Whether we watched the ceremony or skimmed the results, the Popblerd team had one thing in common: we all had strong opinions to voice about the 64th annual Emmy Awards. How strong? Why don’t you read for yourself! Jesse, jilted FX fan: It was fucking awful and awkward. They spaced it out so much at the beginning that all the big ones at the end got played off. And don’t get me started on the lack of FX presence….. Big […]
Spin Cycle: Childish Gambino, R O Y A L T Y
Childish Gambino has a new mixtape you should really listen to. It’s called R O Y A L T Y and it’s free.
Spin Cycle: Childish Gambino’s “Camp”
Donald Glover has been Childish Gambino for a long time so don’t live under the impression that he gained more fame from Community and decided to become a rapper. Be clear about one thing, Childish Gambino is the real deal and this is, without a doubt, Donald Glover’s Dark Twisted Fantasy. It can’t be coincidence that Camp comes out around the same time Kanye’s masterpiece dropped last year. If you didn’t know that Donald Glover was a rapping maniac before, […]
Handicapping the Emmy Award Nominations: Another Round for Team Conan & the Gleeks!
The first step was made towards television’s biggest night, as the 2010 Emmy Award nominations were announced this morning. I’m not really knowledgeable enough to be able to call whether the right folks were picked-at least for the drama categories.

It’s always nice to see Mariska Hargitay get nominated for her work as Olivia Benson on […]
Blerd Radio Episode 5: Hot & Bothered
You can listen to or download Episode 5 here . Hot? Because it was nice and toasty inside the office when I recorded this episode, and turning on the air conditioning would have resulted in a background noise even more annoying than listening to this hour-long monologue. Bothered? Maybe not so much. I was a little annoyed, but the show turned out to be less obnoxious or rude than I intended for it to be. Some things and people just aren’t […]
This Week in Gay: Leaving “30 Rock” Once & For All
You know something? I’m not easily offended. I’d like to think I have a really good sense of humor. Generally speaking, most jokes-whether they be ethnic jokes, sexual jokes, whatever…don’t get much of a reaction from me (outside of laughter, obviously.) Well, actor/comedian Tracy Morgan started Gay Pride Month off with a doozy during a stand-up comedy routine in Nashville last week that I (and many others) feel crossed the line. Among the actor’s comments: “Gays need to quit being pussies […]
