Anyone that knows me knows that I love Scrubs. It’s one of those shows that I tend to always be in the mood for and that I rewatch at least once or twice ever year. And a lot of why I think Scrubs is such a great show is because of how it’s creator and…

Oh man, Rocky IV… This is when the series really got out there. I’ve long held the belief that this is not a good movie, even though it’s such a delightful moviegoing experience. And after rewatching it the other night, after reading about Sylvester Stallone’s intention to recut the movie (without the totally realistic, common…

What’s up everyone, it’s one of your faithful co-hosts here, Raekwon. I know it’s been a while, but I am going to talk to you all about one of my favorite movies of all time. Rush Hour! Well not exactly, I am going to be talking comparing Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon. In an older…
