The Play That Goes Wrong
"The Play That Goes Wrong" is still funny and engaging. I first saw the show at the Lyceum Theater when it was on Broadway and then again when it moved to The World Stages. Like many Broadway and off Broadway shows that run a long time,casts changes make the show different over time. Live theater is not like watching your favorite movie over and over with the same result. When you watch a show day in and day out it is never the same result.

Best Comedy Specials
I am a huge fan of stand up comedy. I think it is the best way to disconnect and turn off my analytical brain. Even if I try to watch a tv show or movie for fun I end up breaking it down and analyzing it. With stand up comedy (as that is definitely not my area of writing) there is nothing for me to analyze. That said I have seen most of the specials on Netflix as that seems to be the peak of accomplishment for comedians. And I am here with the definitive list of funniest specials on Netflix.

In Latin, this phrase literally means "one year." If you are searching for it now, I'm sorry to say you will not find it. The guys deleted it. Yes, on purpose.

Heaven, Hell and the Multiverse
The mythology of heaven and hell has often been used in literature as a way to comment on ethics in general. Dante's Divine Comedy takes us on a journey through hell, purgatory and paradise, the most famous of these being his Inferno. Milton gave us Paradise Lost. The satirist Jonathan Swift described The Place of the Damned by its inhabitants including "Damned poets, damned critics, damned blockheads, damned knaves, damned senators bribed, damned prostitute slaves". The poet William Blake wrote The Marriage of Heaven and Hell in which he contrasts the free Dionysian spirit of hell with the authoritarian and carefully regulated, dare we say repressed, heaven.
