Medium Cool is a weekly series related to popular culture, mostly film, TV, and books, with some music and games thrown in. We hope it’s a welcome break from the anger, hate, and idiocy we see almost daily from the other side in the political sphere.
Arguments welcomed, opinions respected, fools un-suffered. We’re here every Sunday at 7 pm.
Are there books, movies, TV shows, plays, musicals that other people seemed to love but you did not? And the reverse! Books, movies, TV shows, plays, musicals that you love, but others don’t?
I’ll go first.
I simply cannot understand the draw of The Simpsons, South Park, anything horror, anything with snakes, and *all reality shows. Anything I like is, of course, beloved by everyone. (Not intended as a factual statement.)
*baking shows excepted
One final thought from me. When there’s a mismatch, are you out of step with the world, or is the world out of step with you?
