I review the latest and final studio album from thrash metal legends Megadeth. Is it a modern-day classic, a complete dud or merely so-so? Watch my video and judge for yourself!

Waving my freak flag high as I discuss Dennis Hopper's body of work as a director, including in-depth analysis of Easy Rider, The Last Movie, Out of the Blue, and Backtrack (aka Catchfire). I also discuss Colors, The Hot Spot, Chasers, Hopper's photography, and The American Dreamer documentary. If you're a fan of Dennis Hopper, as both an actor and filmmaker, this is the video for you!

My opinion on a certain kind of YouTube content I don't care for and what I think about modern music. Is any of it good and if so: who are my favorite new music acts?

My tribute to the late and great Ace Frehley. From his classic '78 solo album to his Frehley’s Comet albums and to all of his solo releases afterwards, I rank and review all of Ace's creative output away from KISS.

Hey, I'm back with an in-depth review of The Color of Money movie and soundtrack and Eric Clapton's album August. Do these connected, 1986 releases prove being middle-aged is awesome?

I do the deep dive into this legendary psychedelic rock band, discussing all of their albums from 1966 to 1973, their cultural impact and why I think they need to be part of the conversation whenever talking about the best and most important bands of the 1960s. I also tackle Paul Kantner and Grace Slick's side projects during this time period and ponder the soul of America at the end of the video…!!

In my long-awaited second video about the Paul Is Dead mythology, I reveal further evidence that the Beatles were behind its creation and discuss its inspirations from real-life motor accidents to LSD to author Lewis Carroll and his two Alice books (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass). I also do a deep analysis of how Paul Is Dead works as the Beatles’ Jabberwocky and break down several clues and hidden messages that follow an undeniable pattern. Finally, I reveal the true significance and identity of the walrus: John or Paul?

I explain why I prefer this 1981 sequel to the original and why I think the various creative decisions were spot-on. I also discuss the film’s production, screenwriting, cinematography, music score, the Italian horror “Giallo” influence, Carpenter’s reshoots, the sibling twist, the dark subtextual themes and what really drew Michael Myers to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital...!!

It’s Sabbath vs. Sabbath as I rank every Black Sabbath studio album: the Ozzy era, the Dio era, the Tony Martin era and miscellaneous eras. It’s a video I’ve been promising for years and edited during a hurricane and who knows? There might even be a little Halloween fun. So whether you're throwing up the horns or peace signs, it's finally time to talk some Sabbath and do some album ranking…!!!
