At this point, social media is a place where I post my work and write stray Knicks thoughts. I’ve muted everyone. Unless it’s an Aaron Judge home run or an ad for a product that doesn’t seem ready for market yet, I’m not seeing it. On my other account for Deadseriousness, (follow, yo), Elon’s playground. […]
This is a special peek of the Deadseriousness newsletter Let’s Get This Dread, in which I, Lester Lee, weigh in on hot topics in culture. Sign up here to get it in your inbox. America is destabilizing the globe to fulfill the prejudiced, ill-conceived, reactionary whims of an octogenarian. Jeffrey Epstein’s emergency contact, Donald Trump, believed […]
You don’t work, you don’t eat. Simple as that. Jonathan Majors, the greatest who never was. Marvel built a kingdom Majors lit on fire the night his girlfriend saw him texting another girl, he beat her unconscious and then called the police on himself. Too villainous for Kang The Conqueror, I reckon. Kang destroys realities, […]
The 2026 NFL Draft approaches. In a moon’s cycle, a new crop enters the league for harvest. Potential unrealized. Anything is possible. Hope springs eternal. The ESPN machine fills the next 30 days with bold claims, declarative statements, no proof required. “Who will be the next Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes?” -a panel of experts […]
Directed by (and also starring), Louis Theroux—Netflix’s newest documentary “Inside The Manosphere” is a tame, surface-level look into the lives of 4 internet influecers—HSTikkyTokky, Sneako, Myron Gaines and Justin Waller—who’ve amassed fortunes through kindergaten level “girls have cooties” content for young men who’ve been bludgeon by life, looking for someone to blame. The “red pill”-ers […]
This year, James Gunn’s DC experiment officially launched, Superman fighting Lex Luthor is a standard, table-setting adventure that didn’t make me beg for a Superman 2, but also didn’t let Superman watch his father die in a tornado when he could’ve easily saved him with superspeed without anyone noticing. The next DC event is […]
It’s the end of the year, a time when we writers pretend to be gatekeepers and tastemakers, deciding which art deserves preservation, stealing easy engagement with end-of-year wrap-ups. My turn. (Check out my newsletter to read My Top 50 Albums of 2025) Okay, let’s get into it. Here are my 1o favorite films of 2025: […]

This week a full, solo review of Netflix’s “A House of Dynamite” (Spoilers..duh) We open to ominous sounds and a crawl explaining the state of the […]
The best actors make fools of themselves. The Bugs Bunny x-gene, able to physically transform into whatever the story demands. They can flatten under a falling piano, shoot like a rocket into space from stepping one toe into boiling hot water, rizz up a threat to their lives. Hover over a cliff. Etc. One Battle […]
I. Am. For. Sale. Toooo many folks crashing out and cashing out around me—while I write my cute little jokes—for free. Every week, I see someone like Robert Griffin III, sitting next to his wife—who looks like his little brother, using a fake Sega Genesis controller, so she feels like they’re working together—giving his annoying […]
War of the Worlds is a modern reimaging of H. G. Wells’s original story from the 1800s, a story retold countless times over the years. Tom Cruise starred in one 20 years ago with Dakota Fanning. It was fine. Perfect movie for a Sunday afternoon in bed after a long ass Saturday night in the streets. […]
Tires on Netflix is one of my favorite new shows. Comedian Shane Gillis plays an immature, underachieving car mechanic This scene pretty sums up Gillis’s character. Tires Season 2, a Netflix comedy series starring Shane Gillis, premieres June 5. pic.twitter.com/AWIttveW2f — Netflix Is A Joke (@NetflixIsAJoke) April 1, 2025 And in 2025, this is everyone […]
Dear Riley Gaines, I pray this reaches your eyes—although I understand how busy you must be changing the world. See, you are an inspiration to folks like me. Whenever I see you trending—standing up against trans women in sports—a non-issue to most people because statistically, there are sooooo few trans women attempting to participate […]
I used to be obsessed with Deadseriousness page views. It was the only thing I cared about. I’d go entire days without eating—pumping out 10,15,20 garbage, clickbait articles to collect wildly fluctuating views—as I flippantly exploited teacher/student sex scandals and embarrassed addicts displaying Florida Man-esque behaviors for inconsistent checks from Google. Just churning out shitty, […]
Welcome to Deadseriousness Movie reviews. Today, let’s talk about Netflix’s expensive waste of time, The Electric State. Last year in an interview with The Sun, Millie Bobby Brown admitted she didn’t like watching movies. “I don’t watch movies. People come up to me and say, ‘You should definitely watch this movie, it would change […]
