244 – The Death of Robin Hood is a Spiteful Mess

I am always up for an interesting new perspective on an old story. The Death of Robin Hood wasn’t interesting. It was bleak, depressing, violent, hopeless, historically inaccurate, and poorly lit. It doesn’t matter that very good actors were cast in this movie; even the best performances can’t save a horrible story.

243 – The US Bill of Rights

I was back in the USA for the big 250th birthday celebration, so here are some thoughts I had time to share about the US Bill of Rights. I also had a quick livestream on the Fourth of July to read the Declaration of Independence and chat with some of you!

242 – Supergirl’s Mom Is Disappointed in Her

Supergirl was produced by James Gunn, directed by Craig Gillespie, and directed by Ana Nogueira. I blame all three of them equally for this very, very bad movie. Millie Alcock was not the right choice for Supergirl but she’s just an actress doing a gig, so I don’t blame her. This film was such a raging disappointment that I needed to unleash my fury in the way that only a passive-aggressive mom can. Thanks for absolutely nothing, James Gunn.

241 – A Tea Party with George Orwell and Douglas Adams

Things have been crazy in the last few weeks, so let’s have a nice relaxing cup of tea with two great authors who wrote essays about Britain’s most beloved beverage: George Orwell and Douglas Adams. I will be reading what they had to say, sharing a cup of tea with you, and ranking my favorite British biscuits to serve with tea. Please vote on whether or not you all prefer to dunk biscuits or nibble on them separately from your tea, whether Bourbon Creams or Custard Creams are nicer, and how many minutes steeping produces the correct brew. Try sharing these brilliantly written articles with teenagers, and then encourage them to write their own remarks on the *PROPER* way to do a common task! See the full livestream here:
