Critical Hits & Misses #127


  • Stephen! Stephen! Stephen! Mr. Stephen Colbert, sans persona, will host the 2017 Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, September 17th.

  • So the Big Game is this weekend in the US, and if you're like me, you only care about the commercials because you hate the Patriots (or possibly you just don't like American football). We're neither a beer blog nor a sports blog, but Budweiser's Super Bowl commercial is worth talking about, because it uses this opportunity to tell a little known immigrant story: its own. In light of this week's ban on Muslim immigrants, this is particularly topical. 

For today's musical hit, we have Flogging Molly's "Revolution"
