So last night around this time I was in Texas with Aaron and my old professor Dr. Rodriguez talking about ‘Trojan War’ and the Business and life. I’m familiar with Southern hospitality because of my roots but it was still a fun night for myself and Aaron and judging by the immediate feedback it […]
KIMMEL: And here to present tonight’s final award, from ‘Wet Hot American Summer: 10 Years Later’ Malik Aziz, and the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. (Malik and Obama walk on to the stage. There’s a fifteen minute standing ovation, shattering Chaplin’s record.) OBAMA: Thank you. West Texas outlaws. An African-American homosexual […]

Nominated for Best Documentary Short this year at the Academy Awards, ‘The White Helmets’ takes the audience (especially in America) a front row seat to a place we hear about daily on the news but don’t actually experience. The White Helmets are a voluntary rescue group in Syria who go into the heart of […]
To you, he will probably always be Aragorn from ‘Lord of the Rings’. To me, he’s always Lalin, the pretty boy pimp snitch from ‘Carlito’s Way’.
