Looking for Monster Hunter Rise tips to help you on your hunts? I certainly hope so, because I’ve written quite a few during the hundred or so hours I’ve played game leading up to its release. It’s a dense one, so of course it comes with an equally dense list of…

CM Punk Is Back. I Am Happy.
I know it has to have happened at some point in the history of wrestling, but I am drawing a blank: There has never been an event like CM Punk’s AEW debut, his return to professional wrestling after over seven years of retirement. It’s weird: Everything and nothing was working…

Hunktears Recap: WWE Raw 3/18/2019
I went into this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw with a very clear picture of what my ideal wrestling show looks like. No, I’m not talking about the recent New Japan Cup shows. I’m talking about Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide’s Rey de Reyes event this past Saturday. It had…

Uncut Gems Review: Capitalism Gets a Colonoscopy
Insofar as they tend to involve him yelling at someone in what may or may not be a questionable accent, most Adam Sandler movies are loud. But they’re not loud like Uncut Gems. Everyone in the film is talking over one another, just wall-to-wall shouting and arguing and haggling, often…

Please, I’m Begging You, Don’t Make The Rock a Politician
I like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. I’m not alone in that, obviously—Johnson is one of the most popular wrestlers in history, a movie star who defines a generation of blockbuster action movies like Schwarzenegger and Stallone before him, and a decent enough social media presence if you’re into his particular…

The Good Omens Miniseries is Definitely a Fanfic I Read in 2006
Just about every Good Omens fan has a story about a copy (or two) that was lent out and never returned as a point of pride. And the book’s struggle to make it to adaptation are nearly as legendary as the book itself, spawning a Gaiman short story (“The Goldfish…

Why Do I Love Bad Wrestlers?
While we’re looking at election news and new gaming consoles, I want to come clean: I like Bad Wrestlers more than I like Good Wrestling. The capitalization is intentional: Watching a Bad Wrestler, a truly Bad Wrestler, holds more interest to me in 2020 than crisp technical wrestling, awe-inspiring acrobatics,…

Wednesday Night War Week 5: Asuka & Kairi Beat Rick & Morty Every Time
It’s been a busy week for professional wrestling. As I type this, WWE is cashing a gigantic novelty check written by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, recoiling from a 15% dip in their stock valuation, and doing their level best to spin NXT star Albert “Jordan Myles” Hardie Jr.’s public,…
