I love watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. But I also enjoy watching pundits hype up floats for IPs they probably haven’t watched - it’s funny.

I just rewatched the Thanksgiving sandwich clip from Friends. And all I heard was that Ross is 30… I’m 29!!!
It's not nice rewatching a show from my childhood about adults and realising I'm now much older than all the main characters.

The 48 hours before Thanksgiving are a marathon of meal pre-prep, seasoning, and figuring out if any cranberries are left at the market. May the odds be ever in your favor.

I’m not sure people can critique The Running Man as “another remake” when the 80s film only used the bare bones of its source material. There was satire, but more cheese than grittiness.

Between Prey, Killer of Killers and now Badlands, I don’t think I’ve seen a franchise spring back to prominence out of nowhere like Predator. But man am I glad it did so.
