Movie Breakdown: The BFG
Pre-Screening Stance: I’ve never read The BFG, but I like Roald Dahl’s other works . Also, Steven Spielberg is a pretty talented fella. Hard to imagine this won’t be something special. Post-Screening Ramble: If I...
Show Of The Week

Show Of The Week
If you’ve been listening to my radio show, 101X Homegrown, over the last month or so, then you already know what I’m excited about this weekend. If you haven’t been listening (why not, man?), then...
