Picture this. The camera opens on Los Angeles, outside of a store called Record Surplus. National Treasure and Metal Dad Jack Black comes into focus. “Okay… Don’t say a word, just keep walking, we’re going in casual, okay? I’ll show it to you, but this is between us.” He tells you as you both walk into the store, adding, “They keep it way in the back, with the other rare stuff.” Now, we’re in the store. Black looks at the camera, mysteriously, “The kids that work here don’t k

Patriot Streaming on Amazon Prime You know that person that constantly tells you that you HAVE to start watching Breaking Bad, because it’s SUPER good? Well I hate to do it, but this show makes me become that person. It’s one of those shows that many people probably haven’t even heard about, and if someone told them to watch it they’d say “yeah, maybe I’ll start it soon”...but then they don’t.

Don’t listen to the haters, preseason is important because every team gets hit with the injury bug and most of those second and third string players will have to step up. If you’re as excited about football as I am you’re probably spending all your free time playing Madden, watching highlights, and doing research to prepare for your fantasy draft. Well let me add one more thing to that list. Long story short, Last Chance U is a N

Starring Michael Shannon as Elvis Presley and Kevin Spacey as President Richard Nixon. Currently streaming on Amazon Prime with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 77%. After recently signing up for Amazon Prime, I was gleefully scrolling through its contents, adding things I've never seen as well as things I'd like to re-watch to my "watch list." It didn't take long for me to stumble across Elvis and Nixon which I rented on Redbox last year. Back then I didn't have my hopes up, but b

Starring Aziz Ansari (Parks & Recreation) Seasons One and Two both streaming on Netflix. Earned a 100% review on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 9/10. A couple of years ago, I was scrolling through Netflix in my college dorm room on another Tuesday night when I stumbled upon Master of None. I had recently finished watching the show Community and was looking to dive into a new show. I had previously seen Aziz Ansari perform multiple stand-up sets on Youtube and Netfl
