Cereal Review: Chocolate Toast Crunch
Written on December 11, 2014
in Reviews

For my money, Cinnamon Toast Crunch has always been the pinnacle of breakfast cereal perfection. It’s great in milk. It’s great dry. The last bits at the bottom of the bowl that have gotten soggy are amazing. The cinnamon-flavored milk when you’re done is the taste of victory (of a not so

Holiday season is here, and Cards Against Humanity is in full spirit again, this year offering 10 Days Or Whatever Of Kwanzaa! For the slightly more expensive price than last year of $15 (vs $12 last year), I will once again be getting numerous gifts in the mail throughout the month of

NOTE: Spoiler-free review, only mentioning points seen in the trailers. Dumb And Dumber is a movie I never really connected with as a kid. Loving the over the top physical humor Jim Carrey brought to Fire Marshall Bill on In Living Color, Ace Ventura and The Mask, I remember actually being pretty disappointed
Mike Tyson Mysteries: Better In Theory

When the first trailer for Mike Tyson Mysteries hit the internet, I was extremely excited for it. Completely out of context clips with Tyson, Jim Rash as a ghost, and Norm MacDonald as a talking pigeon had me on the floor laughing. When put into context of an actual episode, it does
Review: Marry Me (Pilot)

NBC has cracked the formula of how to get me to actually watch a romantic comedy: Make a member of The State one of the leading characters! Fill the show with other comedians I also find funny (Casey Wilson, Tim Meadows), and you’ve got me in for at least a couple episodes.

This review is spoiler-free, containing only plot points found in the trailers. Walking into The Book Of Life, I had a single expectation: A visually stunning movie. I’m happy to say that it exceeded my expectations in the visual department, and on top of that was so much more. The plot of
Thoughts On AHS: Freak Show (Spoilers)

I have enjoyed every season of American Horror story so far. Not generally being a fan of the horror genre, I was surprised at how much the show originally grabbed my attention. I still think that season one has been the strongest, but both Asylum and Coven were solid seasons as well.
Thoughts on The Flash pilot (Spoilers)

The Flash premiered last week on The CW, and proved (to me) that it is possible to launch a comic book-related show with a solid foundation in a single episode. Unlike the frustrations I’ve had so far with Gotham, everything about The Flash clicks together very easily, telling a full, coherent story in
Thoughts on Gotham (spoilers)

After watching the series premiere of Gotham last week, I struggled with my thoughts about it. I really wanted to like it, but just didn’t. At Pure Geekery Headquarters (not so much a physical location as a group chat on facebook), we kicked around the idea of writing two differing thoughts pieces
Review: Tim And Eric’s Bedtime Stories

Tim and Eric’s brand of humor is definitely an acquired taste. Whether long form, like Tom Goes To The Mayor, or short-form, like the minute long skits of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job, the situations are always extremely bizarre and absurd. Taking a turn at the horror genre, Tim and
