As soon as I hit send on last week’s newsletter, I got a notification on my phone about the passing of legendary actor Burt Reynolds. The 82-year-old died Thursday in his Florida home after going into cardiac arrest. Reynolds had iconic performances in a multitude of films, so much so that if you haven’t seen…

Week 14 Newsletter: The Tournament Begins
First off, sorry this is coming out a day late. I had everything done but the picture edits, which I was going to take care of yesterday. However, I got a text from one of my executive producers saying I had to come in from noon to 6 p.m. I wasn’t close to my computer…

Week 13 Newsletter: Hey Football Heads
Me last Friday: “Hmm… what should the theme for the next newsletter be? We’re getting close to the playoffs, so maybe something about battling for survival… something high-volume, turning it up to 11, heavy metal style. It’s gotta be badass and set the mood for the big showdowns coming up later… something hardcore and super manly…

Week 11 Newsletter: Spin That Black Circle
I hate it when people completely skip Thanksgiving and go straight to celebrating Christmas (looking at you, Starbucks/department stores/90% of my coworkers). However, I’ve got to mention the Most Wonderful Time of the Year because it will mark another year that Ewing will not get me a present. Believe it or not, I don’t have…

Week 10 Newsletter: Ragnaroking and Rolling
Two years ago, I watched 100 movies (that I had never seen before) in a year. That’s a new movie for about three/four days. While I loved it because it broadened my horizon and finally crossed off some must-see films from my list, the task also sort of burned me out when it came to…
