As a long-time #Knicks, I'm stunned to drop this recent episode. My beloved Knicks appear to be at the doorstep of destiny for the first time since 1973, when they won their last title. Yes, the Knicks went to two NBA Finals in the 90s (1994, 1999), however this team looks and feels more like a champion than either of those teams.
Perhaps it's middle-aged delusion, but I think this team has a legit shot at...
In this episode, I give a mostly spoiler-free review of Daredevil Born Again season 2 after watching 7 of 8 episodes. It's definitely a good continuation of season 1 with some interesting cliffhangers that'll lead into season 3.
Sadly, the series is not as popular with casual streamers, reportedly. To me, it's Marvel's best TV work since "Loki" and "Wandavision."
In the episode, I talk about the latest public scandal involved NFL head coach Mike Vrabel and former New York Times/The Athletic reporter Dianna Russini. The situation has captivated the sporting world and basically drew attention away from Thursday's opening of the NFL Draft along with the first round of the NBA Playoffs (yawn).
I give my thoughts on the adult situation and why we can't seem to help ours...
In my first podcast episode for 2026, I offer my take on this season's Super Bowl matchup: Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots. I offer some analysis on how both teams can win this game. If you listen to the end, you'll get my prediction.
I also briefly talk about the NFL season and comment on the exciting end to the College Football Playoff - The Indiana Hoosiers are national champions! Wow!
In this episode, I give my review of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's 37th featured film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The movie starts the MCU's Phase Six of its storytelling through film and Disney+ plus TV shows.
Listen to why I think this iteration of the Fantastic Four bolds well for the MCU's conclusion of its "Multiverse Saga."
In this latest episode I give my review of the new Superman film, directed by James Gunn, starring David Corenswet (Superman) and Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane). I'll explain why this film overperformed expectations with 2-hours of actions and laughs.

In this episode, I give my take on this year's NFL draft. This draft had quite a few steals as some playmakers were found in late rounds and free agency. The episode also spends some time reflecting on Daredevil Born Again, Season 1.
Lastly, I briefly discuss the current changes with the Department of Education and what it could mean for special education.
In this episode, I try to make sense of some of the many changes in US federal policy that have directly and indirectly affected international education in the US. I specific wonder about the impact on students in academic programs like "International Studies, International Development or International Education." Additionally, I reflected on the potential impact of new immigration approaches on the intern...

In this episode, I give six reasons (equitably split between our two divine presidential candidates) why this election is a no-win situation. We are cooked! The world is cooked! Perhaps the universe.
Please don't let that stop you from casting a ballot. In fact, this is the year to go town with your favorite write-in candidate! Just make sure your vote is counted!!

In this episode, I give my thoughts on the quarterback melodrama in Pittsburgh. As the 4-2 Steelers get ready to face the teetering 2-4 New York Jets, Head Coach Mike Tomlin is contemplating a move at QB. Starter Justin Fields has been ok, but not great. So, it might be time to dust off Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson to see if the offense can get some more juice or at the very least, hit a few open gu...
Wow! I just watched some wild finishes in college football on the first Saturday of October. In this episode, I give my thoughts on some of the biggest upsets and what I think it means for college football with its new 12-team playoff format!
