It's tax day, which means it's time to ignore tax day. Let's talk about Covid's impact on Hollywood instead, which so far has been quite impactful.

It's time for your final exam, so put on your slippers and your Sunday worst. It's called comfort, mom. It's also called looking homeless, which is currently in vogue for some reason.

What's a blind melon? Like most weird band names, there seems to be multiple answers. We'll discuss two of them today, along with the rest of the band's legacy, especially Shannon Hoon. He wasn't around for very long, but he did enough living during that period to make up for it. He also documented almost all of it on video, giving us a rare, very …

It's over. The king is dead. CHOP had a king, right? Either way, you won't be hearing about it any more, because Seattle finally decided that a lawless maelstrom of rape and murder was something worth looking into. As bad as Minnesota is, at least we're not that bad. You can ask Officer Dave. Or more accurately you can listen to him.…

It's another week in 2020, and you know what that means: Hollywood and the media trying to one up themselves in being reprehensible. They're doing a pretty good job of keeping the decades-long streak going, but you do have to wonder what the long game is. They're already the best at it, and there are only so many abhorrent things you can say or do …

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Except for the constitution. We've amended the hell out of that. You can thank said amendments for important rights such as not being forced to turn your house into a barracks for the redcoats. Think of how often that would happen otherwise. Also there are some in there about voting and speech or…

Where are all the good movies? In the past, that's where. Is Hollywood creatively bankrupt, or is there just nothing left to create? Or both? Is it all about the money now?

For some reason, celebrities seem to have a lot of skeletons in their closets. Sometimes literally. The general mindset seems to be that if a person agrees with you now, all past transgressions are forgiven. Whether you call this charitable or cultish probably depends on whether or not you're the one being agreed with. One thing is for certain, how…
