Planet Whiz Kid

Halloween is back, and so is PWK! (The fancy abbreviation for Planet Whiz Kid.) Pumpkins are once again donning wild designs, children dressed as Lucifer are hooked on Skittles, black cats roam the streets, and presidential elections loom once more. Truly a horror story of terrifying proportions! To continue with the annual tradition, I will…

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the 6th Annual Planet Whiz Kid Academy Awards Predictions & Projections Virtual Written-Only Ceremony! Or, as we call it in show business, the APWKAAPPVWOCs (pronounced “ah-pwap-vocks”; lots of silent letters). Beginning in December of each year, I’m known to semi-psychotically obsess over who will be nominated for the Academy Awards…

(Cue the theme song to 2001: A Space Odyssey.) It’s coming. It’s near. Not the Academy Awards themselves, but the projections that precede them. Prepare yourself for the life-altering, PWK-exclusive commentary by the one they call the Prediction Prodigy. The acclaimed soothsayer returns with his final predictions. Don’t forget to arrive back at Planet Whiz…

They’re back! After a year off the air, one of Hollywood’s biggest awards ceremonies has returned to TV ready to pass out trophies to film and television, with a brand new host at the center of it. Two Murphys (Eddie and Ryan) will be picking up honorary accolades, and there’ll no doubt be talk of…

Hey there, folks! I just wanted to keep you posted (pun intended) on some upcoming articles slated to join Planet Whiz Kid! First off, get prepared for the 5th Annual Oscar Predictions Special with exclusive projections for who will win Best Picture and more! The Academy Awards airs on ABC March 12th, so expect this…

Your eyes do not deceive you – the “Predictions Before the Nominations” series is back! Five years later, this iconic staple of Planet Whiz Kid has made its grand return to . . . WAIT! Everything you has just learned . . . is a lie! Annually, I make sure to write a post predicting…

Well, how did that happen? It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day again already, which means another year has gone by! I wrote six posts last year, the same amount as in 2021 and 2020, which – by my calculations – means that I’ve done a mere eighteen posts in the last three years! I’m back…

It’s that time of year again. The spell of the fall season has been cast upon us. For the very first leaf to fall reminds you of the terror that lies before us: a holiday, whose name is unspeakable. A holiday that unleashes evil unto the streets. A holiday that summons the most wretched and…
