YouTube Recommendations: The Hillywood Show - Queens of the Parody
Back with another YouTube recommendation for a YouTube channel that deserves way more recognition and views than they currently get for their talent and insane amount of hard work. Sisters Hilly and Hannah Hindi have been making parody videos on YouTube since 2006. Originally an episodic parody series comprised of mostly Johnny Depp characters or characters from Johnny Depp works, the ... ...more

'Cats' the Movie Gets the 'Sonic' Treatment
When the first 'Cats' movie trailer dropped, it was polarizing. Some people were thrilled that one of the longest running shows on Broadway was getting the Hollywood treatment, but a large portion of people were disturbed by the way the actors were CGI'd. Instead of having the actors just wear costumes and prosthetics, the filmmakers and producers had them do a combination of prosthetics and ... ...more

Baby Yoda and the Power of the Internet
It's funny the things people latch on to in pop culture that then blows up into something bigger than itself. Sometimes these things get so big that they overtake even important political figures in the internet airspace. Ever since Disney+'s show 'The Mandelorian' came out, the 'baby Yoda' meme has been everywhere on the internet. Although not actually the popular character, the meme ... ...more

We All Could Use a Little Good News Right Now
I don't want to spend too much time talking because I want the facts and images in the article below to stand for themselves. What I will say, is we're all going through a hard time right now. As a country, as a planet. The world seems bleak more often than not, and the bad news and troubling times are suffocating. But sometimes we have to stop and remember that the world has looked bleak ... ...more

Sundays are for Book Reviews: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Random Riggs
This review is what I like to call a reread review, in which I write a review of a book I reread and discuss how my perception of the book changed and how I felt about it this time around. This was my third time reading Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, but this was the first time that I perceived the story differently than the first two reads. Jacob Portman has resigned ... ...more

'Hair Love' is the Type of Representation We Need More Of
A few days ago, Sony Pictures premiered a short film on their YouTube channel called 'Hair Love.' This animated short is a big deal for two reasons: it takes us back to classic, but still gorgeous, 2D animation; and it represents a black family in an authentically beautiful way. The short tells the story of a father trying to figure out how to do his young daughter's hair for the first time ... ...more

We're Living in the Future and Giving Back to It
It was just announced that Seattle, Washington will be home to the first ever human composting center, set to open in 2021. This comes on the heels of Washington state being the first U.S. state to legalize the composting of human bodies. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's stop there. You're probably thinking 'human composting? what?' That's right, but it's not as weird as you think. It's weird because ... ...more

We Don't Need Batwoman and We Definitely Don't Need Kristen Stewart
Another fine example of early-talk news that we have no idea whether it will come to fruition or not. This is me officially saying I hope nothing comes of this. I've already expressed in the past my thoughts on Batman needing a rest and this extends to the Batman universe in general. The films as of late have been less than stellar and DC has so much material to work with that the caped ... ...more

Does Mena Massoud's Lack of Success Say Something About Him or Hollywood?
If you don't know, Mena Massoud is the actor who recently portrayed Aladdin in the live-action remake of the titular film. If you did know that, then you probably didn't know that he hasn't had a single audition for any film or other project since before the film came out. That's right. Where people think a big box-office hitter like Aladdin would catapult the young actor into stardom, that ... ...more

A Very Punny Product
What's the easiest way to make money? Take something that someone already invented and slap a fandom on it and all the fandom stans will go crazy. That is exactly what popcolors.com did with their products. Let me clarify! I'm not knocking them. It's GENIUS. You can get a 12-pack of colored pencils from this website with just about any fandom theme you could want. The colors are all named ... ...more

Book Recommendations: Top 3 I Would Recommend to Anyone
The Phantom Tollbooth Now, this may technically be a children’s book, but you are vastly underestimating it if you think you can’t glean value from it at any age. The Phantom Tollbooth is my favorite book of all time because it has stuck with me through the years; it has clung to my mind like a child with it’s mother to a point where I often relate real life scenarios back to it’s rhetorical ... ...more

Fast Food Competitors Come Together For a Great Cause
McDonald's may not be known for healthy top-notch food, but they have always had a pretty great reputation of doing their part to help those in need. The Ronald McDonald House foundation has been helping less-fortunate families in need since 1974. Recently, the powerhouse fast-food chain planned a charity day in which all proceeds from Big Mac sales would go to children's cancer research. What ... ...more

Sundays Are For Reading: Bargain Bins
Everyone underestimates a bargain bin. It's often assumed because books are discounted to 'bargain' price they're bad. But do not overlook the bargain section! A lot of books end up in a bookstore bargain bin or bargain shelf simply because they're older and the store is trying to garner fresh interest in backlist titles (or you know.... just trying to clear out some old stock for new titles). ... ...more

YouTube Recommendations: Calling All True Crime Fans
True Crime is a different kind of beast in the world of media and pop culture. It's odd to even say it's a part of pop culture as it deals with the nature of very real and very gruesome events in near and far history. The fact of the matter is, we as humans have a fascination with the weird, the disturbing, and the unsettling alike. We flock to true crime because we like to psychoanalyze ... ...more

'We're Not in Hawkins Anymore' Stranger Things Season 4
It's official! Stranger Things has been renewed for its fourth season. Not that I was ever really worried because how are you going to end on a cliffhanger like that and NOT come back for another season, you know? But now it's at least official. The announcement came with a 45 second teaser trailer of the 80's nostalgia-trip Stranger Things logo and the number 4, which turns into the number ... ...more

'The Simpsons' is Predicting the Future Again
Over the years 'The Simpsons' has been known to get eerily close to animating real-life events or scenarios long before they happen. A few examples include: the three-eyed fish found in Argentina in water from a nuclear power plant; Siegfried and Roy getting mauled by one of their own tigers; and the Ebola outbreak. Creepy right? There's a lot more than that, but some could be argued by ... ...more

Meme Mondays: Controversial Candy
Spooky season is upon us, and I think we need to collectively put to rest the greatest debate of our generation. Candy corn: delicious or disgusting? For the LONGEST time, I didn't even realize this was a debate. I was one of the few that didn't fall on one end of the spectrum or the other when it came to candy corn growing up. I didn't love it. I didn't hate it. Little did I know how ... ...more

I Tried oVertone... Worth It.
I've been a little skeptical about oVertone since the hype started to build up around it. A hair dye that's not actually a hair dye and is just a conditioner? Preposterous. Someone even once tried to lecture me about using it when I dyed my hair a deep red-purple, and I was like *pfffff* what do they know? Well, apparently a lot because oVertone really works. oVertone is meant to be a subtler, ... ...more

#WritingWednesday: Switch Things Up
Not every medium of writing is going to be well-suited for all people. Some people are great short story writers, some people are great poetry writers, and some people are great article writers. Part of the writing journey is finding your niche and figuring out how to make it work for you, but that doesn't mean you should never try anything else. Writing in different mediums, be it essays, ... ...more
