Say what you'd like about Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, but one thing is for sure: the guy never puts out the same vibe twice. And that, my friends, is a rare and wonderful thing in a world bubbling over with cookie-cutter, radio-friendly flashes in the pan. Bad Witch is the culmination of a … Continue reading Nine Inch Nails – Bad Witch Review
A Perfect Circle isn't trying to mince words on Eat the Elephant, their first wholly original effort since 2003, nor are they trying to hide the fact that Elephant drips with political verse and imagery -- from the on-the-nose cover and title it should come as no surprise to anyone giving this badboy a listen. … Continue reading A Perfect Circle – Eat the Elephant Fidget Review
by J.D. Firneno The morning was gray and cold, covered by a blanket of pregnant dark clouds which appeared to undulate in the sky and gathered in the far corners of the boundless horizon. Dorkuss Do-Nerdin could sense the imminent rain in the moist air, could smell it with his heightened bright smelf senses. For … Continue reading The Super Serious Legend of Dorkuss Do-Nerdin: Back Again to the Undercaves (Again)
There are some movies and shows you just can't watch more than once a year. American History X, Schindler's List, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest are just a few that come to mind. Now you can safely put Wind River in the same sentence as those aforementioned pieces, and that's not a bad … Continue reading Wind River Fidget Review
Very loosely based on an actual well-dressed English street gang in the late 1800's (though the show takes place in the early 1900's) Peaky Blinders tells the tale of the Shelby family and their criminal aspirations. We're talking everything from "protection" and blackmail to deceit and secret selling. It's your typical criminal stuff but it … Continue reading Peaky Blinders (Netflix) Season 1 Fidget Review
The Gunslinger is the first book of The Dark Tower series, a seven-book cycle penned by Stephen King. And it's been around for a very long time. I, however, finally just got around to finishing it and like another piece of entertainment I wrote a review on this week, it's making me wonder what the … Continue reading The Gunslinger: The Dark Tower I (Novel) Fidget Review
Consisting only of 3 episodes, the first season of Black Mirror packs one heck of a punch. The show takes on an anthology format, enlisting new actors to paint a different picture with each episode -- and boy, that picture is almost always bleak and extremely thought-provoking. Most episodes explore the dangers of technological dread … Continue reading Black Mirror (Netflix) Season 1 Fidget Review
Almost two decades after its initial release in 1999, I've finally played through this vaunted RPG, and it's most definitely left a mark. Planescape: Torment (Enhanced Edition) is the one game I would invite a video game detractor to play. It plays like a very well-written (I can't emphasize this point enough!) graphic novel in … Continue reading Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition Fidget Review (Two Decades Later)
They just don't make RPGs like Kingdom Come: Deliverance anymore. Warhorse Studios, however, decided to go all-in and create one of the deepest medieval roleplaying games in recent memory. In fact, the only game that comes to mind that rivals the level of depth and realism found here would probably be Bethesda's (now ancient and outdated) Daggerfall. … Continue reading Kingdom Come: Deliverance Fidget Review
What happens when four friends go hiking through the remote mountains of Sweden, as they honor one of their dead mates? The Ritual is a heart-pounding adventure -- especially in its first three-quarters or so -- which explores that very subject matter. And while the last portion of the movie doesn't always hit home, it … Continue reading The Ritual (Netflix) Fidget Review
by Nick Beard January 28, 2018 Move over, Oprah and Trump. We have a new contender in town. The impossibly cool and collected Night King has (silently of course) announced his intentions to run for president in 2020, hot off the heels of the final season of Game of Thrones, in which he will also … Continue reading The Night King Announces 2020 Presidential Run
Blade Runner 2049 paints a very grim, rainy picture of the near future -- filled with extremely lifelike AI companions, flying cars, product advertisements that quite literally invade your personal space, and a race of hyper-repressed robots programmed for complete obedience, called replicants. Ryan Gosling plays Officer K, one such replicant. His job is to … Continue reading Blade Runner 2049 Fidget Review
by Chauncey Bigbottoms III January 20, 2018 Surprise! Matt Lauer and Harvey Weinstein, with all of their newfound free time, have announced the opening of "Lock and Key," a new locked room haunted house game with a twist. The dynamic duo's creepy house will be an abandoned 4-bedroom 3-bath located somewhere in the middle of … Continue reading Matt Lauer and Harvey Weinstein Partner to Open New Locked Room Game With a Twist
Okay, okay, this released way back in 2014 but I just happened upon it the other night, and by the Lord of Darkness, I'm so glad I did. What We Do in the Shadows is a mockumentary about a group of vampires living as flatmates in New Zealand and their struggle to blend into normal … Continue reading What We Do In The Shadows Fidget Review
With a name like The End of the F***ing World, you'd expect something a little different than the average Netflix offering, and with this show that's exactly what you get. Apparently based on a comic book by Charles Forsman, the show tells the tale of two angsty teens each in the middle of their own … Continue reading The End of the F***ing World (Netflix) Fidget Review
It's difficult for most shows to maintain their momentum over the course of 13 episodes, and while The Punisher does have moments that feel a bit flat, Jon Bernthal's performance as Frank Castle aka "The Punisher" is razor sharp and carries the show even at its lowest points. He brings the proper amount of torment … Continue reading The Punisher (Netflix) Season 1 Fidget Review

January 10, 2018 LaVar Ball is in an uproar in the wake of 2018's Golden Globes awards, insisting that his unborn daughter, Lozenge Ball, should have won the award for Best Actress instead of Saoirse Ronan.

Trump, who dubs himself T-Rump in the liner notes of the new record, says he recorded the album over the last two years … Continue reading Trump Drops Savage Diss Track ‘Finger on the Button’.
