Entertainment & Pop Culture
Freddie Mercury Goes To Hollywood
Of all the musicians with HIV in the history of music, our crowned jewel in the positoid community is, without a doubt, Freddie Mercury of Queen. Don't get me wrong, there have been many other greats- Andy Bell of Erasure, Holly Johnson of Frankie Goes To Hollywood,...
Favorite TV Show of 2010: Infomania
I know a lot of people like The Soup and Tosh.0, but when I want someone standing in front of a green screen delivering the funnies, I want Infomania. In my humble opinion it is the best because of it's great cast of purveyors of wit and pop culture observations....

T & Avatar: Piranha 3D A Bloody Good Time
It's been a while since I've reviewed a movie with my movie-reviewing partner, Steve Schalchlin, or, as we are collectively known, the Hemo2Homo Connection. Right now, Steve (whose partner, Jim Brochu, is starring in the hilarious play, Zero Hour) is in the process...

I grew up as a huge fan of horror movies, and the series of Friday the 13th movies were among my favorite. Jason Voorhees and his machete justice inspired me and my friends to purchase a plastic hockey mask and play out the movies every time the calendar reached that...
Tag Team of the Century: Hot Beef Injection
One of the best things about Legends of Wrestlemania is that you can create tag teams and then name them. And the name comes up on the screen in the same font that was used on the television shows when I was a kid. If I'd been booking wrestling matches and calling...
