Year in Tiers 2023 - Tony Romo
Before any of you Tony Romo fanboys get your panties in a bunch, I'm of the opinion that if the Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hadn't waited until Tony's spine collapsed to give him some protection with a decent offensive line, Romo would have had a much different career. It's just that by the time Dallas stopped spending all of their resources on receivers and finally drafted some stellar lineman, the damage had already been done and Dak Prescott was there to swoop in and take th

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

The Top 10 Nicolas Cage Movies of All Time (no seriously)
While Nicolas Cage has become something of a mythical living meme machine, it's easy to forget the dude has some legitimate gems under his belt buried in his ever growing filmography. These aren't the "so bad, they're good" list of the most unhinged Nicolas Cage experiences (although it's hard to post a list of Nic Cage films and not even mention Vampire's Kiss or Face-Off); but instead these are The Best Nic Cage Films of All Time. Seriously. Honorable Mention: Leaving Las V

Year in Tiers 2022 - Joey Chestnut
The final group in our 2022 Year in Tiers recap finds the absolute best of the best, industry standards we'll hold up for future generations to be measured against for years to come. These are the icons. The legends. Like 15 time Hot Dog Eating Champion and the renowned World Record holder for downing 76 hot dogs in 12 minutes - these are the indomitable, Joey Chestnuts of film. #6. Terrifier 2 Yet another instance of a sequel magnifying everything great about it's predecesso

Year in Tiers 2021 - Kelly Rowland
Listen, I mean no disrespect to Kelly Rowland. She's an incredibly talented and beautiful young woman. She even made me giggle a few times in the critically adored Freddy v.s. Jason. But next to Beyonce, we ALL pale in comparison. This tier is dedicated to her and all the runners up out there not quite dynamic enough to flourish on the grandest stage. #33. Those Who Wish Me Dead Taylor Sheridan's latest throwback, neo-western thriller finds Angelina Jolie protecting a young b

2020: The Year in Tiers - The Best
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

2020: The Year in Tiers - The Good
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

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 Bad
Tier 4 finds the decidedly bad but not unwatchable movies of the year. And since 2020 had us all locked inside with very little to do, it's more than likely we found ourselves lowering our standards for some cheap entertainment. Which is probably why this is 2020's largest tier. We were all like a kid staying home sick from school, channel surfing day time television for the least worst options. And nothing says least worst daytime television like Maury. #74. Bloodshot I'm ho

2020: The Year in Tiers - The Worst
It's a couple of months later than usual so that we could include all of the 2020 Oscar eligible films released, but here we are with the first installment of our Year in Tiers recap of the Best and Worst films 2020 had to offer. As always, I'll preface this with the note that obviously there are some dogshit terrible films out there that didn't make this list but these are the worst films we actually took the time to finish and intrigued us enough to seek them out in the fir
