2021/04/01

You always knew you're a monster, deep down. You just assumed it was a figurative one - not a literal kaiju somehow stomping through Seoul on your way home from the bar.

Also, what kind of nightmare would you rather include the sass of the late, great Jessica Walter? Motion Picture Terror Scale: 2 (surprisingly). Quality: 4.

Blooper Reel!

2020/11/03

I don't always broadcast my mistakes. But, when I do, I prefer blooper reels. Hopefully, our comedy of errors will help make this election day a bit less stressful. Hold fast. Be patient.
