I thought about writing something pertaining to pop culture today like I usually do, but that just didn’t feel appropriate. It’s been twenty years since the attack of 9/11. At the time, I was just nine years old–a fourth grader in Mr. Keeler’s...

Trust me. That’s a good thing. There’s a lot of good to be said about Shang-Chi and not much bad. And honestly, the bad stuff isn’t really bad, it’s just stuff that could have used improvement. Is it worth one viewing? Absolutely. Is it going...

Yeesh. Well, here we go. For over a year, I worked at a company that I enjoyed a lot. It sold a product that I believe in, taught me a ton about my profession, and introduced me to a lot of new friends. It was kind of the perfect place to work. So why did I leave?...

You know those movies that don’t set out to be anything more than what they are? That want to be a fun popcorn flick, but maybe give you just a little more? They’re not shooting for Oscars or anything, but just want to be an exciting, endearing flick for...

You probably don’t dislike anime at all. You just haven’t given it a decent shot. I used to be just like you–thinking I was too cool to indulge in the animated absurdity that is anime. Pish posh! Away with such things! I like rock music and business...

Shameless. Wooden. Uninspired. Self-indulgent. I’m not upset at Warner Brothers for making this film. I’m upset at how Warner Brothers approached it. Because when it comes down to it, Space Jam: A New Legacy is a shameless tour-de-force of IP flaunting and...

Okay, what took so long?? Black Widow is one of the OG’s! She’s been with us ever since Iron Man 2! She helped the Avengers defend Earth from destruction like a million times. Why did it take so long for her to get her own movie? I don’t know. But...
