That Marketing Dude was founded by me, Luke Benjamin Thomas, a world traveler, digital nomad and motor mouth.

"Send us a Text!" This week on The Couch Critic, we twirl into Nutcracker: The Motion Picture and drift through the wistful winter world of One Magic Christmas… and let’s just say, not every holiday gift under the tree is a winner.

We start cozy with Call Me Claus, unwrap a stop-motion classic with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and then clock in for a very different kind of night shift with Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.

"Send us a Text!" A surprise pick led us straight into the chambers of history.

Selling real estate comes with a few well-known options, but none of them are perfect. Take the 1031 exchange: you have just 45 days to identify a property and 180 days to close. The financing has to line up, and you're stuck with contingencies that can cut your buyer pool in half. No wonder 60% of 1031 exchanges end up paying some or all the taxes…

"Send us a Text!" Missed weeks call for a triple feature, so we went big and asked a surprisingly tricky question: what actually makes a Christmas movie?

What starts as a bid for peace from a former DEA agent becomes…

From the painterly backdrops and quietly brilliant character an…

"Send us a Text!" Neon glows. Hearts don’t. We sat down for a triple feature of Tron, Tron Legacy, and the new Tron Ares to ask a simple question: why do these movies look so good and feel so empty?

"Send us a Text!" Santa behind bars shouldn’t work as cozy holiday viewing—and yet it absolutely does.

From the first setup to th…
