As a product of the 80s and 90s, I’m used to my superhero cartoons being a mix of badassery, grit, and a healthy heap of comedy. For instance, the perennial classic Batman The Animated Series wasn’t known just for Kevin Conroy beating the crap out of everyone and being suave outside the suit. Some of its best episodes […]

Ok, now that we got our steaming pile of “Hayzus de Crisco, why the balls did that happen” out of the way with my Pluto Nash review, I figured I’d begin this “season” of WIRTB with a movie that everyone likes. I mean, it’s fun and great to shit on horrible films, but I’m SOTB, dammit! […]

Since I unabashedly said that my entire discography was better than Cole World, it behooves me to look at his second album, 2013’s Born Sinner. Why?

I’m Speed on the Beat and I review crap, so others don’t have to. You know this already. However, the following is a variation of the infamous WIRTB Review.
