Some episodes come out of the gates, others build to a slow boil. (Others are just turds in the punch bowl, but no one bats a thousand.) In the final minutes, Cate drops a bombshell that, quite frankly, she should have started the show with. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll […]
Because who wants to hear the news of the day on time and from the mouth of a professional anchor when you can get it from us long after its relevance has faded? The gang and I discuss the Chicago teacher in deep trouble for mocking a student’s hair on […]
I know nothing of fine dining. If I open a menu and there’s an item over $30 on it, my eyes bug out like that Tex Avery wolf. Don’t misunderstand me: I’m a black belt in the art of gluttony, but when it comes to food, I’m a bit of […]

This was going to be a big boy episode. I was going to discuss the recent events over in Egypt and the impact that Hosni Mubarak’s resignation will have on the West. And then, the dreaded pre-show dump jitters hit me. I tried my best to hold it in, because […]
Since it’s inception, I’ve been a pretty big Family Guy supporter. That is, until I caught the show’s Return of the Jedi parody, It’s a Trap, which might have fewer laughs in it than Sophie’s Choice. Cate and I sort out my conflicted feelings and answer the question: Does Family […]
