    Unskippable TV Intros

    We watch a ton of TV in the Moon household, and if we’re lucky, we’ll come across an intro sequence that doesn’t make us want to immediately hit “skip” during a binge session. Whether it’s the fascinating visuals, the catchy music, or how it perfectly sets the tone for what you’re about to watch, we […]

    Wedding or Worst Day Ever?

    Season two of the hit Netflix dating series “Love is Blind” has certainly kept viewers on their toes. Over the last two weeks there were love triangles, stupid fights, skeptical family members, and lots of tacky, gold stemware. With the finale about to drop, some writers at The Tailgate Society predicted who will say “I […]

    HBO’s The White Lotus: The Surprise That’s Not a Surprise

    Light Spoilers Ahead The ending of The White Lotus wasn’t all that shocking, which ultimately made me love the series even more. Like many shows, the first episode of The White Lotus revealed that there has been a death at a luxury hotel but we aren’t meant to know any real details. Nosy small-talkers at […]

    The Too Much Hype List

    The Too Much Hype List is a periodic installment of things in media that have gotten hyped too hard, and thus I am avoiding for stubbornness reasons. However, this is all just opinion and should be treated as such, and you should absolutely enjoy them if you want. Sturgill Simpson – The Ballad of Dood […]

    On Tuesday, the website “Go Iowa Awesome” posted an article by Patrick Vint arguing, to quote the article title, that “the Big Ten needs to contract.” Yes, as in actually kick schools out.

    Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys on the Yellowstone

    Yellowstone could have been a great contribution to undoing some of harmful mythos of the west in popular media. Instead, the whole clean jeans, new boots, and a puffy vest aesthetic is out in force, and as any westerner will tell you, it’s only rich guys and Californians that ever look like that.

    Aw Shucks: “The Bachelorette” Power Rankings – Episode #6

    This week brings us to exotic Richmond, Virginia, where Chris continues to play the victim card, Colton keeps on bullshitting, and two previous sleepers make waves.  I gotta give it to this season; unlike others, I have no freaking idea how this thing is ending or which way Becca is leaning.  We are down to […]

    The Good, the Bad, and the Wounded: “The Bachelorette” Power Rankings – Episode #3

    Kim Jong Un & another dictator tried to keep me from watching Becca on her journey for l-o-v-e tonight, so it took a little longer. We finally got through episode #3, though.  The guys impressed by (for the most part) being really respectful of one another, but somehow we still ended up with two of […]

    Turn Down for Drama: “The Bachelorette” Power Rankings – Episode #2

    With cameos by Lil Jon, Fred Willard, and Rachel & Bryan, this should have been a much more easygoing two hours than it was.  Three story lines on Monday night kept us from getting to know these guys much more than we did in episode #1.  Hang on to your butts. The drama is starting […]

    SmackDown Live to Fox: A Quick Analysis

    Earlier today, it was announced that Fox had reached an agreement to buy the rights to WWE’s SmackDown Live. Essentially, this proves two of my main points that I’ve been harping on for the last couple of months: 1) WWE is a goldmine in terms of TV rights. 2) Live TV is king. This move […]
