Dr. Rozakis sets up a Spark Notes-ish collection of classic literature, which, apparently, is all zombie based. The work is clever and fun and shows Rozakis’ knowledge of the classics and the Cliff Note form; however, I think this works more as a good idea, or as a joke gift to someone like me rather …

Young Lovecraft vol I-II – Jose Oliver and Bartolo Torres
Wonderfully illustrated by Torres in a style similar to Vasquez and Jennifer Feinberg, this comic strip recounts the (should be true, oh, if only) childhood of the misanthropic horror writer Howard Philip Lovecraft. I want to say the stories are filled with outlandish characters and events, but in actuality you tend to take in stride …

The Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium: Jon Stewart vs. Bill O’Reilly
The comedian and political commentator faced off to argue over various American political and social dynamics. Not particularly good comedy or meaningful in that these are not people who are running for office, but the debate and issues addressed were more substantive and honest than the Obama-Romney debate.

Bob’s Burgers
Bob is just a regular guy who runs a hamburger diner with his family: an overly optimistic wife; a horny, 13 year old, socially inept daughter; an idiot son; and a serial killer in the making youngest daughter. The show isn’t the same type of zaniness as cartoons such as The Simpsons or Family Guy …

Dan Vs.
I can’t believe that this insane cartoon is on the same channel that shows My Little Pony. Dan is a jerk (seriously, that’s what his shirt says), and every episode starts the same in that something largely routine but unfortunate occurs to him–or more likely his car–and Dan swears vengeance against the often abstract perpetrator …

Archer
Sterling Archer of ISIS is a master secret agent. He is also a complete tool, momma’s boy, and moron. Put it together and you have a great, no-holds-bared cartoon comedy.

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret
Pathological liar/office temp, Margaret, is sent to London to oversee the introduction of a new energy drink. In short order he gets himself in more trouble than you would think possible, such as disrupting a solemn national holidays, counterfeiting, and terrorism. Since the program is on the IFC, it is not reigned in by FCC …

Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear
Comedians/talk show hosts/activists Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert held a rally in DC which was a cross between a mediocre comedy show, a parade of B stars, and an attempt to show the country that not everyone is a bombastic lunatic who thinks anyone who doesn’t agree with them politically is a traitor (I mean, …

Zombieland
Dan had invited group of us over and we watched this film, one I had meant to catch in the theater. The world is overrun by an infection that turns people into mindless cannibals. Luckily, a badass and a neurotic loser team up to fight the hoards. They, in turn, get together with two sisters …

The Desk Set
I think it’s a rule that all would be librarians eventually have to see this movie (that and get a librarian action figure as a present). Yes, the story is a clever, if dated, romantic comedy wherein a brilliant head research corporate librarian finds her match with a dumpy, older, but just as brilliant in …

The Black Adder
My mother got me the the collected series as a present since she knew how I’d always watch this growing up. Every season of this BBC television series brings us a different incarnation of the scoundrel called Black Adder and his constant quest to become king of England. If you never heard of this show …

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules – Jeff Kinney
Greg, nerdy middle-schooler, returns along with a brand new diary which he uses to chronicle his misadventures. Short, daily entries coupled with awesomely simple illustrations takes the reader through the hilarious problems (often of his own making) with school, family (especially with his brother, Rodrick), and friends (well, a friend).

Zelig – Woody Allen
I’d like to hear what Cej has to say about this movie as he’s a big Allen fan. Zelig is the ultimate conformist, wanting so badly to fit in that he actually changes his shape, appearance, and ethnicity. Featuring effects that would later be stolen in the movie Forest Gump, I think it makes an …

My Name is Bruce
Real life B movie actor Bruce Campbell is recruited to help a small town defeat a demon, you know, just like he does in the movies. Very meta; very hilarious (if your a Bruce Campbell fan).
