Confessions of a part time snob.
Phineas and Ferb
Yes it’s a dumb kids cartoon but every time my daughter wrangles me into watching an episode with her I’m taken by how great it really is. Clever, funny, 💯 music.
Mean Girls
I know this is no surprise to you smart people but I’m an old guy with no tolerance for “high school” movies. Except, this movie is 💯 and one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. It is also sincerely sweet.
Harry Potter
I adore Harold Bloom like an awesome cranky uncle but Harry Potter is great. Sure it isn’t the most literary thing in the world but it has 💯 characterization + great imagination that courses from beginning to end and it is genuinely moving.
Billy Collins
All the smart literary people think this guy is like pop-poetry junk or something but honestly I love him. 💯 humor + real humanity + perfect delivery.
Kraft macaroni and cheese
I’m not a big packaged food fan, partly for health but mostly because it tastes gross. I can’t think of any food I enjoy that includes neon color or a packet of powder. Except this, which tastes 💯.
