BioShock Infinite sold itself as a thoughtful exploration of choice, guilt, American exceptionalism, racism, religion, and determinism. What it delivered is a sky-high theme-park ride that gestures at big ideas, then abandons them for quantum hand-waving and a finale that raises more questions than it answers.
Traditional television news broadcasts once functioned as vehicles for reporting events to a broad audience. But in recent years they have moved toward commentary and interpretation. They no longer break news; they provide commentary on stories already circulating elsewhere, which involves perspective and therefore bias.
From bloated talent deals that produced almost nothing to high-profile adaptations of beloved properties that crashed and burned, Amazon has delivered a masterclass in expensive mismanagement.
Mixtape barely qualifies as a video game. It is an expensive, stylized interactive movie that demands almost nothing from the player, yet somehow earned glowing reviews and perfect scores from critics who seem increasingly disconnected from actual gaming.
The “everyone gets a trophy” mentality was a well-intentioned approach to protect fragile self-esteem and ensure no child feels left out. But instead of creating confident, resilient young athletes, youth sports have become a participation festival where outcomes barely matter and rewards are guaranteed.
ESPN NFL 2K5 vs. Madden NFL is the story of a game that dared to innovate, the monopoly it provoked, and the franchise that has been coasting on its victory ever since.
What started as a beacon of thoughtful sci-fi exploring big ideas of ethics, exploration, and humanity’s potential has now devolved into a cringefest that’s more TikTok therapy session than space opera.

We’re running the full gamut. Whether produced by Marvel or retroactively canonized, this countdown includes every theatrical film, short, special presentation, and show across Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, ABC, and Freeform.
It’s time to look back on the year that’s a quarter of a century deep, and saying quarter of a century now makes me feel old. The following are my picks for the best and worst Movies, TV Shows, Books, and Video Games that I watched, read, and played in 2025.
In December 2008, Chicago agreed to sign a 75-year lease with an investment company, granting it control over 36,000 parking meter spaces in exchange for a one-time payment of $1.15 billion.
Tropic Thunder isn't just the last great comedy; it’s one of the greatest comedies of all time. It’s a cinematic relic from a time when Hollywood still had the guts to be funny. It’s loud, offensive, ridiculous, and absolutely perfect.
At first, this naming style felt fresh and evocative, a lyrical rhythm that promised sweeping worlds, magical drama, and epic conflict. But somewhere along the way, every other book decided to wear the same outfit to the party.
In a genre saturated with bombastic spectacle and generic gunplay, Titanfall 2 carved out a timeless place for itself by quietly redefining what a first-person shooter campaign could be.
