She was over all …

Something I think a lot of people have in common is that we weren’t all that into zombies, er, walkers before The Walking Dead. Or maybe it’s just me. I just wasn’t ‘that’ into zombie lore or bloody viscera or the whole idea of a zombie apocalypse. Now? I’m a full fledged zombophile. Between Shaun …

I wasn’t going to watch Stranger Things. I thought it was going to be dumb, thought it was trending for no reason, thought it was just another repeat of a repeat and I Wan’t Buying In.

The FULL HOUSE reunion show FULLER HOUSE starts today, and while this is the reboot I’ve been waiting my entire adult life for, I’m actually a bit nervous. I mean, this show was great in part because we lived in a more innocent time. TV is different now. Full House came to us before the …
