Uncle Crizzle
Uncle Crizzle (originally Uncle Crizzle's Wide, Wild World of Pop; don't know when the name change happened) is a pop-culture blog I think some of you read. Whatever stuff that's happening in contemporary arts and entertainment that I find either great or goofy, I write a post and somebody out there gets a kick of it.
And now, for the first time ever, where the name "Uncle Crizzle" came from:
For some reason, when I started working here, I kept referring to myself as "Uncle Craig" in e-mails. During a dessert-filled, staff get-together, when somebody gave me one of those stick-on, blank name tags, I wrote "Crizzle." (Fans of "Chappelle's Show" may get the reference.) When N&O interactive came calling about doing a blog, I figured since no one is who they say they are online, why not call myself by another name. And that's when "Uncle Crizzle" was born.

CRIZZLE'S CRITICAL CONDITION (aka L.A. Week, Round Two!!)
So, I'm assuming most of you are here because you just got through with my "Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" takedown in the paper and you would like to hear me rip it apart some more. Well, you're in luck!
Because on today's edition of the Condition, me and my guest, film producer, blogger and occasional film critic Andrew Dignan, go to town on "Pelham," "Terminator Salvation" and other summer movies you've probably already regretted sitting through. Dignan's a good guy to talk to about summer movies because sees many of them before anyone else does and, since he lives in La La Land, has all the inside info on why we have to sit through these movies to begin with. So, if you've ever wanted to know why Hollywood keeps giving us movies like "Wolverine" every summer, you should take a listen to this podcast. You can also download it here.
