I've been a lifelong over-indulger of pop culture, from movies to music to television to books, so I figured I'd start writing about it if only to stay literate.
Veep (Season 1) (2012)

Jim Gaffigan: Cinco (2017)
I can’t quite put my finger on it but there seems to be something missing from Jim Gaffigan’s latest special. The affable comic goes over

Another strong season for the ongoing sitcom, which has, at this point, become shocking for its own sake. It doesn’t necessarily distract from a string
Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not particularly well-versed in the Marvel Universe, having seen a few of the early Marvel superhero movies
Family Guy (Season 8) (2009)
