Eli Manning was a very good NFL quarterback. The dude won two Superbowls and did so beating one of the best quarterback / head coach duos of all time in Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. TWICE. But he's always going to be in the shadow of his older brother Peyton. He's good, but not an all time great. This tier is dedicated to Eli. #39. GLOW ON by Turnstile While it would have been easy for Turnstile to churn out another collection of ass-whooping mosh pit anthems for their third

We've classified the middle tier of this year's recap as the Ramen Noodles. Not bad, filling, and easy to consume - these are the albums that wont inspire much fanaticism, but they'll keep you from starving if you can't afford something with a little more flavor. #76. Crawler by Idles Idles returns with a quick recovery effort in the intentionally understated "Crawler", which contains much less pomp and circumstance than last year's " Ultra Mono " but is also undeniably drab

The next tier in our 2021 recap is composed of albums that aren't necessarily terrible, but are definitely far from perfect. If you're desperate enough you can find something to like about them but for the most part, this is subpar entertainment. Much like the Fast and Furious franchise. There are worse ways to kill 2 hours but sometimes watching a Hot Wheels movie made for UFC zealots isn't all that bad. #106. Let The Bad Times Roll by The Offspring The Offspring have always

I love listening to music. Even stuff that I don't gel with, I love exploring new material and dissecting what I do or don't like about it. There's no desire to gatekeep or taste-make, just share my bare naked opinions and open a discussion on where the current zeitgeist of musical evolution is headed. So I always like to preface The "Worst of the Year" recap section with the sentiment that obviously, there are probably much worse albums out there than these. But I don't nece

With Jordan Peele's take on Candyman finally hitting the big screen and reboots, re-quels, re-imaginings and remakes no longer considered a hate crime against the horror genre - here are our nominees for the Top 10 films that could benefit from a modern day update. #10. Phantasm directed by Gareth Evans starring Logan Marshall-Green as Jody Thomas Jane as Reggie Noah Schnapp as Mike Doug Jones as The Tall Man Don Coscarelli's 1979 cult classic has all the makings of a horror

As the Fourth of July weekend approaches, we've decided to celebrate our Independence Day by spotlighting our country's two biggest exports - war and entertainment. Here are the Top 10 intersections of War and Film. Also, gotta add that Thin Red Line, Full Metal Jacket, and 1917 were our honorable mentions - all bad ass films in their own right but this top 10 is absolutely stacked. #10. Team America: World Police Nothing cuts down to inane absurdity of post 9/11 war on terro

With Father's Day upon us, we've gone and archived the Top 10 Film Fathers of All Time. There are dozens of TV sitcom dads to choose from (I don't know if I could even pick my favorite of the 4 Modern Family dads tbh) but this list is strictly MOVIE DADS ONLY. And no Darth Vader doesn't count, he went on a tyrannical galactic reign before he decided to keep the Emperor from murdering his own son. #10. John Ritter as Ben Problem Child While Problem Child is definitely the most

As 2023 is set to bestow upon us a sixth Scream, fifth Evil Dead, second Nun (which is like the ninth movie in the Conjuring universe I think...), tenth Saw, and fifth Exorcist movie - I figured now was a good time to revisit our list of the Top 10 Horror Sequels of All Time. And I gotta mention also, I was incredibly close to bumping out 28 Weeks Later for Terrifier 2 but I'm gonna let it sit for a while and see if I can avoid any recency bias I may be experiencing. But it's

Since the success of AMC's The Walking Dead, zombies have had a huge resurgence within the horror genre over the past decade so we've decided to take a look back at the Best Zombie Movies of All Time: #10. Zombieland There's always been something kind of funny about the living dead, once you get passed the whole undying hunger for human flesh thing. Ruben Fleischer takes you on a road trip across a post-apocalyptic zombie outbreak with an incredible ensemble cast featuring Wo

Our top tier is a little smaller than normal and this is exactly why we don't stick to a top 10 list. Some years, there just really aren't 10 great films released. Last year we extended it to 12. But 2020 wreaked havoc on Hollywood, shuffling releases all over the calendar and limiting the vast majority of their output to at home releases. Which meant very little tent pole blockbusters and a scattered roll out of award contenders that felt very much like studios were holding

The 2nd tier in our Year in Tiers recap consists of the runners up. Quality films that just don't quite get the same shine the marquee stars do. Sidekicks. Like good ol' Scottie Pippen. He's a phenomenal #2 (maybe the best ever) but he's just not a #1. Plain and simple. #23. The Devil All The Time A dark look at the gritty underbelly of the old South with an absolutely stacked ensemble cast, The Devil All The Time is a fairly captivating crime drama that can't quite tie toget

The final tier of our 2020 recap is the tip of the mountain top, best of the best, undisputed heavyweight champions of the world. The standard all future generations will be measured against, I give you - The Seinfelds. #10. Inlet by Hum The most improbable comeback story of the year, Hum returns after a 22 year gap between albums and it's as seamless as you could possibly imagine. Fuzzy sick riffs on top of fuzzy sick riffs, "Inlet" is music to get high and head bang yoursel

The 4th tier finds our good, not great entries - The Runners Up. Nothing to be ashamed of, these records are just missing that extra punch to put them over the top. Like Arby's. Love Arby's. But it's not like anyone on death row is asking for their last meal to consist of a Beef N Cheddar. Curly fries maybe... #40. Columbus by Terminal Crush Grey Gordon (of Kill Surf City, Wickerwolves, Parasitic Twins, Karloff, and well...Grey Gordon) debuts his latest musical endeavor with

In the third tier we find the average, or slightly above records that couldn't quite separate themselves from the middle of the pack. Much like 90's WWF Superstar The British Bulldog, these albums never really achieve greatness but are serviceable middle card entertainment nonetheless. #72. Welcome to Bobby's Motel by Pottery There's an undeniable dance-ability to the kinetic acid funk rhythms on display here, just a disappointing lack of substance underneath it all. Especial

The next tier in our 2020 recap is composed of bad, yet not terrible efforts. If you're desperate enough for some entertainment you'll likely find redeemable qualities scattered throughout but deep down in your gut you know what you're consuming isn't fully on the level. Much like the early quarantine bingeworthy docu-series, these are The Tiger Kings. #100. May You Be Held by SUMAC The further SUMAC strays away from it's raw industrial debut and continues to sink into improv

With the unrelenting shitshow that 2020 bestowed upon us, it's hard to really pinpoint the lowest of lows. But for me, I think I'll always remember the night when our country took a break from mismanaging a global pandemic and began burning from coast to coast in a cultural civil war while the commander and chief instigator turned off the lights and hid under his bed like a little kid waiting for mom and dad to come home and save him from the closet monster. Now I always like

After a fairly dreadful decade of horror in the 2000's, the 2010's saw a resurgence of original premises and groundbreaking first time filmmakers flourishing in a low budget / high concept creative safe haven that held it's own against the tent-pole franchise frenzy of superhero cinema. Here were this decade's best horror films: #20. Fright Night The incredible ensemble of Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, David Tennant and Imogeen Poots n

In a decade that will likely be looked back upon for it's franchise frenzied, superhero spectacle tent-pole films and the dawn of the binge streaming age; the 2010's featured a bevy of incredible films as well. It was surprisingly difficult to narrow the list down to just twenty, with runners up like the only signature comedy film of the decade (Bridesmaids), Richard Linklater's 12 year encapsulation of growing up in modern America (Boyhood), 2 new testaments to the genius of

With the most triumphant release of Bill and Ted Face the Music hitting this Friday, we've taken a look back at the most non non non heinous third entries into a series. From Last Crusades to Beyond Thunderdomes, these are the Top 10 Number 3's of All Time: #10. Rocky III For a series that's essentially built around a dopey underdog winning a big fight after a musical training montage, the Rocky series is surprisingly consistent. Part III is no different, this time introducin

Recently we tackled the Top 10 video games that should be adapted into feature films but with the release of Predator: Hunting Grounds, we started thinking about the flip side of that coin and which films would be best suited to receive the video game treatment. I get some of these have already been tackled but I'm talking about something a little more substantive than the Robocop NES game here, alright? #10. Planet Terror We really haven't had too many horror franchises in
