TOP TEN
Top Ten Musical Numbers in Non-Musicals Because sometimes life is a musical..but usually it’s just awkward. As usual in no particular order. Day-0/Beetlejuice (1988) It’s easy to forget that everyone’s favorite scene lasts less than 2 minutes of the entire movie because it’s so damn good it permeates the whole thing like one big reggae…

Cartoons That Are Better When You’re High He-Man: Masters of the Universe/She-Ra: Princess of Power I hadn’t watched this in forever and was so focused on putting my mind at ease once and for all about whether or not He-Man and She-Ra were brother and sister or an item that I completely forgot the…

Flickchart’s Greatest Battles In which we pit two movies together using flickchart.com, debating their merits or lack thereof.
