Parks & Recreation was aight. It was basically a nicecore version of The Office (US) with extremely bad politics. That does sound really bad when you put it like that. There were fun moments, episodes, and strong characterizations in the early years. As the years went on, the show got progressively less good, and that is mostly reflected in the rankings of the seasons. Continue reading Ranking the Parks & Recreation Seasons

Rules: I am making some very strict restrictions for who could qualify for this very important. The character could not have ever been in the main cast. The character could never have been the big bad of a season. They also had to appear in more than one season. Do these rules seem arbitrary? Yes? But it’s my list.

Beyond its star, Timothy Olyphant, Justified recognized what a fond idea it would be to cast so many actors from Deadwood. More films and television programs should do this. Here is how I rank their appearances on Justified. Continue reading Ranking the Appearances from Deadwood Actors in Justified
Matt Waters and Mike Thomas ranked the Batman films back in 2017. Five years later we are doing it again but bringing Jerome Cusson and Ben Phillips along for the ride this time.
We also laid some new ground rules. 1.) The film had to receive a wide theatrical release. 2.) Justice League and Suicide Squad movies do not count, but v. Superman does.
Again, here are the voters.

Jerome Cusson
Ben Phillips

12) Batman & Robin

Somehow, we have never ranked the Batman actors??? Well, our long international nightmare is over. We brought in the best minds in the biz to finally crack this conundrum.
To clarify, this is specifically looking at actors who have played Batman in a film that received a wide theatrical release. Sorry, Diedrich Bader.

Constantine is a good film. I did not see it until 2018, and it got a little overhyped to me by Twitter so my expectations were not met. I finally gave it another go in 2022, and yes, I can confirm it is quite good. Give the people what they want (a sequel to Constantine). Anyway, these were my five favorite things about the movie.
1. Keanu!
Isabel Sandoval is one of the most purely talented directors in the world. More films of hers will be added to this very early list as they come out over the years. Continue reading Ranking the Isabel Sandoval Films
We have a Batman problem on this website and talk/write about it way too much. Obviously, we were going to do some stuff for this one.

Kenneth Lonergan has only directed THREE films, but they are all knockouts. Ranking them kinda feels silly since there are so few of them and they all rock, but here are some thoughts on each of them anyway. Please make another film, Kenneth Lonergan!!
The Wachowskis are absolutely geniuses. While that has occasionally caused them to fly too close to the sun, it has mostly led to some of the absolute very best modern films. Here is how I rank their films.
