To celebrate our fifth birthday, each Earn This contributor is selecting his five favorite things from the past five years. Here are Brian’s picks. 5. “Thneedville” – The Lorax soundtrack, John Powell (2012) God I love this song. I’ve mentioned previously how fiendishly difficult it is to produce a good, feature-length adaptation of a Dr. Seuss…
That’s right, I’m back again, for a final FINAL chapter of “Ten Things Brian Likes.” I won’t stop beating this dead horse ’til it’s glue. In the first half of my honorable mentions, I acknowledged ten more topics about which I’m passionate. Now, to close out the series, I’m returning to the original ten “canonical” categories,…
I’ve put together two quick Honorable Mentions posts to cap off the “Ten Things Brian Likes” series. These are intended to be brisk reads, and so I’ll keep it brief, even though some of the subjects touched on could furnish an entire article. In this first half, I wanted to share ten more Things I…
Halloween season is almost here! The annual “Creepy Classics Countdown” (heavily influenced by James Rolfe’s Monster Madness) will be unfolding all October over at Brian Terrill Movie Night. Following up on yesterday’s “Countdown’s Past” post, here’s a compilation of the selections from my 2013 series. Kindly excuse the exorbitant length. (Heheheheheheheh.) #1: “(Hush, Hush, Hush)…

Provided I ever actually finish my “Small-Screen 66 Countdown” over at Brian Terrill Movie Night, The Muppet Show is set to rank…
In our last installment, we looked at a filmmaker who began his official filmography when he was nine years old. Today I’ll be talking about a game I’ve been working on since I was nine. Or rather, a story I started when I was nine which became a game when I was eleven. Maybe it’s…
Ever wish you could make a living by sitting on your couch and talking about pop culture? If so, you’re not alone…so-called “internet reviewers” are a dime a dozen.

“Where the hell are they?” “The appropriate question is, when the hell are they?” -Marty & Doc, Back to the Future If you’ve read many of my articles here on EarnThis, there’s a good chance you already knew that Brian Likes this one.

Okay. Here’s the lowdown, ladies and gents. I know you haven’t heard from me in a while.
