If not me, who? If not now, how about next week?...

Nicole finally put her roll to the test last week. She narrates her memoir of that test and we dive into the elements that make up competition at the amateur level....

Car horns! Questionable foreign exchange programs! Canadian miners! Find a beer and regale with us....

Do you have doubts about your confirmation biases? Do you complain about them? Join us!...

Polka dots, tofu, bad haircuts, and a tarp full of blood. This is Korean cinema....
