The Best of The Week

I read a lot of trash where and when other people might watch mindless TV or play video games. And when I say trash, I mean it honestly, and without a shred of negative judgment.

When I awoke the next day, I went on E2 to find this magical write-up, luckily I made it all up in my mind as I was dreaming, so I get to make it for you!
