Equipped with a disease-ridden indoor playground, this restaurant is perfect for family dinners. There is a spacious dining area that contains many seating options, including tables and chairs, a corner booth, and long benches. This McDonald’s is near Highway 41 and perfect for a place to stop after sports events because this glamorous restaurant has a nice area for large groups. Stop by to dine in at this location from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, and a two-lane drive-through available until 12:00 a.m.Green BayMcDonald’s (920/429-2026): This McDonald’s is located at 2600 Packerland Drive in Green Bay next to the Austin-Straubel Airport. Although dining inside is not an option, I have visited this location, and the line moves quickly, especially during breakfast time. Another advantage is the patient customer service, which makes curbside pick-up easy. Open from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11:00 p.m. on the weekend.
When a man from India’s slums does a little too well on a game show, he finds himself under suspicion by the police, who believe him to be cheating. The entire premise of this movie hinges on the belief that its audience is gullible enough to believe that someone can win a game show—and through luck alone, at that. Nice try, Danny Boyle. I’m not buying it.
After discovering $2 million dollars at the site of a drug deal gone bad in the desert, a hunter finds himself pursued by a relentless assassin who will stop at nothing to see the money recovered. Meanwhile, the sheriff of a local small town investigates a mysterious rash of deaths in the surrounding area. No Country for Old Men is almost a good movie, except for one very fatal flaw: A guy walks around with a bowl cut like that in 2007, and no one suspects that he’s a murderer? Sorry, but no one is that nonjudgmental. Maybe this movie’s body count would be lower if these people just exercised some common sense.
Wallace and Gromit are back in their most frightening assignment yet: freeing the town from the tyrannical paw of the were-rabbit eating everyone’s crops. After Wallace and Gromit start a new pest-control service to rid their tiny English town of its rabbit problem before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, a monstrous were-rabbit—a man who turns into a rabbit beneath the light of the full moon—begins terrorizing the town. Can Wallace and Gromit uncover the identity of the were-rabbit and save the town’s vegetables before it’s too late? This is a truly chilling film for gardeners everywhere. 
You know how in Scooby Doo, the ghosts and monsters always turn out to be guys in costumes? What if, one time, the ghosts and monsters turned out to be real? And even worse, what if Scrappy Doo was there? When Scooby, Shaggy, and Scrappy are hired as gym teachers at Miss Grimwood’s Finishing School for Girls, they quickly learn that the school is set up to teach the daughters of supernatural beings—a list including Frankenstein’s monster, Count Dracula, the Wolfman, and the Mummy. And that’s not the scariest part! There’s also a witch after the girls, and if Scooby, Shaggy, and Scrappy don’t keep them safe, then their fathers will not be pleased. Scooby Doo & the Ghoul School is a spine-tingling tale for the whole family to enjoy… if they’re brave enough.
Clary Fray is your average, everyday, artsy teen girl next door. However, when she witnesses three teenagers commit a murder at a club in New York City, things quickly devolve into hell in a handbasket. Upon returning home, Clary discovers her mother is missing, presumably kidnapped, and she gets attacked by a demonic monster, only to be saved in the nick of time by the three teenagers she encountered. Over the next 24 hours, she is quickly pulled into the world of her saviors, also known as Shadowhunters—or warriors who can see and fight demons—and must try to survive. Will Clary find her mother? Why can she see the demons, even if she isn’t a Shadowhunter? How will she survive in this new world?
It is a truth universally acknowledged that there are way too many Pride and Prejudice adaptations in the world. Modern-day authors have set Jane Austen’s best-known work in the dog show world, converted Elizabeth and Darcy into high-school debate-team rivals, and turned Mr. Darcy into a vampire. It’s enough to make a purist’s head explode. 
Have you ever wanted to listen to a movie review podcast that only talks about one movie once a year? Well, neither have I until today! ‘Til Death do us Blart is a comedy podcast where the creators of the podcasts My Brother, My Brother and Me and The Worst Idea of All Time come together to talk about the film Paul Blart Mall Cop 2. That’s right, not the first movie but the second one. These men chose to discuss this movie once every year on Thanksgiving, and they all have collectively decided to keep up the tradition for as long as they live. I never expected someone to be able to talk about the same movie over and over again, but the guys somehow make it work. They are a hilarious group of individuals that keep coming up with new things to discuss about each episode even though it’s about the same movie. This podcast never fails to make me smile or laugh out loud. This podcast is definitely one of a kind and deserves a listen.
Produced by the production company Wondery and hosted by Saachi Koul and Sarah Hagi, Scamfluencers is a strangely interesting podcast about—you guessed it—people pulling enormous scams. Ranging from episodes on big names like Martin Shkreli, Tom Brady, and Todd Chrisley to lesser-known scams by people like Stephane Bourgoin, Koul and Hagi cover it all. They start at the very beginning, completing a profile early on in every episode on the scam artist chosen for that week. They detail their life, and weave an enlightening tale that spirals into an over-the-top scam every time. At some points, you may even find yourself rooting for the scammer, but they always get found out in the end. Koul and Hagi provide fresh eyes to many types of stories from scammers from all walks of life, and they do so with funny commentary and heartfelt earnestness. Scamfluencers can be listened to wherever you find your podcasts, though I personally listen to Koul and Hagi’s many episodes on Apple Podcasts.
A wonderful classic, Good Burger (1997) is based on a comedy sketch of the same name from the Nickelodeon television series All That. Featuring Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell as fellow high school students Dexter and Ed. The two meet when they get into a predicament where they need to work together. Ed is the source of a minor car crash between Dexter (who does not have a license) and his teacher. To pay for the damages, Dexter gets a summer job working with Ed at Good Burger, a burger-and-fries diner that has some very quirky employees. Although Ed is down-to-earth, his naïve decisions put himself and Dexter into some pretty difficult situations. Mondo Burger, a competitive new burger restaurant, opens just across the road from Good Burger, and the diner’s flow of customers quickly dwindles.
If the name Captain Beefheart doesn’t immediately have your attention, he will hold it the entire time you listen. Like a car accident, you cannot take your eyes (and ears) off of Trout Mask Replica. Captain Beefheart leads the band like a musical dictator to make the album sound exactly how he wanted it to, practically turning the band into a cult. Between being unable to leave the house they recorded at, barely allowed to eat, and effectively forced into practicing the music for 14 hours a day, the members of the band had their work cut out for them. Despite this unique style of leadership, on top of the Captain’s already eccentric tastes, this album is truly one of a kind. As equally parts mesmerizing as it is brilliant, there is truly nothing else like Trout Mask Replica, and I highly doubt there ever will be.
Do you love Twilight? Do you like board games with questions based more on the books than the advertised movie on the box? Well, where the hell have you been, loca? It’s time to bring out your inner “Twihard.” Immerse yourself in the universe that enthralled a generation by playing mediocre trivia and write down answers to questions like, “Close your eyes. How many windows are in the room?” Move your pieces along the board and follow the instructions found on each square you land on. Challenge yourselves and your friends by calling upon your vast vault of useless Twilight knowledge and be the first to collect all eight scene cards.
Have you ever wanted to play one of the best dating simulators of all time? Well, then this is the game for you. My Horse Prince is a mobile dating simulator about a businesswoman who has grown tired of her city life and decides to quit her job and head to the countryside. She has been single most of her life, so as she leaves the city, she is also on the search for a romantic partner. The woman decides to check out a racing-horse ranch to find her true love, but the one guy that catches her eye isn’t quite what she was expecting. This gentleman is tall, handsome, and kind, but he also has four legs. Our protagonist has fallen for a horse with a human face. This app does an amazing job of building the relationship between this girl and the horse. Their chemistry is off the charts, and this horse is as charming as they get. Not only does this app have amazing storytelling, but it also has mini-games as you help take care of this handsome horse. I highly recommend everyone check out this game once as it is an experience I will never forget. It is free in the app store on most devices. Available for Android and iOS. 
The graphics of Talking Horse are quite honestly amazing. Horse is absolutely adorable with a charming smile and a little laugh when you click on him. Horse also comes with a pet fish! There is a cute little chick that winks at you and her egg siblings that hide in the horse’s dresser drawer. For some reason, there is a TV that says hello and then shows each letter of the alphabet in green letters, and sometimes when you click on it, a little kid even reads off the letters to you. The horse has a dance button that makes him dance to music. He also has a fart button, and two other button options you can unlock with coins you gain by playing games, watching ads, or by purchase.
Ride to Hell: Retribution set out to be the next great Grand Theft Auto, riding around on your motorcycle, kicking ass, and not letting anyone tell you what you can or can’t do. Sounds like a great idea for a video game, right? Unlimited player freedom? Live life as a dangerous biker? Get the girl? The only thing that Ride to Hell: Retribution has accomplished is the actual sensation of what it is like riding into hell when you play this forsaken video game. It is, by far, one of the worst games ever made and published. Why is it so bad? Everything. God. Damn. Everything. The graphics look like what happens when you put a blow torch on a Barbie doll, all melted plastic with a fresh coating of paint to make it resemble something human. The sounds in this game make me want to hurl my headphones into the wall and slam it
