Song of the Day – ‘I Ain’t No Joke’
Our music this weeks starts with a belated birthday tribute to the man we still call ‘the God MC.’ Respect your roots. Enjoy!

‘The Shape of Water’
I get it. I get why this is the frontrunner. ‘The Shape of Water’ checks off so many boxes, even to a film geek like me. Non traditional love story? Check. Feels super original in the land of remaking everything? Check. Non verbal lead character? Check. Character actors who character actors worship (Michael Shannon […]
Song of the Day – ‘Touch Me Tease Me’
The weekend is upon us! So why not end this week with the double Academy Award nominated Mary J. Blige? Next Best Picture review Sunday night. Until then…
Song of the Day – ‘Sexy M.F.’
Listening to His Purple Highness all day, so this felt like the obvious choice. Prince. Do I need to say more? Enjoy!
Song of the Day – ‘She Drives Me Crazy’
Editor’s Note first: now that we know what’s what, my feelings are the Oscar nominated films I haven’t touched yet will start up again Sunday night. My reaction looking over the nominations this morning: there are some definite frontrunners (mostly in the acting categories), but I really don’t know who’s winning Best Picture. More […]
Song of the Day – ‘Step Into a World’
Let’s bring the music into this week. An oldie but goodie to start this week; I swear this song is the audio version of Sam Jackson beer to me. Soon as I hear the beat, the fists and elbows start swinging! Enjoy!
Who Am I?
On the weekend of the 2nd Women’s March, I thought I’d start this week by publicly acknowledging something I ‘borrowed’ from a woman… Somewhere down the line, I heard Kerry Washington uses this technique called ‘Who Am I?’ As you’ll see below, it’s a mini cheat sheet that, for actors at least, can quickly […]
Song of the Day – ‘Candy Rain (Remix)’
The weekend! I didn’t realize til this morning the Oscars nominations come out Tuesday, so we’ll take a few days off from the movie reviews and see how that falls. In the meantime, something upbeat to start the weekend. And I miss Heavy D. Have a good one gang!
‘The Florida Project’
Kind of a sad film, but another child star is born. ‘The Florida Project’ is set in Orlando, but this is the city that has nothing to do with Disney World. (A concept I love; I just had a conversation with a friend about what life could possibly be like for people who live […]
Song of the Day – ‘The Heart of Rock n Roll’
Here’s your musical palette cleanser as we’re already halfway through the week. I’m in good spirits so we’re going upbeat. (And now that I’m older, I appreciate the Chuck Berry and Little Richard references in this video.) Enjoy!
