IJM weighs in with Harvick on Danica, NASCAR stardom
There’s a great article from NBC Sports this weekend on Danica Patrick’s exit from NASCAR, and the sport’s need for new “mega star” drivers moving forward. I was a huge Danica supporter, dating all the way back to her rookie season in IndyCar. She brought a ton to the table in terms of exposure (see […]
IJM finally sees Justice League
Finally got around to watching Justice League last night. Believe it or not, I didn’t think it sucked. Was it the best superhero movie I’ve ever seen? Not even close. However, it was a far cry better than Thor: The Dark World, X-Men: The Last Stand, or Spider-Man 3. What didn’t work about this film: […]

Quick thoughts on Star Wars: Rebels, “Jedi Night”
Finally caught the mid-season premiere of Star Wars: Rebels last night after dinner. Boy, that one’s gonna take some time to digest. I maintain that Star Wars under Disney is a mixed bag. I was not a fan of The Last Jedi, and it had nothing to do with female protagonists, overinflated expectations, childhood allegiances, […]
IJM pines for the old days of WWE
Finally got to check out the WWE Raw 25th anniversary special on Hulu last night. Is it just me, or are there no quality pro wrestlers anymore? Seriously, every time one of the new “stars” came out, he or she was complete upstaged by the likes of Steve Austin, Chris Jericho, Ric Flair, DX, and […]
