The Most Shocking Film Ever Made

It has been banned in several countries. Some hate on it for its ultra-violent scenes. Others proudly consider it a classic. Us? Full disclosure, haven’t seen it yet. But it’s going on our list. And after reading about the history of it, we thought it deserved sharing. Even if you don’t watch it, this article will give you something to think about.  Like the great censorship debate in the arts.

Who Knew Anthony Bourdain?

This interview with Bourdain’s long-time assistant brings up something we can’t stop wrestling with. To remember somebody isn’t necessarily to know them. Even when it can feel that way. Kind of a mic-drop thought in our humble opinion. It’s a tricky thing to ponder.  All the best things to ponder usually are.

Michael Keaton’s Much Deserved Late-career Renaissance

We love a fourth act. The moment when the hero metaphorically (though, sometimes literally) climbs into the ring for their final bout with their opponent. Rocky comes to mind as a too-on-the-nose example here. And Michael Keaton comes to mind as a metaphoric example. He deserves it. And we have to tip our hat to him. It’s impressive.  Keep it up, Keaton.

Small Towns in the U.S. That Are Secret Food Destinations

Finding good food in a big city is not hard. But it is complicated. How far is it from the hotel? Do we public transport our way over there or call a cab? Will we make the reservation on time? Did we even remember to make a reservation? But eating your way through a small town with a sneaky good food scene is quite different. The only similarity being the extreme enjoyment of food and drink.  Just something to think about for your next long weekend.

The Mixer

Would the world come together if aliens invaded? The true inspiration behind The Beatles’ Eleanor Rigby. Do hats cause hair loss? How to build a home gym cheaper than a Peloton. What it’s like to drive a groundbreaking electric car from 1908. The guy who passes out when peeing. Does scream therapy actually work? How many giant balloons a single dart can make it through. When will nightlife be back? Nicotine without the nonsense.*
