I wanted to watch a fun movie for this week’s #WayBackWednesday; enter The Lost Boys. This 1987 vampire horror-comedy is a lot of fun and a film that I want to watch whenever the weather warms up. Have you seen…
How ‘Designated Survivor’ Finally Made Tom Kirkman Compelling
Look, I’ve been a fan and a detractor of Designated Survivor’s Tom Kirkman in equal measure. A fan because, of course, the man represented everything we would ever want in a public official, he was honest, he was hardworking, he…
‘Designated Survivor’ Comes Back to Life
It seems like, one way or another, we haven’t seen the last of President Tom Kirkman. Designated Survivor has been rescued by Netflix after being axed by ABC, with the streaming giant ordering a 10-episode Season 3, and we’re not…
‘Designated Survivor’ 2×22 Review: So Long, Farewell

‘Designated Survivor’ 2×16 Review: A Step in the Right Direction
I’ve been critical of Designated Survivor the past few episodes – a big change for me, after praising this show for it’s entire first season and most of season 2. Today, however, I’m feeling somewhat optimistic, because the show just…
