year-end lists

  • My Favorite Albums of 2019

    Hey hey! (Please read that in a Babu Frik voice.) It’s time for the last of my 2019 favorites lists. And I’ve decided to end on one of my greatest loves— music. There’s been a lot of great music this year, so I’ve found a lot of albums to love. Unlike in past years, I’m

  • My Favorite Movies of 2019

    All right, squad! It’s time to continue my year-end lists. Up on the docket today: my favorite movies of 2019. You’ve all heard my strange tale of woe, how I’m terrible at watching movies. I’m watch Film Twitter calls “5 Movies a Year Twitter.” But you know what? I’ve made my piece with that. I

  • My Favorite Shows of 2019

    From cable to streaming, I’ve watched some fantastic shows in 2019. I found some new all-time favorites and enjoyed new content from old favorites. That said, I won’t be including all my favorite shows in this list. If I did, it would be unbearably long and repetitive. Instead, you can find my other favorites on

  • That’s right, everyone! It’s time for everyone to roll out their best and worst lists of 2019. I look forward to these lists every year. There’s just something so cathartic about the rants and something so moving about the raves. In the past, I’ve done Best, Worst, and Most Disappointing lists for books, albums, movies,

  • Well, we’ve finally made it. Not only is this my last year-end list, but it’s my last post of 2018. What a year it’s been. I could reflect on it for hours. But I won’t. Ain’t nobody got time for that. We’re here today to find out what shows I thought were the best 2018

  • The Top 6 Best Movies of 2018

    Out of all my lists, I’d say that this and my Worst Albums of 2018 are my most controversial. How can a best list cause controversy? Because, as someone who knows little about film, I tend to prefer movies experts either call guilty pleasures or outright hate. And the most frustrating part? My uneducated opinion

  • The Top 7 Best Books of 2018

    Recently, I was tagged on Twitter to post my four favorite books of 2018. I didn’t do it because, well, a couple problems. First of all, the lowest I am able to narrow my list down to is seven. Twitter only allows four pictures per Tweet. I suppose I could’ve added the other three in

  • The Top 5 Best Albums of 2018

    As I said in my Worst Albums of 2018 post, 2018 was a good year for music if you knew where to look. Relying on the charts will only make you depressed. Fine tuning your music taste and finding releases based on that is the only way to go. To make my list, the album

  • Books I DNF-ed in 2018

    As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten better about not forcing myself to read books I’m not enjoying. Why waste time and energy on a book that sucks? However, I’ve also gotten a lot better at choosing books that fit my interests. That has lessened my need to DNF books. In fact, I only had to

  • It’s time for my worst lists to come to an end. Last on the autopsy table are the four shows I thought really sucked this year. I seriously didn’t plan for all my worst lists to be Top 4 lists. They all just came out that way by bizarre coincidence. I’m honestly a little unnerved
