Today I ate Blumhouse Cheetos, which contain a mystery flavor described on the bag as “Sweet Phantom Heat.” These really may be the weirdest food I have ever eaten in my life. My mouth feels like it is trying to remove itself from the rest of my body in protest.

They are called “Sweet Phantom Heat.” But they’re really more like Spicy Cinnamon Raisin.

I grabbed one of these yesterday out of sheer curiosity, and had the exact same experience. I asked my wife, “do you want to try one of the weirdest things I’ve ever eaten?” She did not.

I am not sure I have ever eaten something that more completely broke my brain’s taste receptors. Truly does not compute.

Hello. Hi. I have just eaten maybe the weirdest tie-in food in my 10+ years of eating these things. I am agog. A full report is coming soon to ScreenCrush.

They don’t even have hockey at summer camp why are there so many hockey masks lying around? In hindsight, the red flags were everywhere.

This was fun/agonizing. The PRH video team asked me to blind rank 2000s comedy duos. I have never done something like this before and it was a hilariously stressful exercise.

I was a little disappointed by Primetime, which turns the world of reality TV into a lurid crime drama centered around a very big Robert Pattinson performance.

I have stayed silent for too long. I think Crystal Lake is a bad camp and people should stop sending their kids there. Enough is enough. I hope people read this and take this seriously and don’t ignore the warning signs like I did. Bad stuff keeps happening there.

I do like that they offer spearguns but I do not like that they are not complimentary. Spearguns should not come with an upcharge at summer camp imo.

I cannot say I agree with or condone all of Mrs. Voorhees actions, but you have to admit the woman had some sharp points.

I will say: It is nice that the the lake has a gigantic steamship. I don’t know why it has it. I don’t know why they insist they can sail it to New York City. But the kids do love having a full size steamer to take on day trips to nowhere.

This is how they get people. I know it sounds great to hear a remote camp in the woods with a weird amount of arrows despite a very small archery range is slashing prices. I’m here to tell you, it’s just not worth it.

You gotta read the Yelp review for this camp, man. There are a lot of risks.

Funny Business hits store shelves three weeks from today. And Library Journal says it’s “well-researched”! Who would know more about research than the journalistic embodiment of a library? No one, that’s who! It’s not too late to pre-order a copy: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790241...

An angry message about a months old review got me thinking about the massive disparity between critic and audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes and what they say about pop culture tribalism.

Nothing like someone seeking you on social media just to yell at you for liking movies they didn’t (including Sinners, and as I recall, I was the only film critic in America to enjoy that motion picture) and then blocking you. Ah, the internet.

Harry Nilsson’s “Coconut” is not a song about margaritas. But it does seem to sum up the lime-in-the-coconut mix of tart and sweet tones and genres in these messy (but sometimes very appealing) Practical Magic movies.
