Yep. Once again the annual delayed television preview post has been delayed far past when it would usually be posted. At this pace, I might just be posting the 2018 edition around Thanksgiving. In any case – despite this being so delayed, I haven’t had much opportunity to watch television lately. So consider this a…

As always, it’s that time of the year again – where we revisit Nick’s predictions about the entertainment level of the previous year of television. The original predictions are available here. Let’s see how fantastically or poorly I predicted my level of entertainment from the slate that I mentioned: The Good Place – Easily one…

As is par for the course, these season previews have gotten later and later into the season every year I’ve done a preview. At this point, most of the shows have already debuted or returned, so this is less of a preview (despite my having selected those shows prior to watching any of them). In…

All the new shows that fall into this category have aired, but it’s time to review my predictions and consider how accurate my soothsaying was (here’s a hint, it hasn’t been doing very well as of late). There were a number of pleasant…

It’s 2015. That means films from 1990 are 25 years old now. And it seems like not so long ago that Julia Roberts announced her presence to the world as a leading lady in Pretty Woman (1990). She first appeared as a fresh faced ingenue in Mystic Pizza (1988), in which Roger Ebert tapped her…

The Breakfast Club (1985) seemed as good a choice as any to kick off a year-long flashback series at movies that were released 30 years ago (or, in 1985).
