#MrRobot: Eps3.5_kill-process.inc Recap
First off, apologies for not posting a recap last week. I was a bit under the weather. Last week’s episode was light on story but filled with visual goodies.

A civilization which leaves so large a number of its participants unsatisfied and drives them into revolt neither has nor deserves the prospect of a lasting existence. – Sigmund Freud
Did DC Unintentionally Come Up With Their Best Idea Ever?
Sometimes, ingenuity is cultivated through failure. We’ve heard the stories of Thomas Edison having thousands of failed inventions before the light bulb. Steve Jobs promoted numerous failed devices but we only remember him for the iPod and iPhone. Instagram started off as a geotagging app before it became what it is today. DC turned one … Continue reading Did DC Unintentionally Come Up With Their Best Idea Ever?

It’s roughly 8:45pm on Wednesday night. I’m driving in my work rental car on I-65 South heading back to Huntsville from Nashville. My good friend and fellow Big Brother fan Jordan had called me prior to the votes being announced and put me on speaker phone so I could hear the results.

How Jessica Blew A 28-3 Lead (#BB19 Spoilers)
What in the farfignewton? Girl. Jessica. Girl. Is you stupid or is you dumb? I don’t really know how to explain what just happened, but that was possibly the worst sequence of events in a Big Brother HoH since……uh, well, Chima’s HoH got Production’d. Even then, at least Chima had a goal and was actually … Continue reading How Jessica Blew A 28-3 Lead (#BB19 Spoilers)

Snowfall and the Importance of Having Patience With “Slow-Burn TV”
From the moment I saw the first teaser for Snowfall, I was intrigued. The crack “epidemic” is a definitive era in American history and we still feel a lot of those effects today. Although this era gets romanticized endlessly through every medium imaginable and I shy away from it (See: Narcos) Snowfall still had me curious. Maybe it … Continue reading Snowfall and the Importance of Having Patience With “Slow-Burn TV”
Keloid: The Black Sci-Fi Web Series You’ve Been Waiting For
Disclaimer: Never ever try to find this web series by simply typing ‘keloid’ into the YouTube search bar. Keyword searches are your friend. The more keywords, the better.

Teen Titans Go! – It’s Not Teen Titans and It’s Time To Stop Crying About It
Okay. [in my Ron Voice]
AJ is gonna be mad.
Courtney is gonna be furious.
But I have to finally admit. Teen Titans Go! deserves my respect, it was a hard conclusion to come to, but after watching marathons with my one-year old, I have to admit, it’s a damn good show.

Boomerang: The Best Rom-Com of All Time
Milestones are the thing to celebrate these days so here’s an important one: On June 28th, 2017, Boomerang turned 25. It was directed by Reginald Hudlin (House Party, The Great White Hype) and was based on a script by Eddie Murphy (Literally everything in the 80s and 90s). It featured a star-studded cast with names such as … Continue reading Boomerang: The Best Rom-Com of All Time

The #BB19 Hype Train: Top 5 Best/Worst Big Brother Seasons of All-Time
Big Brother is a game of social strategy combined with, now, physical strength. Some seasons feature power balance swings that go back and forth all season long making the season entertaining. Sometimes an alliance steamrolls through a season, or one particular person is instrumental in nearly every eviction throughout the course of the season. What I wanted to do today was cover the best and worst of BB’s 18 seasons so far. Except the first season, I excluded that because it was a completely different game.

Top 25 Movies of the Century According to @RonQuixote_
New York Times recently posted their Top 25 Movies of the Century. I’m not sure why 2017 is a benchmark but when I see a list it’s my duty to analyze it.

The Curious Case of the Wonder Woman Movie
With a little less than two months left until release, Wonder Woman is DC’s forgotten movie.
The #ThorRagnarok Trailer Just Dropped and It’s a Sight to Behold
Ron and AJ here. We’re back. Doing what we do best: Hyping superhero movies months before they even drop. We get it. Solo Thor movies are a hard sell. He’s basically the dumb blonde of the Avengers movies, so his comedic relief isn’t enough to carry entire movies by himself. [Although Thor: The Dark World … Continue reading The #ThorRagnarok Trailer Just Dropped and It’s a Sight to Behold
The Lunatic is in Your Head: How Legion Controls Your Mind
You know the greatest thing I loved about comics as a kid? They suspended reality. It was an opportunity for me to escape reality, if only briefly. Even though some stories would be emotionally driven and mirrored real life events, they still served as a fantasy world. They formed a mythology. This mythology only existence on thin … Continue reading The Lunatic is in Your Head: How Legion Controls Your Mind
The Greatest (Worst) Power Rangers Rip-Offs You Forgot All About
You were probably one of the millions who ran to theaters this weekend to chase nostalgia. The Power Rangers was important to our childhood but we often lose historical context. We only remember the greats. No one remembers the bench player. The 90s had a lot of greats, but trust me, there were a lot … Continue reading The Greatest (Worst) Power Rangers Rip-Offs You Forgot All About
More Mighty Than Morphin’: Power Rangers Is Worth The Time (by @FletchTopper)
Howdy there, KWC readers. My name is Fletcher Keel, and Ryan and Ron were kind enough to let me pen a guest-post for the website about the Power Rangers reboot/reimagining film that was officially released this weekend.
More Than Mighty Morphin’: Ranking Our Top 5 Power Rangers Seasons
I grew tired of seeing the disrespect and decided to make a list of my favorite Power Rangers seasons. Note: We use “season” loosely here because we really mean series. Mighty Morphin ran for quite a while and other series got two seasons. We’re ranking titles. My list is first, then AJ’s follows. 5. Zeo Zeo … Continue reading More Than Mighty Morphin’: Ranking Our Top 5 Power Rangers Seasons
Holy Hell, Iron Fist is Pretty Bad

Dear Hollywood, I’m Sick of Your Shit
No idea under the sun is original. Your favorite thing is likely influenced by the creator’s favorite thing. This will become someone’s favorite thing and influence them to create someone’s favorite thing. The cycle repeats. With that said, there are two things I hate the more than anything else in entertainment: Bad Boy remixes and … Continue reading Dear Hollywood, I’m Sick of Your Shit
Plot Twist: After Years of Making Cinematic Poop, I’m an M. Night Shyamalan Fan Again
Think about a movie that influenced you. A movie that changed the way you viewed movies forever. From the moment you saw it, you knew it would be the standard which you judged other movies. Now, I know when most self-appointed film geeks name their most influential movies, they usually include something like 2001, Apocalypse … Continue reading Plot Twist: After Years of Making Cinematic Poop, I’m an M.

This is usually the section where I introduce a show to you, tell you what it’s about, and then, why you need to watch it. First, the name of this show is The Young Pope.

A Procrastinator’s List of Favorite Movies from 2016
Look, time is a man-made concept. The Earth doesn’t rotate a perfect 24 hours a day. There was no Year 0. For all intents and purposes, it could still be 2016 in an alternate universe. No? Well, I’m done making excuses for my chronic procrastination. This was an arduous task, though, as it is every … Continue reading A Procrastinator’s List of Favorite Movies from 2016
Ron’s Favorite TV Shows of 2016

Why Rogue One is the Best War Movie of the Year
Long ago, in a galaxy far far away…there was a trilogy. This trilogy predated its trilogy of prequels by 22 years. Sixteen years later, the first movie in a new trilogy of movies that takes place right after the events of the first trilogy, which is now thirty-eight years old in its origin, was … Continue reading Why Rogue One is the Best War Movie of the Year

Luke Cage broke Netflix this weekend. Atlanta is the new best thing on TV. Queen Sugar is receiving critical acclaim. There’s even Designated Survivor if that’s your thing.

The Killing Joke [Animated Movie] Review
The Killing Joke is a title that needs no introduction. It’s a classic story that makes The Joker Batman’s arch nemesis. So of course I was excited to hear that this story would be adapted into a R-rated animated film. If it’s one thing DC does right, it’s their animation. This movie also has Kevin … Continue reading The Killing Joke [Animated Movie] Review
My Random Thoughts on Stranger Things
In America’s most recent wave of Nostalgia, Stranger Things is a Netflix original that pays homage to the sometimes cheesy, sometimes outrageous world of 80s sci-fi. If you’re not new to the genre, nothing about the plot of the show will surprise you, but it will definitely hold your attention. Since I … Continue reading My Random Thoughts on Stranger Things
What I learned about #Blacklivesmatter from watching OITNB (contains spoilers)
I’ve given you as much time as I can to digest the latest season of OITNB. It was definitely one of the best seasons yet with a story line that felt pointed and strategic. The entire thing was building up to the most tragic tv moment I’ve seen in a while, the death of Poussey. … Continue reading What I learned about #Blacklivesmatter from watching OITNB (contains spoilers)
Why Suicide Squad Can’t Suck
I’ve grown accustomed to movie marketing schemes over time, particularly summer blockbusters. Some Most of the time, it seems cheesy and overdone. You can see the stress on the actors’ faces by the end of their press tour. But NEVER and I mean EVER have I seen forced hype of the likes of Suicide Squad. … Continue reading Why Suicide Squad Can’t Suck
X-Men: Apocalypse Review featuring @RonQuixote_ and @AJ_Phx
After the horrible X3: The Last Stand, Fox was left clueless about what to do with the X-Men franchise. Many ideas were thrown around but ultimately they decided to do a soft reboot. This brought on X-Men: The First Class. Although it had its imperfections, it was seen as a fresh take on an exhausted … Continue reading X-Men: Apocalypse Review featuring @RonQuixote_ and @AJ_Phx

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Review featuring @Aj_Phx
Unless you’ve been sleeping in a bat infested cave for the past three years, you know that Batman v Superman is one of the most anticipated movies of the year.

True Detective: Church In Ruins Recap
Ebony is joining me again for another True Detective recap. I’ll let her start first. So the episode this week went really fast, and I actually enjoyed it. It opened up with Ray and Frank having coffee with their guns and Frank actually making a funny “don’t you fucking shoot me Raymond.” And it ends … Continue reading True Detective: Church In Ruins Recap
True Detective: Other Lives Recap
Another week. Another Recap. Before I jump into this week’s episode, let me get this rant off. This season is getting bashed. True enough, it’s not exactly groundbreaking but it’s not THAT bad either. There’s the same slow-burning procedural formula that we’re all used to. This season is in the same format as last season, climax … Continue reading True Detective: Other Lives Recap
True Detective: Down Will Come Recap
Another week, another episode to recap. Joining me, finally, is my fellow blog contributor Ebony. I’ll let her kick things off and give her thoughts.

True Detective: Maybe Tomorrow Recap
Before I even hop into this week’s episode, allow me to rant…What the heck is wrong with you people? Why the harsh criticisms so soon? The first season didn’t exactly start off strong and I can bear slow burning detective dramas. If episode 4 didn’t change the season, I was prepared to give up on … Continue reading True Detective: Maybe Tomorrow Recap
True Detective: The Western Book of the Dead Recap
Obviously, season 2 had a lot to live up with. I loved season 1 as much as other people so I kinda had low expectations. However, I’m quite intrigued by the first episode. If last season was any indication, this opening song was meticulously picked. With that said, I’m already paying really close attention to … Continue reading True Detective: The Western Book of the Dead Recap
True Detective Season Two: What We Know So Far
Season One was filled with Southern lore, mystery, noir, action, titties and stellar performances from McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. It was a crazy ride with our two reluctant heroes, but a really fun one. Hopefully they’re still living together and shotgunning cans of Lone Star beer. As their characters Marty and Rust walked away, they looked … Continue reading True Detective Season Two: What We Know So Far

Assembling the Marvel Universe’s Next Phase
If you haven’t seen Avengers: Age of Ultron yet then don’t even read this. Actually, you’re quite trash. Go fix this immediately then come back. It pretty much contains all of the badassness we predicted as a sequel. Except, it’s totally unfair to call this a sequel, because it really isn’t. Age of Ultron is pretty much … Continue reading Assembling the Marvel Universe’s Next Phase
