As I sat down this morning, sipping my coffee and watching Bloomberg news, I started thinking about vibe shifts. It’s an odd term, right? But somehow, it perfectly captures what’s going on around us. These days, it feels like the vibes are shifting in all sorts of directions—sometimes […]
“I thought of making myself a beautiful wooden marionette. It must be wonderful—one that can dance, fence, and turn somersaults.” Now that is a quote that gets my mind spinning. I recently heard it while watching an episode of Grimm, and it struck me with its whimsical, slightly […]
“We shall see the crumbs of bread, and they will show us our way home again.” I read that quote at the beginning of an episode of Grimm recently, and for some reason, it hit me with a wave of nostalgia. For what? I’m not entirely sure. There’s […]
This past Sunday, I caught the tail end of an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning about movies and the elusive cinematic experience. The interviewee was discussing the shift in how we consume films—people are now averaging two movie theater visits a year, but they’re watching around seven […]
I recently stumbled upon an article, courtesy of a TikTok deep dive (don’t judge), that featured an interview with Friends star Matt LeBlanc. Now, while Joey Tribbiani might have been all about pizza and asking “How you doin’?”, it turns out real-life Matt is all about…doing nothing. And […]

So, the Razzie nominations are out, and I have to confess something a little wild: I’ve actually seen some of these dumpster fire films. Yes, the ones that were so bad they were honored with a Razzie nod. And yet, I haven’t watched a single Oscar-nominated movie this […]
“Spirits” by The Strumbellas caught my ear this morning as I shuffled through my Monday commute, and as I hummed along, I started thinking about the other kind of spirits — the ones in my head. No, not the ghostly kind, but the relentless scripts that run circles […]
You ever hear a phrase so often it starts to sound like gospel, even though you’ve got zero personal experience with whatever the heck they’re talking about? Yeah, me too. “That’s what they say, I wouldn’t know” has become a regular part of my inner (and outer) dialogue […]
