My 6 Favorite Things of 2025
2025 was a horrible year. I had to buy both a new car and a new computer, both of which I’m still paying off. The world went even more to shit. I’m discovering in real time that my new landlord isn’t going to spring for plowing the snow out of my driveway. Marvel movies are doing poorly at the box office. And Grand Theft Auto VI was delayed until next year, if we’re lucky.
So boo on 2025!
But one thing I like to do every year is a roundup of my favorite bits and pieces of pop culture from the past year. My favorite movies, TV shows, comics and more. Why not? Every website does this at this time of year. Why not try to lift my own spirits with writing about my favorite things? And keep in mind, this is not a list of the best media, it’s my own personal list of favorites from the past year. Your mileage may vary.
Read the rest of this entryIt’s Grinch Season, Animated
Tell It Animated is back with a take on the Grinch, that classic Christmas rascal who is big into stealing Christmas. Simple as that.
Now do Santa Claus, you coward. All movie and TV appearances of Santa Claus ever! You have an entire year to get it done.
Anyway, another good episode from Tell It Animated; very seasonally themed. Good work all around.
This also gives me another opportunity to post this The Grinch Song Uncensored is BRUTAL by Wizards with Guns. This thing is hilarious and definitely not child-friendly, so be warned if you decide to watch.
Now that’s more like the holiday spirit we need right now!

A Fun, Silly Song from Riki Lindhome
Riki Lindhome is one half of the comedy music duo Garfunkel & Oates and she appears to have come out with her own, original solo single, called “Don’t Google Mommy.” I don’t know anything about the current status of the band, and Google didn’t tell me anything (damn, I Googled her!), but the song and video are pretty darn funny, so I’m sharing.
I hope this brightens everyone’s Friday as much as it does mine. If Kate Micucci makes her own solo single one of these days, someone let me know so I can check it out as well!

New Weird Al Polka Medley Has Dropped!
Randomly yesterday, I discovered that Weird Al has dropped a new polka medley. He takes a bunch of popular songs and polka-fies about 5 seconds of them into a fun medley. He’s been doing it for decades! And I even recognized some of these songs, despite my being about as disconnected to popular music as anyone. But this one is a hoot!
That video is a blast! Good old Weird Al. Does he have a new album coming out? Or did he just make this for fun as a one-off? Doesn’t matter! Make that magic, Weird Al!
No comic reviews this week. I was way too busy at work and it’s been crazy. Plus, not much came out. DC is doing Absolute Power and most of my regular comics are tie-ins. I’m only reading that sporadically. I should also do something about DC’s All-In as well…maybe next week…

Tenacious D Rocks Out On This Monday
I’m feeling a tad under the weather today, though I’m holding out hope that I’m not really sick and it’s just a weird day. Still, it’s a Monday, and that means we all need some help getting through it. So how about this Tenacious D cover of the Britney Spears classic Hit Me Baby One More Time!
Did this song appear in Kung Fu Panda 4? I didn’t go see it. I’m sure I’ll watch it someday, but this fourquel didn’t strike me as anything worth bothering with, even though I love all the other Kung Fu Panda movies. Ah well, Jack Black and Kyle Gass rule and that’s all we need to know for this Monday going forward.
