The Bob’s Burgers Drinking Game Instead of my usual rant about a topic that has nothing to do with the show I’m covering, I’m just going to show some love for a show that should be a lot more popular than it is: Bob’s Burgers. Bob’s Burgers follows the eccentric Belcher family whose titular character [...]
POP FILTER VS. THE CLASSICS OF 1979 MANHATTAN For this installment of PopFilter versus the classics, we present 1979’s Manhattan, co-written, directed, and staring Woody Allen. It also stars Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep, and Muriel Hemmingway. Now, pretty much any film student or any pretentious butt-munch at the independent coffee house loves to [...]
Mad Men: The Drinking Game; or Why Punk Sucks Punk rock is terrible. Now, I’m not talking about the music alone, because though the vast majority of it is unlistenable garbage, there are some bands in that genre that are undeniably great. I grew up on a healthy diet of Green Day, The [...]
HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD DO? In which we tell you about awesome things that you must look into and enjoy Watch “House of Cards” I know that we have reviewed this on the podcast, but fuck that. I didn’t get to heap quite enough praise on this show in February so I will [...]
FUCK THAT CALF! In which we slay the things others hold dear. Ryan Gosling I like Ryan Gosling the same unhealthy amount that you do. I even like his band. So this isn’t so much of a Fuck That Calf as it is a Let’s Lay Off That Calf For A Little While. Ryan [...]
PART II: Parks and Recreation Welcome to part two of this epic rivalry between the shows of two best friends that I completely made up. Last week we took a look at Tina Fey’s 30 Rock. This week, Amy Poehler’s and Parks and Recreation is under the microscope. Debuting in 2009, and now in its [...]
PART I: 30 Rock One of the nicest things to see in Hollywood is a warm, genuine, and long lasting friendship between two people who for every other reason should be bitter enemies. Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler actually seem like they are honestly proud of one another’s successes, which can be a difficult thing [...]
Flickchart’s Greatest Battles In which we pit two movies together using flickchart.com, debating their merits or lack thereof. ROUND ONE TROY VS CATCH ME IF YOU CAN Troy and Catch Me if You Can, the first is based on one of the greatest stories of all time. The other features America’s sweetheart Tom [...]
Let’s talk about douchebags and the women who love them, if we could for a moment. You see it time and time again; it pushes the mind to the brink of understanding when we see a perfectly nice lady in a relationship with a skuzzy, dumb-as-shit dude who also treats her like garbage. If you [...]
Steel Magnolias Ahhh it’s good to be back. After a long hiatus in which I went on three different get-away weekends, I have returned to my most important service to the public: The Thirst Games. This one is for the ladies! This week we are playing against Steel Magnolias. Let me preface this by saying [...]
OFFICE SPACE VS. AMERICAN HISTORY X Two formidable opponents for wildly different reasons, and for no earthly reason would there ever be a comparison of the two, except right here, right now. Office Space is an instant classic, arguably the funniest movie about the tedium of existence ever made. It is the story of [...]
The Clueless Drinking Game Clueless more or less shaped the kind of person I wanted to be when I was 10. You pee-standing-up types have your Spiderman’s and Bugs Bunny, I had Cher. As my tribute to this wonderful movie, for your next Thirst Games drinking party (I KNOW that’s a thing), I submit [...]
The South Park Drinking Game I met my best friend in the third grade; it was around the same time that South Park first premiered. What started as a show about four foul-mouthed third graders from a small town in Colorado has turned into a cultural revolution, and the basis for my friendship with [...]
I MISS MY MTV The Walkmen-Heaven I really like this band. This song is a pretty good representation of why. The video reminds me of one of those images that is made up of a million smaller images. The smaller images chronicle the life and times of the band, where they are from, who has [...]
Winter’s Bone Good googamugum, filterinos. This movie will get your heart pumping. This powerful tale of a teenager from the heart of the impoverished Ozark region fighting like hell to keep what little she and her family have left has come to Netflix. Well, actually it did a while ago, but if you haven’t seen [...]
THE POP FILTER MIXTAPE Anger Bang Poison and Wine – The Civil Wars The go-to reaction to ‘what song to pick for a hate fuck’ is something loud, aggresive and punk rock. However, nothing says I hate you like a song that realitically depicts a passive aggressive relationship going even more sour. The music is [...]
I MISS MY MTV HEADBANGER’S BALL Dethklok-Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle I know just as much about heavy metal as I do about building a Mars rover, but that doesn’t mean I won’t speak with an arrogant confidence on the subject. This may be a fake band from a cartoon, but it’s fully brutal. From [...]
The Louie Drinking Game Something strange happens to my brain every time I finish an episode of Louie. It’s a combination of confusion, dumb apish anger, awe, and bewilderment. I don’t know what the hell I just saw, but I know I have just seen something important. The show defies the comedy genre by [...]
I MISS MY MTV Everybody Talks – Neon Trees This song is fucking rad, this video is cool as fuck and I’ll be goddamned if I didn’t have a good time enjoying both simultaneously. This video captures the fun and excitement that MTv used to portray on an hourly basis. The cinematic shooting of the [...]
The Daily Show Colbert Report Drinking Game Let’s face it, as a generation we aren’t the most informed group of people when it comes to current events, unless those events are centered around t.v shows, movies, the music industry or what rapper Kim Kardashian is currently banging. We love discussing pop culture, we love having [...]
