Plot Development
And Just Like That
A much-needed, more diverse update to a beloved franchise. Golden intentions, but untrue to the characters in a way that makes the storylines ring hollow. This revival needs to lean into its stars’ long-developed personalities and sense of motivation in order to make their mid-life transformations feel satisfying.

Probably Just a Coincidence
The Setting: At a table in an Oklahoma prison. The Main Cast: Two men having a conversation One is a professed psychiatrist and atheist; the other is a professed demon on death row. One thinks he's there to provide an assessment on the other's sanity, but it's his in question.

Oppenheimer (2023, dir. Christopher Nolan)
Everybody sucked & the plot hinged on manufactured drama with RDJ’s character. Oppenheimer knew what he was doing & I have no sympathy for his guilt. “I am become Death…” Hubris cannot simultaneously be punished & celebrated.

Unforgiving- Alien Weaponry
I hate to admit that the first time I heard Unforgiving was in concert. The first time was surreal, as I stood next to my brother, who I nearly lost the previous year. Little did I know a year later, this would be my comfort song when my grandmother passed.

My Fair Lady
My Fair Lady is abuse, misogyny, and an alarming age gape all concealed in delightful musical numbers. Alas, despite these glaring flaws, it delights and warms the heart. Join Eliza, a poor flower girl, as she rises up in social ranking with the help of a berating phonetics professor, Henry.

The New Human Resources
Netflix is a streaming service that provides its customers with an abundance of original content. Under the "adult animation" tab is a show: Human Resources. Once you get past the grossness, the situations are relatable. The first few episodes touch on post-partum depression, infidelity and alcoholism. Worth a watch...18+
