Critical Wade Theory

I"ll talk about everything from politics to entertainment and philosophy. I"m also a part-time entertainment writer and working-class from the UP of Michigan, so that might come up occasionally. Oh, and I make weird experimental music and sometimes host a college radio show.

2026/03/13

Interview with Marc Klasfeld. He's directed music videos for tons of major artists, and now he has an adventure-horror movie called "Do Not Enter" from Lionsgate. It may look like I have a black eye in the video, but that's a danger of natural lighting, and I'm one of those people who have dark bags under their eyes. I suppose I could lie and claim I just got out of a rowdy fistfight, but that wouldn't be accurate.

I was going to make this episode 666, because we are talking "The Prince of Darkness," after all...but I couldn't keep this episode on the backburner any longer! In this episode, I look back at how Ozzy Osbourne made his mortality into a commercial punchline, and why I don't cringe too hard about it.

Critical Wade Theory ·

2026/03/03

Today I'm talking about Elysium, the 2013 sci-fi action film directed by Neill Blomkamp, the same filmmaker who gave us District 9.When the movie came out, Blomkamp said something that stuck with a lot of people. He pushed back on the idea that it was speculative science fiction. His point was simple: this isn’t about the future. It’s about right now.

2026/03/01

Today, I'm talking about something a lot of people quietly worry about. Could a sitting U.S. president override an election? Could one person nullify the vote and stay in power? Could you have goofy hair and orange skin, like some abysmal, apocalyptic hell clown who seems like everything wrong with this country personified?
