This is how you study to get the type matchups right.


Discussing THAT series finale

I realize that could describe a lot of bad series finales, but the one we're talking about today is Dinosaurs.

After claiming #Dinosaurs had one of TV's worst finales, @BeautifulBill chatted with "Dinosaurs" producer Tim Doyle and finale writer Kirk Thatcher to talk about the series' final episode.https://t.co/lzQqeKeIK6

Which leads to this fascinating discussion with the show's creator.


Harley's back! (For now)

‘Harley Quinn’ Renewed for Season 4 at HBO Max With New Showrunner https://t.co/MjriqmNisp

— The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) August 31, 2022

Harley Quinn is coming back for Season 4, unless David Zaslav changes his mind between now and next year. Oddly and ironically enough, the best character on that show has become The Joker, so let's take a quick look at Family Man Joker!

I love what the Harley Quinn show did to Joker 😭 pic.twitter.com/9slzvYHj0e

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
