  • Well kids, we’re halfway done with my 2017 worst lists. Today’s list? Movies! You may have seen that title and wondered, “Why only three? Surely there have been more bad movies than that this year.” Based on what I’ve heard, you’re right. (And don’t call me Shirley.) However… I really haven’t seen that many movies

  • All right, all right. It’s time for another worst list. This time I’m talking about television. Ah, television.
