Wrestling
Wrestling is uncool. This is the cry that you hear in most locations these days but there was a time, in the mid 90s, when it was the best thing since sliced bread, where the Monday night wars had pushed two larger-than-life brands, the WWE and WCW trip competing for supremacy.

The How To's of the Dark Side
Now this series is a great one. The amount of satire in these 3 different series is amazing! Essentially it pokes fun at being a cult leader, being a tyrant and being a mob boss. It is a fun way to watch and learn about some of the biggest names in the crime game, basically making fun of the mistakes that the big names make.

65
Ya know how sometimes you see a trailer for a movie and you think to yourself, “wow this is going to be terrible, I can’t wait to see it”? Well that was my exact thought process when I saw the trailer for 65 starring Adam Driver. We never got around to seeing it in the theaters but now that it's on Netflix we are finally diving in. Doing any dinosaur movie after the existence of Jurassic Park is super bold but here we go, my review of 65.
