Long gone are the days of Dwight Schrute with his endearing, awkward, know-it-all, beet-loving ridiculousness. Now Rainn Wilson is playing the field, you might say, grabbing gruff and cranky roles (Backstrom), cartoon voice acting roles (Adventure Time!), and the occasional nerdy roles (Star Trek: Discovery). One thing hasn’t changed though, he’s still a big goofy […]

It has been almost exactly six years since Jason Pierce aka J. Spaceman and his band, Spiritualized, have performed in Seattle. In April of 2013, they were in town and played at The Neptune Theatre in support of Sweet Heart, Sweet Light. On that tour, two new tracks were debuted that would eventually turn up […]

“You really are so f*cking boring.” – Salma Hayek as Eva Torres I mean. That pretty much sums up this movie. The Hummingbird Project is about two cousins: Vicent (Jesse Eisenberg, Eisenberg’ing as hard he possibly can), and Anton (Alexander Skarsgård, balding and *slightly* pot-bellied – aka shocking his many fans by playing outside his […]
Jordan Peele is back with his second horror film, and ohmygod it is a RIDE. Us starts off in 1986, with a tiny television airing a commercial for Hands Across America – the controversial fundraising effort that spurred protests and didn’t really deliver on its lofty promises of helping the homeless (put a pin in […]
I’m excited to give a hearty “Welcome back!” to our Coffee with a Rockstar column. We started it back in 2003 (about 10 years before Jerry Seinfeld started drinking coffee with comedians) as a way to find out the coffee preferences (and other important details) from our favorite musicians. In this installment of of CWAR, […]
Low is performing live at Neumos on Wednesday, 20th March. Concert details and ticket information is available here. For a band who has been around since 1994 and released a dozen studio albums, Low has been incredibly consistent. From the abjectly funereal I Could Live in Hope (1994) to languid reflection of Secret Name (1999), […]
Another year, another entry in the MCU — only with one HUGE difference: this time, we’ve got a woman in the lead. And it’s a pretty big fucking deal. Set in 1995, Captain Marvel gives us the origin story of Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), who starts out as “Vers,” a member of an elite band of […]
