In the late Nineties, long before becoming the greatest professional tennis player of all time, a pimply-faced Roger Federer played in the Junior Orange Bowl (JOB) International Tennis Championship and won. Earlier in that decade, 16-year-old Tiger Woods did the same at the JOB golf tournament — years before he…
The best satire is the kind that doesn’t quite flagrantly cross the line of bad taste and coarse affront, yet still manages to crap all over its intended victim with comical results. And that’s the subtle brilliance of Forbidden Broadway, which opened last night at the Arsht Center’s Carnival Studio…
Fans of all shapes, sizes, and ages watch the Bad Girls Club Miami and why wouldn’t they? Who doesn’t love to watch female lushes beat the crap out of others and each other? It’s entertainment at its finest. And people not only like watching the show, they like reading about…

Sure, people know Steve-O once swallowed a goldfish live and then threw it up back into its bowl. And the Jackass star got the world’s dumbest tattoo (a self portrait of himself with two thumbs up and the words “Yeah dude, I rock!”). But did you know that he’s a…

It’s customary for art to comment on or critique its surroundings. But rarely does it physically mimic its natural environment. Sculptor David Smith lived in his airy Bolton Landing, NY studio home for 25 years, and his iron sculptures began to take shape in the form of the dynamic landscape…
“There once was a man from Nantucket, with” … a few more words and we’d qualify for the O, Miami’s Poet Census. The inaugural poetry festival, which begins this April, wants to do a head count of all the poets living in Miami-Dade. Founder P. Scott Cunningham, a former New…
There is no group of Miami celebrities, or pseudo-celebrities, more revered than the list of grand marshals at the end-of-the-year farcical King Mango Strut in Coconut Grove. Actually, that list is kind of hard to come by. Some of the organizers can’t event locate such a list, if one actually…
We love ourselves some comedy here at Cultist. From the one-name wonder Godfrey to Margaret Cho, we love anyone who can make us laugh. But we’ve picked up on a growing trend in the funny business — comics are getting downright feisty. Everyone from Kathy Griffin to Katt Williams is…
Before there were terrorists, there were older brothers. They convinced our five-year-old selves that vacuum cleaners were really crazed, human-eating machines and that Brussels sprouts were actually decomposing alien heads. Thanks to them, we are now veggie-hating adults with really dirty floors. But local filmmaker Daniel Cardenas should appreciate his…

It’s a clear and simple fact that everyone not only loves bacon, but would prefer to consume it much more frequently. Even vegetarians crave it and sometimes stray from their anti-flesh eating stance to munch on strips of swine. In honor of this crispy, savory, and sometimes sweet treat (AKA…
Miami in the 30s?? Huh? Maybe at the Historical Museum on Flagler, but please not in our mercury sticks. Here’s a few suggestions on how to handle the elements. 1. Cuddle. Do you really have to go outside? Cuddle with a friend, a loved one, or a pet. Just one…
Wynwood is starting to feel like Sim City. If people keep showing up and building stuff, pretty soon we’re gonna need a bigger boat. At this weekend’s Second Saturday Art Walk, we decided to check out some places off the beaten path. That road led us to Art By God,…
With all its pompous celebrities and Tony Award-winning screenwriters and tear-jerking performances, Broadway takes itself way too seriously. It was only a matter of time before someone went Not Another Teen Movie on the sacrosanct institution and created a spoof. We’re grateful that hits such as In the Heights and…
We are worried about Miami. We’re not going to be like Khloe Kardashian and compare anything to the “R” word, but the Magic City has been through some trauma. First, we were violated by the Jersey Shore, then Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, and then Bad Girls Club. And let’s…

Margaret Cho sure has a purty mouth. She did spout out quite a few “I-really-like-to-give-head” jokes last Saturday night during her super raunchy show at the Fillmore Miami Beach, her latest stop on her Cho Dependent Tour. But that’s not all that Cho’s ball-sack-loving-orifice (“you can suck them in like…

Louis C.K. was already a well-seasoned, headlining comedian with a litany of TV and film projects under his belt when an appearance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien became a viral hit. The clip, titled “Everything’s Amazing and Nobody’s Happy,” is remarkable not only for it’s humor, but for how…
