He cracks wise about Imperial measurements (feet and yards, used in the US) and converts them to metric (meters and centimeters, used in Canada)....

Prior to that, the game also sandbagged a Battlefield V co-op mode that had been missing at launch and was met with negative feedback once it was finally introduced as a lackluster addition to the game....

Among Disney’s selection of modern animated movies, Big Hero 6 is criminally underrated. Marvel fans may occasionally bemoan Disney’s influence on the MCU, but the House of Mouse’s purchase of Marvel Entertainment in 2009 did at least produce the wonderful Big Hero 6. Based on the little known comic of the same name, Big Hero 6 tells the story of young Hiro Hamada, who teams up with his deceased brother’s college friends and a giant white cushion to reveal a conspiracy and take down a shady businessman....

Last week, in a school district in Tennessee, it was the removal of MAUS, the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel by Art Spiegelman, that retells the Holocaust story through the eyes of mice oppressed by fascist cats. This week, we learned of a Texas school district, Granbury (pop. 11,000), removing over 125 titles from library shelves. This comes amid the news of pushback by parents to proposals by Rep. Matt Krause, R-TX, and other lawmakers to pull hundreds of titles from libraries in Texas school districts due to content related to race and sexuality....

Breaking Bad is rightfully classified as one of the greatest shows to ever hit the little screen, and it would take a laundry list a mile wide to cover all the reasons why. Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and the series creator, Vince Gilligan truly did the world a favor when they introduced us to the unlikely duo of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. While, undoubtedly, the most famous faces from the show, several other characters crossed Walter and Jesse’s path throughout the series six-year run and quite a few of them caused some trouble for the crystal-meth king-pins of the south-west with their intellectual competence....
