My Worst Opinions
I’m approaching my sixth anniversary of running this blog all about my personal opinions, and that got me thinking – are there any opinions I’d retract in hindsight? Are there things I said in the past which seem stupid nowadays? And so I went back through every single one of my posts, and let meContinue reading “My Worst Opinions”
“…Like Clockwork” (Queens of the Stone Age) – Every Song Ranked
I’ve always been aware of Queens of the Stone Age and liked their work, but it was only when listening to “…Like Clockwork” in full for my 2013 Music Retrospective that I became a true fan. This is such an excellent album, front to back, and there are individual songs here that have become recentContinue reading ““…Like Clockwork” (Queens of the Stone Age) – Every Song Ranked”
Every “Hannibal” Episode Ranked
It’s been a few years since I finished “Hannibal”, and a couple of years since my re-watch.

I ranked the seasons a while ago (a short list considering there’s only three!),Continue reading “Every “Hannibal” Episode Ranked”

God Of War: Ragnarok – All Nine Realms Ranked
We couldn’t have asked for much more from 2018’s “God Of War” reboot. It had everything – tight combat, an amazing story with fleshed-out characters, an expansive journey through the realms … well, not all the realms. One of my biggest dreams for the sequel, “Ragnarok”, was to be able to explore all nine realmsContinue reading “God Of War: Ragnarok – All Nine Realms Ranked”
“Rick And Morty” Season 8 – Every Episode Ranked
“Rick and Morty” Season 8 is finally on Netflix, which means it’s time for me to rank some more episodes! As I’ve done with previous seasons, I’ll give each episode a graded score to mark their quality. It was a mixed bag this season, so the grades should help to set the episodes apart. BeforeContinue reading ““Rick And Morty” Season 8 – Every Episode Ranked”
Every “Stranger Things” Season Ranked
After almost a decade, “Stranger Things” has finally finished airing its last season. It ended up being quite controversial … but that’s not the only thing I’m going to be talking about today. I’m going to rank all five seasons of the show from worst to best, giving my reasoning as to why the seasonContinue reading “Every “Stranger Things” Season Ranked”
