I Kind of Want to Watch The Simpsons Again
Somebody at The Simpsons gets it. I haven’t watched the show in years, and I’m fairly certain all the new episodes are humorless and desperate, but somebody, somewhere, has their finger on the pulse of the exact level of camp that’s hilarious in 2016. How else do you explain this amazing Coach Gag that parodies the 80s to such a perfect degree?
That’s gold. And it’s an official Simpsons Coach Gag, to appear on an upcoming episode. That whole parody video is one bit of brilliance after another. Only to blow it in the final seconds with that bit about Maggie. But somewhere, it’s good to know somebody at The Simpsons understands what the hell they’re doing.

Everything Wrong with Ant-Man
Alas, poor Ant-Man, there’s no way it could survive Cinema Sins.
I still love this movie, I will always love this movie, and I can’t wait to see Ant-Man show up in Captain America: Civil War. But heh, it’s got a million, bajillion little problems.

Daredevil Teaser Fulfills Sole Obligation
The second season of the Daredevil TV show will debut on Netflix on March 18 — and that is a sentence that makes me giddy just from typing it out. A Daredevil TV show, you guys! Anyway, they released a quick teaser trailer today to announce the debut date. And it definitely teases!
Yeah, it’s mostly just quotes and scenes from the first season. Only at the end do we get some snippets of new stuff, but at least that stuff sounds cool! Can’t wait!

Only Leigh’s Year In Review
We here at Henchman-4-Hire are big fans of Internet cartoonist Only Leigh, so I see no reason not to share her 2015 year in review video! Warning, there are some Game of Thrones spoilers hidden inside, if you’re doing your darndest to avoid those things.
Great cartoons! And if you haven’t seen it yet, she did a pretty funny bit about BB-8.

My 6 Most Anticipated Movies of 2016
A new year is here, and with it comes a new spattering of pop culture to love and hopefully enjoy! All my favorite TV shows are coming back eventually (most of them this month!). And comics are looking as exciting as ever. Not too many video games on my list this year, but we’ll see how things turn out.
Mostly though, I’m looking forward to movies! This is gonna be a great year!
The artifacts of our culture
As we all know, we’re smack dab in the middle (or the beginning) of the next superhero movie insanity roller coaster. We know that 2017 is going to be insane with movies. But this year is boasting some solid entries as well. So to ease us into 2016, I wanted to run down the six movies I’m most looking forward to this year. Hopefully they live up to my excitement.
