First off I want to make it clear, I'm a nobody in the industry. I'm a low ranking employee at a big company. However, for some reason, I'm asked all the time about getting people jobs. I like helping people and I do on the occasion, but every once in a while I get a request that infuriates me…
There is nothing worse than starting to write and actually getting something down. Personally, I prefer to distract myself with a million different things to make sure that I don't accomplish anything. I mean, why write when you can catch up on shows that you've been meaning to watch?…
I want to start by saying that I'm the kind of person who wants every movie to be great. I genuinely cheer for filmmakers, actors, and studios when I sit in a theater. I went into Fantastic Four hoping for the best. What I got was a movie that doesn't know what it wants to be…
So here's the thing about Ant-Man — it's a genuinely fun movie. Yes, it borrows liberally from the Iron Man playbook. Yes, the villain is underdeveloped. But if you can get past that, what you're left with is a charming, funny, and surprisingly well-crafted superhero film…

I'm a Christian. I'm also a comedian. These two things collide in interesting ways. What I've noticed is that there's a growing trend among Christians to get offended — publicly and loudly — over things that are, in the grand scheme of things, pretty minor…
Another Thursday, another monologue joke. Keeping it short and punchy this week…
If you're not watching Arrow and The Flash yet, you are genuinely missing out. Here's my honest, no-spoilers pitch for both shows and why they've become essential viewing for anyone who loves good superhero storytelling on television…
Being ADHD is supposed to make you energetic, impulsive, always "on." Being an introvert means you recharge by being alone and find too much social stimulation draining. So what happens when you're both? You get a very confused person who desperately wants alone time but then can't sit still when they get it…
Self-promotion is a necessary evil in comedy. You can be the funniest person in the room, but if nobody knows you exist, it doesn't matter. Here are four ways comedians promote themselves — some good, some genuinely cringeworthy…
This is my definitive, thoroughly researched, and completely objective list of reasons why Beer Mug should absolutely be fired. You're welcome, internet…
I didn't grow up a runner. I became one by accident, and now I can't imagine my life without it. Running gives you something that's hard to find in modern life — pure, uninterrupted time alone with your thoughts and nothing else demanding your attention…
Today we’re trying out #TheoreticallyThursday and living in a “what if” world. What if the endings of I Am Legend and Spider-Man 2 had been different? Would the movies have been more popular? A few thoughts on alternate endings…
