HUMMEL Review: Don’t Look Up

I am an agnostic on issues like climate change, solely because I am not a climate scientist. Is it real? Probably.

Climate change is probably real and it will probably have negative side effects but I somewhatContinue reading “HUMMEL Review: Don’t Look Up”

HUMMEL Review: Woman in the Window (2021)

Sandler’s nameContinue reading “Review: Hubie Halloween (2020)”

In an interview with Deadline, he criticized Americans for being the only culture who have come out and spoken against the film. “It’s a little surprising in 2020 America that we’re having a discussion about censoringContinue reading “Netflix Unrepentantly Defends “Cuties” From “uniquely American” Criticisms of Child Sexualization”

The book was released in 2016 and told the author’s life story as a man growing up in one of the most blighted areas of Southern Ohio in a self described “Hillbilly” family.
