So, evidently this is what it took to get me back into the theater for the first time since… Avengers: Endgame? Is that right? Wow… Anyway, I’ll be seeing this one later this evening, but I figured I’d toss this … Continue reading Spoil Sports- The Bob’s Burgers Movie
Today, the Day Thread pays tribute to a bygone institution of the DC nightlife: Founded as The Capital Ballroom in 1995, the club was the largest in the city at the time, initially concentrating on booking concerts that were, as … Continue reading The Capital Ballroom/Nation Day Thread
Well, it’s (finally) here. What do we think? Thoughts? Prayers? Hopes? Dreams? Current release date is May 27, 2022. Continue reading The Bob’s Burgers Movie Trailer Thread
Fourth Place: Missy Elliott Third Place: Wu-Tang Clan Second Place: Beastie Boys First Place: OutKast Big thanks to everyone who took part. Let’s do this again sometime. Continue reading 1990’s Hip-Hop/Rap Tournament: Results
Fittingly for a tournament that was almost entirely chalk for the first few rounds before going absolutely bugshit in the Round of 8, our Final Four kept the weirdness going with the loss of heavy tournament favorite Wu-Tang Clan. Outkast … Continue reading 1990’s Hip-Hop/Rap Tournament: The Finals
Well, this is what I get for pointing out this tournament’s almost total lack of upsets: three of our top four seeds went down this round, making for a pretty eclectic final four. Even so, this header belongs to an … Continue reading 1990’s Hip-Hop/Rap Tournament: The Final Four
Given the almost total lack of upsets so far in this tournament, at least just going off of the seeding, it’s probably not exactly accurate to apply the “Cinderella” label to anyone. If we were going to give it to … Continue reading 1990’s Hip-Hop/Rap Tournament: Round of 8
Well, as most of us predicted, a lot more close match-ups this time around. Of the fallen, the header this time goes to Cypress Hill, who beat Eminem before losing to DMX (the three artists of course making up the … Continue reading 1990’s Hip-Hop/Rap Tournament: Round Three
For the most part, Round One of this tournament was pretty much chalk across the board, with the winner being exactly who you might’ve guessed it would be, usually by a significant margin. Such is the lot of first-rounds in … Continue reading 1990’s Hip-Hop/Rap Tournament: Round Two
Part One is still open, but I wanted to go ahead and get Part Two up before the holiday. Both will stay open until I get back into town, probably on Saturday. Get to it. Header this time out is … Continue reading 1990’s Hip-Hop/Rap Tournament: Round One, Part Two
All right, the nominations are in and tallied up (and only a day after I said they would be…), and we received enough to fill out a full 64-seed bracket! Big thanks to everyone who nominated, even though I managed … Continue reading 1990’s Hip-Hop/Rap Tournament: Round One, Part One
I stopped and started this intro four or five times before I just gave it up. 90’s Hip-Hop doesn’t need an introduction from a suburban white dude from outside of a city that never had a rap contender. I have … Continue reading 1990’s Hip-Hop/Rap Tournament
Episode Grade: A– You’d think they’d have learned by now. You’d think it would have dawned on Bob and Linda that they are in no way a match for Louise, especially not when she has the sincere support of her … Continue reading Bob’s Burgers S11E13: “An Incon-Wheelie-ent Truth”
Episode Grade: B “We came so close to success, I smelled it. It smelled weird. Good weird.” By this point, we know that Bob’s Burgers has a weird relationship with success. The Belchers are in theory familiar with the concept, … Continue reading Bob’s Burgers: S11E11 “Romancing the Beef”
“It’s a Christmas miracle! We went really fast and also don’t look to closely at the quality of our work!” Episode Grade: B/B+ You’re not going to believe this, but there are some drawbacks to my usual routine reviewing Bob’s … Continue reading Bob’s Burgers S11E10: “Yachty or Nice”
Episode Grade: B- At this point in the series, there’s a certain amount of trepidation that comes with going into a Gene-and-Linda episode. Namely: when is the shouting going to start? As the two most, let’s say strident characters in … Continue reading Bob’s Burgers S11E09: “Mommy Boy”
Episode Grade: B- “So you’re saying that the way to show you I love you is to just let your parents be crappy?” How do you grade an episode that was mostly a fun ride, but whose final denouement just … Continue reading Bob’s Burgers S11E08: “The Terminalator II: Terminals of Endearment”
Episode Grade: B+ “Meh, I don’t want to be married to Courtney.” “OK. Tammy?” “I’ll take Mom.” “Ah, that’s a little…” “I am sick and I get what I want! Now, continue..” … And so Thanksgiving, that most hallowed of … Continue reading Bob’s Burgers S11E07: “Diarrhea of a Poopy Kid”
Episode Grade: B+/A- Before I get into any reviewing of tonight’s episode, I’d like to take a moment to acknowlege that this is Bob’s Burgers‘s 200th episode, both in terms of production order and airdate (as far as I can … Continue reading Bob’s Burgers S11E06: “Bob Belcher and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Kids”
Episode Grade: A– It’s Wagstaff, isn’t it? There’s just something about the school, and the various weirdos who attend and work there, that brings out the best in Bob’s Burgers. This is partially a result of the deep bench of … Continue reading Bob’s Burgers S11E05: “Fast Time Capsules at Wagstaff School”
Episode Grade: B+ There are times when I start to feel like maybe I watch too much Bob’s Burgers. That is to say, I’ve watched most episodes enough times that I remember (or maybe misremember) details that the writers have … Continue reading Bob’s Burgers S11E04: “Heartbreak Hotel-oween”
