenges all of the others to write out the names of all 50 states to see who actually gets right.

Ming-Na Wen is gonna be at FanExpo Chicago this year??? Oh heck yeah!!

I’ve known for a while they were making Tron: Ares, another sequel to the classic 1982 Disney movie Tron about a hacker/arcade owner (Jeff Bridges) being sucked into a computer world to save the programs from an all-powerful Master Control Program trying to wipe them out of existence.

Yes, I’m still in shock about the death of Val Kilmer. No, not that he died given his health issues. Just general shock that he’s gone.

Well my bracket is mostly busted. Sure, I’ve got two number 1s still potentially in it, but they aren’t predicted to go to the championship game. And I only picked one of those two to go that far (Auburn) and that same team was picked to win it all (Auburn).

I recently discovered a new channel in our DirecTV Stream lineup called Horror by ALTER. I'd never heard of it and they never told us it was being added. But, hey, horror movies!

I’m not sure exactly when it started, but, at some point in the past, Spotify decided to venture into the audiobook frontier. As I was always a user of either Audible or Libby, I paid no attention to it.

This weekend, I’m gonna start and finish the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. I’ve watched it many times before. Heck, it was just last year that I watched it previously.

I’m a fan of 80s and early 90s hard rock and heavy metal. It’s my jam. Always has been and I cannot foresee a situation in which that would ever cease being the case.

Did I ever tell you about the time that Dave2 and I accidentally stumbled upon a movie set that was actively filming?

This is post #2 of the Jay-Mike-Fred: A Horror Compendium franchise examination posts, complete with guest reviewer, Nate (my son)!

I’m gonna take what might seem like an unpopular stance… I really liked Captain America: Brave New World.

Are you watching Paradise on Hulu? I’d heard about it because it stars Sterling K. Brown and James Marsden, both of whom I like as actors. And I knew it was a political thriller where Brown is a Secret Service agent on President Marsden’s detail. And there is a murder.

I just realized that it’s been two years since I’ve done a bulk horror movie review post. In that time, my son has started watching with me. So why not write a series of posts based on each franchise we’ve watched together? Maybe even let Nate chime in on these Jay-Mike-Fred: A Horror Compendium posts.

As has been the case for many years, Katie and I have watched very few of the Best Picture nominated films for the Oscars and other awards shows. There was a point in our lives where we used to try to watch most, if not all, of them.

Should I? Shouldn’t I? The books, that is.

David Tennant is a multinational treasure. You have to know him, even if you don’t realize that you know him. He’s widely considered to be one of the greatest Scottish actors in history.

…and heartbreak.

Wow. That was a totally underwhelming Super Bowl despite the weak attempt at a comeback really late in the game.

One thing that makes me very very different than many of my friends and coworkers who work remotely is that I very rarely play music aloud when I’m working.

I joined an online group of horror fans. Not just movies but anything horror related. It’s been a lot of fun talking to them and getting ideas for new books and movies and whatnot.

The Super Bowl matchup has been set! It is…

I’m tellin’ y’all, I love the withdraw rack at our library.

The Unrivaled women’s basketball 3-on-3 league is here, folks! Games start tonight and continue throughout the weekend and I am stoked!

Rough day in entertainment today.
