Star Wars: The Last Jedi – A Movie Review
The first half of this review will reveal no specific spoilers. I will offer a warning and then a page break before I get into specifics situations. However, I will generally address the tone and plot devices in the beginning of this review. If you do not want any sort of preconceived notion before seeing…

Doomsday Clock #1 – A (Comic) Book Review
This series by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank came out of nowhere for me. I literally heard about it maybe a month or two before its release. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, Doomsday Clock reportedly merges the world of Watchmen with the DC Universe proper. Brief history lesson: Alan Moore, author of Watchmen, originally…

Justice League – A Movie Review (Spoiler-Free)
I attended Justice League on Thursday night at 10:00 p.m. As you may remember, I felt very excited and had very high hopes. With great relief, I report to you that Justice League exceeded my expectations. First of all, I will freely admit that I am incredibly bias. I love these characters. I’ve been reading…

All In With Justice League
Tomorrow night the moment finally arrives. The Justice League debuts. I have literally loved these characters since the age of three. I loved Super Friends, I loved the subsequent Super Powers, I loved all of the Batman, Superman, and Aquaman cartoons in-between. I’ve followed their comic book stories from the Detroit era to the Bwa-ha-ha…

Thor: Ragnarok – A Movie Review
I love the first Thor, but the sequel—The Dark World—left me unimpressed. In fact, if it hadn’t been for the loveable cast of The Dark World, I’d like it even less. There’s a lot to be said for having Natalie Portman, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Kat Dennings, Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, and Stellan…

Star Wars: Leia by Claudia Gray – A Book Review
Claudia Gray completely won me over with Lost Stars, so I’ll read anything written by her now if it pertains to Star Wars. I initially felt a little strange as a forty-year-old man reading a book about a sixteen-year-old princess, but because it’s Leia, I forged ahead. I mean, after all, she is one of…

You Should Be Listening To Bullseye With Jesse Thorn
Last year I started getting more and more into podcasts. This coincided directly with the download of NPR One. Of course, Pop Culture Happy Hour became my must-hear event. I grew to really enjoy Freakonomics Radio as well. I tried a few others that didn’t do much for me. Eventually, a friend recommended Bullseye with…

Shade, the Changing Girl: Vol. 1 by Cecil Castellucci and Marley Zarcone – A Book Review
If you’re looking for weird, Shade, the Changing Girl is for you. As part of DC Comics’ Young Animal imprint, author Cecil Castellucci is unafraid to make this book as strange a trip as possible. However, as odd as it is, at the core, it’s still a story of self-discovery and independent choice. Fan of…
