Last night’s episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was the best one yet. The unintentional vs. intentional hilarity factor was pretty balanced, and the bulk of the episode focused on Cameron’s backstory. Smart move, considering she’s easily the most compelling, well-written, well-acted character on the show. Plus she’s played by Summer Glau of Serenity/Firefly fame:

It’s really hard to believe that the election is a little over a month away (not that we’re going to have a winner on Nov. 4th without a huge ruckus but still, a girl can dream). Personally I have a lot of unanswered questions, most of the answers I can find by visiting the candidates websites, reading the NY Times…
Yooooo, so back when I used to hang out at The Lodge which was (and is) a really dope restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, also known as Hipsterville, also known as the “other” Bedford Ave, also known as “Are you serious?! This small ass apartment is 2500 bucks?” town, I used to always see this awesome dude who looked remarkably, like a…

ACL EDITION
I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Austin City Limits Festival this past weekend, so I wanted to highlight the best of the best (and I must say, the rest of the rest was really good, so it was difficult to narrow the list down after 3 days and 130 bands, but the top ten must remain ten…
Well the autumn is upon is, and so is that nagging feeling that we are being pulled inexorably towards our deaths. Happy coming October!
Here to help you celebrate the ever-shorter days is a list of the most bizarre deaths recorded throughout history thanks to longtime listener, firsttime contributor, Wikipedia. A lot of deaths by laughter (official term: fatal hilarity- no…

The first presidential debate is tonight. If you aren’t seeing it with people, you are missing out on rowdy crowds in the great democratic state of New York. If you want somewhere to go click here.

BRAWL – Episode 1 : Twilight Ruin from There Will Be BRAWL
Victor found this so I can’t take the credit for it, but you will laugh, and you will fall in love. I guarantee those two things to be true.
Often I wish animals would learn to speak and become citizens, not because I want a monkey butler, or would dig having a bespectacled rhino as a boss, but because I’ve always wanted to see UFC: Animal Edition. Who would really win in a battle between a bear and a shark? What if you threw a crocodile into the mix,…
The geek have officially inherited the Earth, as was prophesied in Psalms 37:7 (more or less) so many bearded men ago. It’s a fairly recent thing, having happened somewhere between Google’s ascent to ubiquity, the second installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the eyebrow-raising popularity of Weird Al’s White & Nerdy. And since history is told by the…
Come with me, friends, to another time. Let’s say 1998ish. Ross and Rachel rule the airwaves, ER is hailed as the Best Drama Evar. As the sun sets on Seinfeld, critics mourn its passing, proclaiming that we’re not likely to see a show of its brilliance ever again.
I watched an episode of Seinfeld yesterday. It’s still funny, despite the canned…
I sincerely hope I made every attempt to be fair and honest and if I left off a film you love, please know that it was not with malice and there are only ten spots. I even split them into two genres because taking any of these off the list kind of made my heart hurt. Also, feel free to…
So we here at popten got together and assembled a gigantic list of our favorite albums of the past decade. Then we voted on each others choices. It is amazing how wide a variety of listening styles your trusty pop culture gurus have. I’ve assembled the top vote-getters into a trusty A to Z list. Albums are in order by…
Clearly, this decade has offered much in the way of hip-hop evolution, even though many purists and true schoolers argue that the street music has been gentrified, and diluted to an almost unrecognizable form. Blah. It’s still hip hop the same way the Catera is still a Cadillac. Things change. And things have changed. Major.
