Dear Readers, What took place this past week in Boston was horrendous and truly heartbreaking. We at The Hudsucker extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and community as our thoughts, prayers and love go out to those affected and in the process of healing.

Idol Top 5 Performances: Binders Full of Women
Multiple times this evening the judges declared these five girls “the best top five ever”. First of all, only Randy is qualified to say that and even that’s questionable. But I’ve been here since day one, so I’ll be the judge of that. Our two themes tonight were “Songs From The Year You Were Born” […]
He Said, She Said: Being The Third Wheel
At some point or another, we’ve all experienced being a third wheel. You may have heard the expression before and while it’s not the most pleasant experience, it is something we most often can’t avoid when hanging out with friends and their new significant others. Being one is usually considered a negative thing in any […]
Idol Top 6 Results: Save On Standby
Going into Thursday, I think 90% of the Idolverse expected the judges to have to use their one and only save to maintain the status quo of the five talented ladies this season. It was clear, after Lazaro’s Top 3 placement the week before, that America just wasn’t buying into the “all-girl top five!” plot […]
Ben Affleck: The Renaissance Filmmaker
Every film is its own kind of expedition, and the way you move in that journey depends entirely on the director. Directing isn’t easy but reliance of the script, it should be able to challenge the directors and allow them to break new ground and reinvent their style. As a cinephile, I feel successful directors […]
#ScottBrosIndia LIVE Twitter Chat Raising Awareness for Anti-Child Labor and Trafficking
Children are the soul of our society and the lifeblood of our world. There is no keener revelation of a society’s soul than in the way in which it treats its children. However, it’s a sad reality that not every child in this world is treated with love, respect, and protection. Every day thousands of children […]
The State of Arcades: A Writer’s Memories and Perspectives from Gamers
Growing up with hardcore video game players in my family and a Super Nintendo and original PlayStation in our household (PS2 and 3—which are still active in my lair—arrived during my high school and college years), I mostly stuck to feeding my fighting, puzzle, and adventure game addictions within the confines of homes. Was I […]
Idol Top 6 Performances – Which Girl’s Getting The Save?
I figured I’d just cut to the chase and put it right in the title: we all know that this show is just leading up to the big save that’s going to be used come Thursday night when, inevitably, one of these five talented ladies (channeling my inner Tyra Banks here…) gets the boot over Lazaro. […]
Idol Top 7 Results – Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad
Yes, the title of this recap is a Meatloaf song. An artist that likely could have been part of this past week’s theme but wasn’t for a variety of reasons, one of which is Nigel’s reluctance to clear songs that haven’t been sung to death on the show for anyone but his Chosen Few. Alas, let’s […]
Idol Top 7 Performances: We Will, We Will Rock… Someone?
I have to give Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe credit for trying. He’s realized, by now, that the fuel for the Idol Machine, so to speak, is audience participation. We connected with these performers, we vote for them, we tune in week in and week out and, ultimately, we’re the reason they succeed or fail in […]
Sounds of the Summer: This Season’s Tour and Festival Highlights
Across North America, temperatures are finally starting to warm up and here on the east coast, we’re finally starting to see the sun after what felt like the Winter That Would Not End, summer is finally in sight. I’m definitely having visions of everything that goes along with it – pools, margaritas, sand and the […]
He Said, She Said: Falling in Love With Your Best Friend
Friendships are a key component to our lives and help us grow emotionally and mentally. In all its beauty, the dynamic is essentially rooted in a specific concern and care for a friend. Most times it’s a concern and care which might reasonably be understood as a kind of love, though at times a broader […]
Chase Your Dream Today
Are you chasing after your biggest goals in life? If you aren’t, what fears are stopping you? It is easy to be intimidated by questions like these. It is even easier to push these crucial thoughts to the back of your mind while telling yourself you will deal with it later. But when does “later” […]
