Every Wrestlemania Ranked from Best to Worst
We typically like to stay out of sports but professional wrestling walks that fine line of athleticism and entertainment more readily than any other industry. Plus it's hard not to pay homage to our video store heritage without acknowledging the pivotal role that renting Wrestlemania VHS tapes every weekend played into the bygone movie rental era. Enough rationalizing, here's our extensive breakdown of the Best and Worst Wrestlemanias of All Time. #42. Wrestlemania IX Highlig

Every I Think You Should Leave Sketch Ranked from Best to Worst (updated with Season 3)
#79. Choking Season 1, Episode 5 There are a lot of I Think You Should Leave bits that can be boiled down to just Tim being a liar and then going to the most ridiculous lengths imaginable to uphold said lie, through seemingly insurmountable levels of escalating tension. But as Tim's character tries to conceal the fact that he's choking to avoid looking foolish in front of his favorite actor-musician-designer, Caleb Went, the tension kind of crumbles under Tim's bad acting in

Every Stunt from the Jackass Movie Series Ranked from Best to Worst
After a decade of silence, the inevitable return of the Jackass saga is finally upon us. And as you would celebrate any comedic achievement in excellence, we've taken it upon ourselves to revisit the entire film series (FOH Bad Grandpa...) and rank every stunt in the Jackass Cinematic Universe from Best to Worst. Now updated with stunts from Jackass Forever, here's where every bit in the 20 year legacy ranks: #155. The Fortune Teller (Jackass: The Movie) By the time Jackass m

Year in Tiers 2023 - Corn Flakes
As an adult, the instances where I find myself eating cereal are so few and far between that I can really only go for my absolute favorites when the opportunity presents itself. Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Apple Jacks. Golden Grahams. Fruity Pebbles. Frosted Flakes. I'd NEVER take regular ass Corn Flakes as my #1 pick in the Breakfast Cereal Draft. They're perfectly fine. You won't starve. But nobody's picking Corn Flakes over anything else. These are the perfectly fine, but not a

Year in Tiers 2023 - The 1990's Atlanta Braves
There was a TON of awesome music released this year. So much so that our "good, but not great" tier was almost our largest collection of records. But that middle tier always swallows up the majority. Just barely this year though. And to signify sustained excellence without quite reaching dynastic status, we've chosen the 1990's Atlanta Braves to represent the incredible records that came up just a little short of championship pedigree. But make no mistake, like those perpetu

Year in Tiers 2022 - Jim Gaffigan
Our most densely populated tier in 2022 is a collection of perfectly average, moderately enjoyable, entirely serviceable content. Like take for instance, Jim Gaffigan. He's fine. He's nobody's favorite comedian but when it comes to stand-up, you can certainly do a lot worse. So enjoy this plentiful bounty of Jim Gaffigan level entertainment. #67. Devotion It's really hard being the OTHER film about fighter pilots in the year of Top Gun: Maverick. And weirdly enough, "Hangman"

Year in Tiers 2022 - Kane
Even though he had a pretty solid professional wrestling career, a couple of title runs and was technically inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame ( who isn't though? ); Kane was never really a headlining act. He had a pretty awesome look and had plenty of kick ass moments but thanks to the fact that he was introduced as The Undertaker's little brother - he never really escaped the shadow that cast upon him. And so these are the equally impressive - but not quite "BEST EVER" qual

Year in Tiers 2021 - Hershey Bar
The Middle Tier finds the inoffensive, middle of the road films that can best be described as average or slightly above. Fine. Like a Hershey Bar. There have been so many improvements on the candy bar at this point that a simple chocolate bar pales in comparison. It's still chocolate, it's just not anything to get all that excited about. It'll float around in the candy jar until all the better options are taken. #59. The Tragedy of Macbeth Maybe it's just the apple+ logo that

Year in Tiers 2021 - The Eli Mannings
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

2020: The Year in Tiers - The Middle
The middle tier of our yearly recap finds the middle of the road, serviceable yet flavorless efforts that are good enough but not all that remarkable. Like a tall glass of tap water. It'll clench your thirst but it's hardly anyone's first drink of choice. #46. Color Out of Space Yet another glowing love letter to the b-horror 1980's, Color Out of Space does very little to differentiate itself from the ever growing sub-genre of nostalgia horror. But aside from the synth heavy

2020: The Year in Tiers - The Good
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

The Best (and Worst) Films of 2019: The Middle
This third tier is the "Just Fine" group of average or slightly above flicks that are passable but it wouldn't be the end of the world if you never got around to seeing them. Basic but filling. Like a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich. #57. Just Mercy As heartbreaking as the true story is, this courtroom drama drags on well past it's welcome. Michael B. Jordan and Brie Larson feel utterly wasted and the predictable plot lacks any energy or passion whatsoever. It's such a painf

The Best Albums of 2019: The Top 10
We've finally arrived at the top tier of this year's releases. The Top 10 Records of 2019. The best of the best, undisputed heavyweight champions of the world. The standard for all future generations to be measured against. The Jordans. #10. Heavy Banding by Slingshot Dakota Heavy Banding illustrates the journey of Slingshot Dakota wonderfully and finds the group finally finding peace with carving out their own space in the industry instead of trying to fit into it. Which is

The Best (and Worst) Albums of 2019: The Runners Up
The Second Tier is made up of some truly remarkable records but still aren't quite the best of the best. These are the runner ups. The second bananas. Lex Luger was a hell of a pro wrestler in the peak of the Monday Night Wars but he was never really a top line attraction compared to his contemporaries. Meet this year's Lex Lugers: #39. Ultra St. Opera by Jupiter Styles Jupiter Styles delivers an incredibly ambitious pop punk record that's so soft and catchy that it's tough t

The Best (and Worst) Albums of 2019: The Middle
This third tier introduces us to a solid crop of releases that are average or slightly above. These are mostly good records that just aren't necessarily standouts. Like a restaurant soft serve vanilla ice cream cone. I mean who doesn't love ice cream? It's just not really anybody's first choice... #64. No Holiday by The Muffs The Muffs have always held a special place in my heart. I don't know what it is about their simplistic formula that always puts a smile on my face but K

The Best (and Worst) Albums of 2019: Nic Cage
Tier 4 is full of albums that aren't terrible by any means but aren't really that good either. These are records with some entertaining qualities that can make them more listenable than the absolute worst options, if you're desperate enough. You can easily find something to like about these but overall, they are sub-par. Much like the work of Mr. Nicolas Cage. #105. Mother Nature by The Dangerous Summer There's an aura of pretense and levity attached to this record that never

The Best (and Worst) Albums of 2019: The Bottom Tier
With the overwhelming abundance of media being released every passing year, it's hard to definitively say what the absolute best and worst pieces of music released were with any degree of certainty. So to keep our year in review a little more organized we've divided the records we've listened to into 5 tiers - this bottom tier contains the worst albums we actually took the time to listen to, although I'm positive there were much worse records released out there. These are the
