The 6 Best Wu-Tang Clan Albums You’ve Never Heard
By Hoff Matthews
This Saturday marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), the debut album from perhaps the greatest rap group of all time, the Wu-Tang Clan. Over the past two decades, the crew’s nine members (ten members? eight?) have released a treasure trove of records that are now rightly regarded as hip-hop classics.
They’ve also released a bunch of records that aren’t. Whattaya gonna do? Happens to the best of us.
But the Clan’s back catalog is so deep that while sifting through it will net you plenty of lackluster solo releases and ill-advised side projects, here and there you’ll also find some gems that have been unfairly overlooked. So, drawing on all of my expertise as a white guy from Connecticut who started listening to Wu-Tang two years ago, I now present the Clan’s most underrated releases. Read more…

6 Movie Plot Holes (and How to Explain Them)
By Hoff Matthews
Movies depict all sorts of things that we never encounter in the real world—time travel, aliens, magic, etc.—and we as audiences are willing to suspend our disbelief for the sake of the transporting experiences that made-up stories can deliver. Sometimes, however, movies contradict not just the rules of the real world, but the rules that they themselves have set up within their own stories. This can be distracting and seriously undermine your enjoyment of a film—unless you do what I do and use your imagination to fill in the gaps that the filmmakers have left open. Sometimes this process can even make the movie more enjoyable than it was before!
Here, then, are some of the biggest movie plot holes I’ve noticed—and some thoughts on how to make them make sense: Read more…
