You Will Believe: How “Superman: The Movie” Made “Man of Steel” Possible
The release of Man of Steel – the latest attempt to tell the story of comic book legend Superman – fills me with an excitement I can’t quite articulate. The chance to see my favorite mythological figure in American history grace the silver screen again is a cause for celebration – which is astounding, considering how little I wanted to do with this particular tale mere months ago. Since the last son of Krypton flew into my life, I’ve had one very specific picture of him in […]

It’s Not Summer Unless There’s a New Jack Johnson Record…
Despite the fact that it’s kinda grey and crummy on the East Coast as I write this, Jack Johnson’s music immediately makes me picture sunshine, cookouts, beaches and the welcome smell of that sticky-icky wafting through the air.

Deftly zigging where an EDM-fueled crowd expected them to […]

Drews & Don’ts: The 20 Best Episodes of “The Office”
As “The Office” closes its doors after nine seasons of workplace hijinks, it’s hard to separate the show at large from what the show’s become. Following television’s grandest tradition of continuing a successful sitcom long beyond its logical stopping point, the mockumentary sitcom has trudged through two largely laugh-free seasons following the departure of star Steve Carell. And while the ninth and final season has taken great strides over the dire eighth to wrap up the Scranton crew’s storylines in […]
