This week, we preview the best stuff at NYCC, review House with a Clock in its Walls, chat up horror movies that don't hold up and run down the WWE Super Showdown card.

The Bumblebee trailer dropped and we are over the moon with excitement for what looks like the first good Transformers movie since the first one. Why are we psyched? Maybe it’s the appearance of classic Transformers like Soundwave, Starscream and Ravage or maybe it’s the fact that they actually look like the Transformers of our […]

This week on Mai Tai Happy Hour, Hambone went and saw Willie Nelson and then started thinking sad thoughts about all the bands you should see before they die. I thought this was silly considering none of us could have predicted that the Ramones and Joe Strummer would be dead at 50, but you gamble when you wait to see your favorite bands.

It's fall TV preview time and on this week's Mai Tai Happy Hour we discuss the new shows you should be watching, the ones you should skip and The Purge. Picture Hambone watching The Mayans MC and you know what you're in for.

The Mai Tai Happy Hour Punk Rock Canon continues this month with our latest nomination — “GI” by the legendary Germs. We get down and dirty as to whether the snottiest punk record of all time deserves to enter the illustrious annals of punkdom or whether “GI” is really the drizzle shits.  Meanwhile Hambone continues […]
