To think this could have been my life. Or at least the life I imagined for myself. Because I’m an unrealistic punk who has none of the smarts, chutzpah or general lack of scruples needed to make it in Hollywood. At least to the levels to which our characters climb. …
I’m honestly not even sure how we ended up watching The Residence. I think there was somehow a lull in our TV schedule and it slipped in as a planned background watch. The problem, as I’ve stated many times, is that I’m bad at not watching whatever is in front …
Ms. Hipster and I never call shows we watch by their real name. This one we called Confused President. Or sometimes Confused De Niro. They’re never creative titles. Just ones that pretty much describe what happens in the series. Simple, straight-forward titles that we both recognize easily. Because we too …
This album makes me wonder what Ugly Kid Joe is up to these days. And, look, I’m not saying Origami …

This is what happens when I’m on a plane and there’s an A24 section in the in-flight entertainment screen. I click on some movie called Problemista that I’ve never heard of and wouldn’t have had I not had five or six hours to kill. The trailer looked whimsical and weird …
The only word I can think of for The Gorge is slapdash. I’m not saying the people who ended up creating and producing it didn’t put in the effort, but beyond the main conceit, there is so much sloppiness, so many dead-end story points and absolutely so many nonsensical decisions …
I’ve somehow gone my entire life without reading an Elmore Leonard novel. Sure, I’ve seen the multitude of his books and stories that have been adapted for film and TV, but I’ve never sat down and read his prose. Which is weird, considering that the mix of all that makes …
Yessir, this one sat in the queue for quite a while. In retrospect, I’m not certain why. Maybe it’s the intimidation factor of reading a Pulitzer Prizer-winning novel. Looking back, this would make the seventeenth or so winner for fiction I’ve read, so it’s not as if it’s a foreign …
I was a fan of Reply All. And was in the middle of my glory with it when “The Test …
Psychogenic illness is fascinating. Mass psychogenic illness is even more interesting. Such was the case in Leroy, NY when a whole group …
I am a child of the 90s. Okay, I’m a young adult of the 90s. Which makes me perfectly situated …

We guess college students need a place to watch sports too. Of course it’s not as if NYU students are …
There are few things that travel worse than thin crust pizza. Nachos come to mind. And smoothies. And maybe fondue. …
I don’t know much about women’s shoes. Ok, I’ll go out on a limb and say I know nothing about …

Enter through the rear. That’s what she said! Hahahaha. Okay, not funny. But neither is the fakeout DelMonico throws at …
The hope is that Bloomfield Ave. in Montclair will eventually be filled with restaurants opened by former Manhattan chefs. With …
Stephen Colbert. Ever heard of him? Well, he’s a local and apparently likes this joint. So much so that he …
Back when The Hipsters lived in NYC we ate a ton of Thai food. There was a joint called Jasmine …
Yay, birthday party pizza! Which I think is where most of the children of Montclair were indoctrinated by Mr. Dino …
