RHETT RHODES

      I don't know about any other movie fan out there did this growing up, but when I was a kid I used to randomly select VHS tapes from the local DVD+VHS rental place where I grew up that I had never heard of or seen. Most of these times, I'd be with my grandma and renting a VHS was not even two bucks I don't think, so she was pleased to take a nap while I watched whatever I'd rented. I hated renting DVD's because if it had been rented before there was always a more than ten percent chance that it was going to skip at some point during the film due to some asinine dillhole leaving it out of the rental case at their filthy house and their dog probably stepped on it and the back always looks like a toddler licked it. So I'd be kind and rewind that shit instead. One fateful day, I was browsing the PG-13 and R rated section of the VHS's to rent because as a kid like I've mentioned more than once before, I was basically allowed to rent what I wanted as long...

  The OF Tape Vol. 1 cover via Internet Archives     Almost every Odd Future fan out there has obviously heard the Odd Future Tape Vol. 2 , the collective's only collaborative group studio effort, but I can guarantee that not many Odd Future fans these days truly go check out the OF Tape Vol. 1 and bump it all the way through; every single track. I for one, WAS one of those fans until last night when I decided to listen to the entire thing, and tonight I'm probably going to re-listen to it. I actually really fucking liked it a lot, and I had more reasons than one and some thoughts on it so I figured it was best to review the project.     First and foremost, it's honestly an inspiring mixtape to listen to. Even though the quality isn't always the best at times, the mixing and recording was extremely rough, and the songs often have some try-hard lyrics/choruses that were meant to be catchy and get heads nodding, but now in 2022 sound a little lame. That's j...

  Freddie's Inferno album cover via SoundCloud     To the surprise of fans and everyone alike, Freddie Dredd released his newest album titled 'Freddie's Inferno' to all streaming platforms at midnight on August 11th, 2022. Giving just a slight preview as to what the album holds, Freddie sneakily released three singles prior to the albums release, 'Greed', 'Wrath', and finally 'Kick Rocks' which features fellow rapper Lil Darkie and was released just two weeks ago. Last night I sat down and played some Call of Duty Zombies and listened to the whole album nearly twice. It's tight twenty eight minute runtime is a bit shorter than I was expecting it to fully be after seeing Freddie Dredd tweet two nights ago about the album. But, I enjoy that runtime more than his previous albums, 'Suffer', which was a whopping sixreen minutes long and only ten tracks. Playing that album once is disappointing because it ends so quickly, but with Freddie...

      As any Jackass fan knows, Bam Margera is known to relapse quite a lot and has often went to social media, mostly Instagram, to post extremely explicitly angry rants about every nook and cranny of misfortune that has blown his way. Bam ended up taking an  Adderall pill during the early filming process of 2022's hit theatrical film 'Jackass Forever' directed by Jackass co-creator and usual director Jeff Tremaine, which caused him to fail a mandatory drug test and of course got him kicked off of the film. Not completely however, as Bam wrote and participated in the 'Marching Band' stunt seen in the movie. That pleased a handful of fans, but a majority sum were irritated that Bam wasn't in it as a starring figure like he was once before, but alas the movie earned over eighty million dollars in theaters worldwide against a staggering ten million dollar production budget. via  b-a-m-margera on tumblr     On the latest episode of Steve-O's Wild Ride pod...

      One of my favorite movies of all time is the Kyle Patrick Alvarez film The Stanford Prison Experiment, which was released in 2015 by IFC Films and starred Billy Crudup, Ezra Miller, Tye Sheridan, and Michael Angarano among many others. I had always thought Ezra Miller's sanity losing role in that film was executed perfectly and captured my attention and emotions for sure. But these days, when I hear about Ezra Miller, it's always really bad things. Usually he's getting arrested or causing controversies on Twitter, and as of recently if you don't already know he has been arrested again which it isn't surprising, but the reasonings behind it this time definitely are surprising. At least to me.     Miller, 29, was arrested for a felony burglary on August 7th, 2022 after being identified on a security camera installed either inside or outside of the home. He decided it was a really great idea to sneak in and steal 'alcohol bottles', as reported by almost e...

  Michael Pitt in Dawson's Creek in 1999, via iMDB     I remember back in 2019 I binged watched every single episode; every single second of the WB teen drama series ' Dawson Creek '. And even right now thinking of Dawson's Creek makes me want to have a panic attack because of how fast time has gone since that particular and strangely nostalgic time three years ago. Well, I remember while watching the show I was also incredibly into the movies Bully, and The Dreamers, both of which star Michael Pitt and were two of his earliest lead roles in major motion pictures. I was just sort of in awe at how diverse a lot of these roles were, and how nearly perfect they were portrayed by Pitt that I decided to watch a handful of his other early film works (and read about some without watching them hahaha) and I'm here now to go through them with you and let you know what's cool about them or why I think they're so unique.

     At first glance when stumbling across the YouTube account ' ChezzKids Archive ', one might actually scroll on implicating that it's actually an archive channel that posts content from an old early 2000's flash game called 'ChezzKids'. The channel presents the content as 'findings', explaining that Chezz.com A.K.A. ChezzKids was an old website for kids to learn and play flash games that hasn't existed since the early 2000's as it went defunct leaving no trace of its existence anywhere online. One person as it seems has dedicated the YouTube account, an Instagram account, and a Twitter account to Chezz, asking any viewers for information or other findings they might have. And if you haven't guessed it by now, the Chezz website, flash games, and just all of it in general aren't real pieces of lost media and it was all created for the purpose of entertainment, but to me it's an extremely interesting and unique ongoing art piece that ...

    Growing up, being the type of soul to always reflect on memories, I've tried to keep a collection of what's said or what happens in my life for as long as I could possibly remember. I've had countless journals and notebooks filled out over the last few years of useless information about myself; For example: I remember right now in this moment at the age of twenty three that back at the age of eleven, I would often think back of times when I was just developing a memory; three or four years old. It's incredibly interesting to me how it seems strange that not very many people I've known have ever really spoken of their first memories. Most people probably don't because of the postpartum depression like symptoms they get whenever their daydream about their teen years turns into a hard to handle nostalgia battle. That you'll lose. Always.     When I was extremely young, sometime between the ages of four to six I went with my brothers and my grandma East of t...

  Interview with Mark Vomit by Rhett Rhodes via Mark Vomit on Giphy     If you've ever explored the website or app  Tumblr  then there might be a chance you've seen a gif from multi-disciplinary artist  Mark Vomit  at one point or another. Maybe even without realizing it as Mark, besides his original VHS digitized art pieces, also creates gifs from old media whether it be a 90's commercial or a mid-2000s award show. The effort, artistic vision, and originality in Mark Vomit's gifs and art pieces that he creates himself (like the one linked above) are always unique, aesthetically pleasing, and more often than not, very humorous.     Vomit makes his art more or less for himself more than anyone, proving that he truly is great at what he does; if he likes it, he'll post it. While also being on the social media platforms Instagram and Twitter, Mark's largest audience resides on Tumblr where some of his original art has gone viral more than once. ...
