After falling immediately in love with White Reaper’s latest album, Asking for a Ride, I decided I couldn’t wait a whole month to see them play live near me. Thus, Friday evening I took a little drive down to Columbus to catch them with a friend!

Almost all of this weekend’s viewings were winners.
Read moreBook Review: How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix
I know I’m still not totally caught up with Grady Hendrix’s entire bibliography, but I jumped at the chance to get his latest, How to Sell a Haunted House, at my local library the second I could. Coming as no surprise, it did not disappoint.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Benedict Cumberbatch
Over the course of many years I’ve come to appreciate Benedict Cumberbatch. Top of the list is last year’s Power of the Dog and August: Osage County. So now you get a drawing. Enjoy!
Read moreGeorge & Tammy – Miniseries Review
I might be as shocked as you are that I subjected myself to a miniseries detailing the careers of country music royalty, George Jones and Tammy Wynette. Truly, I despise country music, but I love Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain, so I decided to give George & Tammy a fair shake before my Showtime subscription ran out.
Read moreWhite Reaper – Asking for a Ride, Album Review
Ohhhh, I’m pretty excited! The last time White Reaper put out a new album it was pre-pandemic and I also missed seeing them open for The Killers at a free show for MLB’s All-Star Weekend. Beyond bummed. But, it’s a new year and the band have just released their fourth full-length album, Asking for a Ride. And, oh yeah, I get to see them twice this year!

It’s that time of year again! Even though the Sundance Film Festival is finally taking place in person again, I am thankful that they’ve kept an online component. Sure, a lot of the films in the Premieres category weren’t available for online viewers, but I still managed to stuff my schedule with nine options for one weekend. I even found something worthwhile to get an Explorer pass this year! Take a look at all the treasures from the festival I got to enjoy (mostly).

I believe I bought this book on a discounted whim probably over a year ago. In an effort to work through books I own, Katie Moretti’s Girls of Brackenhill intrigued me the most on my shelf.
Read moreAmerican Rust – Season 1 Review
With my black Friday deal of Showtime coming to a close, I decided to squeeze in another show. I remember at the time thinking that American Rust was Showtime’s attempt at Mare of Easttown. It might have been, but it sure didn’t live up to it.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Panic! at the Disco
It’s the end of an era, folks. The other day, remaining and sole (?) member of Panic! at the Disco, Brendon Urie, announced the band’s end as he chooses to focus on his family. I wasn’t too surprised that this once dominant four-piece finally puttered out. Sure, the pop masses still ate up anything he offered, but I tapped out a few albums ago. There were decent songs here and there, but nothing can match the brilliance that was their debut into the world, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. I remember hearing “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” at thirteen and just getting the coolest feeling. I immediately sought out the record, and luckily my parents didn’t investigate too far into it and bought it for me. I’ve seen them live at least four times over the course of my life and I just hope that if someday the band gets resurrected that we get the lineup of that era, but for now, I will reflect and be happy.
