Who The Hell Keeps Calling Me?
On October 25th, while dancing at a wedding, my phone lit up with texts and calls from friends, letting me know I'd been doxxed by Gamergate. Since that initial posting, I've received death threats in the mail and over the phone, had my credit card and several online accounts compromised...

How An Evil Artificial Intelligence And A Team Of Nerds Make Impossible Booze In LA’s Spookiest Distillery
Sponsored
In 2013, Wynn Sanders was working with a few friends at a small distillery in Northern California. Sanders, the sort of lab scientist that central casting would send you if you asked for a “lab scientist type”, was trying to crack the code of how to age liquor without some of the fundamental requirements of that process. The distillery he and his friends had opened for under $75,000 (which is not enough to open a distillery unless you are making some serious DIY short-cuts) was not ...

David Cross: "I Don't Do Anything For Shock Value"
When David Cross last went on a stand-up tour, Donald Trump hadn’t been elected president yet. The reality TV host’s political ambitions had already left a huge impact on Cross’s act, though. The co-creator of Mr. Show and co-star of Arrested Development called that 2016 jaunt the “Making America Great Again!” tour, and as our review of the Netflix special attests, it was a stridently political hour that dug in hard against the anti-intellectualism and demagoguery of the Republican party.

Thor: Ragnarok review
Disney
Thor: Ragnarok is proof that Marvel has finally allotted space for a new cinematic voice to take total control over one of its franchises in desperate need of change.
Ragnarok is a doodle notebook full of teenage daydreams, a neon-infused fantasy of what superhero films could look like. There are gigantic monsters and beautiful women; zombie armies and a big spooky dog; an evil witch and Jeff Goldblum, but this isn’t just a wacky movie made for the sake of wackiness. Ragnarok is the ch...

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle review
Jumanji was a board game that begat a 1995 film of same name in which Robin Williams has to save a bunch of children from Mother Nature retaking their upper-class suburb. Later, Zathura (2005) served as a weird spiritual sequel, but set in space.
The story of a board game with some weird cinematic tie-ins, which mostly existed in the days of different terrible stages of CGI, seems like an odd property to receive a sequel in 2017. From announcement to first trailer, I was dismissive with audib...
