Sully is probably the first film built for awards season released in 2016

A Movie Review of Sully

An In-depth Report by Agent TBD.

How do you make a feature length film about an event that only lasted for three and a half minutes? The short answer is that you show the event twice and you don’t start the first time until about a third of the way into the film.

The better answer is that you don’t make the movie about those three and a half minutes. You make it a character study of the man who lived through that event.

Engineering my return to Fantasy Football through Proxycasting

Are you ready for some Fantasy Football? I know I am!

This year, I am participating in the Couple Things Podcast Fantasy Football League. The draft happened just days ago, and the season is upon us…

While I am ready (kind of), my draft wasn’t what you would call brilliant. I am stacked at Running Back and I have solid Wide Receiver options, but my starting Quarterback after the draft was Ryan Tannehill, and my backup is going to be Jay Cutler when he clears waivers.

2016 College Football Season Preview Conference Winners with Reasons Are Several

2016 College Football Preview

Before the 2016 College Football Season kicks off, I joined Matt on Reasons Are Several to talk about rivalries, traditions, and to make predictions and picks for the upcoming season.

We predicted conference champions for each of the major conferences in the FBS, as well as our semi-final and final matchups, plus our prediction for the National Champion and Heisman trophies.

The episode is all the college football you can handle and maybe more.

Sausage Party is a Hilarious “R Rated” Romp

Sausage Party Review

A Special Report by Agent TBD.

Seth Rogan and a host of Apatow comedy regulars dip their toes in the CG animated movie world with Sausage Party, an R-rated comedy that does for groceries what Toy Story did for Toys with much more disturbing results.

As expected, the film is infused with raunchy humor and double entendre that often pushes the line between funny and awkward. Throughout this film I often had to remind myself of the comforting fact that it was not a documentary.

What you should listen to: Couple Things Podcast

Couple Things Podcast

The website states “couple couples chatting about the quandaries of the world.” The main intro into their topics is “every week the four of us bring a topic to discuss barroom style…” How could you possibly go wrong, listening to Couple Things Podcast?

The four hosts are, of course, two couples; Ben & Molly and Von (Michelle) & Ray. But there is also the concept of “podcast married” which swaps the couples around, so be on the lookout for that depending on the topic at hand.
