For years there have been a seemingly endless stream of articles, social media posts, and online videos debating the rise of superhero fatigue. The rapidly expanding comic book universes from Marvel and DC have flooded the discourse and have ruined the enjoyment for many fans of these franchises. This all adds to Spider-Man: Across the...

Succession: Season 4 There are only a few shows I can remember ending with so much hype going into their final episodes. Despite how much smaller the scale seems, this was the first can’t miss farewell since Game of Thrones in 2019 and thankfully it went so much better. From start to finish, this season...

Kesha - Gag Order This is a difficult record to discuss. Not just because of the music, but because of everything surrounding it. This is Kesha’s final record on Dr. Luke’s record label and as the title implies she is unable to directly discuss their ongoing legal battle. The album, instead, looks at Kesha’s personal...

All Quiet on the Western Front I feel like I was one of the only people who did not have to read this book in school so this most recent remake was my first exposure to this story. It was a hell of a way to get introduced to it, with this certainly being the... Continue Reading →
It’s hard to believe that this is already the seventh time I have made one of these lists. What is harder to believe is that I haven’t gotten sick of it yet. There is something special about being able to look back through the years and reflect on all the albums I either overrated, underrated,... Continue Reading →
Lightyear After sending three great original films to Disney Plus, Pixar is back in theaters with a movie that sounds perfectly suited for Disney Plus. This is not to say Lightyear is a bad movie, I actually found myself entertained throughout, but it is certainly lacking the emotional core we have come to expect from... Continue Reading →
