Galavant (Review)
This is by far my favorite musical television series. Galavant is witty, poignant, and refreshingly addictive comedic entertainment. This show holds a special place in my heart for its unforgettable one-liners, whimsical characters, celebrity cameos, and catchy earworms that I still hum to this very day. Bring Galavant back, ABC!!

ASOIAF: A Game of Thrones (Critique)
A Game of Thrones is an instant fantasy classic. While some of the individual characters can be a little two-dimensional, certain ones like Tyrion and Jon have powerful arcs. Where the book truly shines is its intricate plot and world-building. Delightfully dark and spellbinding, this proves a wonderful fantasy novel.

The Stormlight Archives
An incredible fantasy saga that both teaches about mental illness and explores the ways people heal, deal with and get run over by them depending on their societal circumstances and the people they surround themselves with. It also happens to give these same people superpowers which is honestly a treat.

The Inheritance Cycle
Christopher Paolini began writing this series at the age of 15. A fantastically created world of magic, dragons, and Eragon, the last dragon rider.

The second, and best, episode of the final arc of Star Wars: The Clone Wars features a thrilling, emotional showdown between two former apprentices, Ahsoka Tano and Darth Maul, and serves as a sobering reminder that sometimes, the hardest thing to face is the truth about the ones we love.

Rap
Where did you learn to write poetry? I read a lot of poetry. That's true. More often, I listened to rap. While I like most music, rap will always be one of my favorite genres. It has taught me more than rhythm and rhyme. It’s taught me about the world.

What we do in the shadows
Taika is absolutely hilarious. People seem to forget that after Thor 4. If you need a reminder, I highly recommend watching "What We Do in The Shadows". I get it, it can be a niche comedy. But when you get a chance, watch this film! Hurry up with "We'rewolves" already!

Sharks in a Movie Theater
Ten years later, who among us would bat an eyelash at the concept of sharks in a tornado? Sharknado took the world by storm in 2013, and the unique creativity of the film was highlighted on the big screen. I live forever with a chunk bitten out of my heart.

Sipping Whiskey and Ignoring The King James Version of The Bible
My shabby motel room's Gideon sits, gathering dust on its unopened spine. Yellowed by years of neglect, putrid from bearing witness to man's depravity to others, especially by its sacred truth-bearers. My stomach turns contemplating the hypocrisy perpetrated upon humanity by those perverting its stories for their own glory.
