X-Men: The Animated Series
Let’s be honest, X-Men: The Animated Series made the Marvel Cinematic Universe what it is. If this show didn’t exist, they’re would have been far less hype over the X-Men movie in 2000. This show was amazing from the theme song, to every plot line. We love and miss it.

The Managerial Revolution
There are few books that have had such a large influence on my life. The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham is one of the few that have changed my life's trajectory entirely. It is a fascinating, insightful, and contemporaneous look at the conflict between Fascism, Communism, and the New Deal.

Extremely Bad
Have you ever been asked, “What’s the worst book you’ve read?” I am often asked this when people find out my passion for literature. I always answer the same: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. This book is exhaustingly unreadable. I stopped after the second chapter. I want my time back.

Vocal
You weren’t my first. Probably not my last. But of all the others' past, you’re the one that’s lasted. Vocal, you’re the best writing platform I have found so far. You’ve helped me grow. You’ve made me mad. You’ve made me smile. You’ve made me the writer I am today.

Hamilton: The Hip-Hop Musical
Lin-Manuel Miranda could’ve used Hip-Hop as a tool to trivialize, mock, and disappoint every MC who has ever touched a microphone. Instead, with “Hamilton” he uses brilliant storytelling to captivate audiences that probably trivialized, mocked, and discredited Hip-Hop since its birth.

Disneys Musical Into The Woods
A cast of big BIG Hollywood names fill the roles for Disney’s Into The Woods musical film, which sings to us a tale of many fairytales when they are mixed together and collide. This musical piece will make you laugh, cry, yearn and connect with characters as their stories intersect.

Bro-meo and Jeez-liet* (or, A Highly Educated Critique of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet)
Ok. Bill, we get it. You’re great. Your characterization? Insanely epic. Your made up words? Quite useful! But seriously? Did you HAVE to go and write something which people (who’ve never read it) always reference as the epitome of love? “I’m so sad- hey, she’s hot!” Marraige! Death! The end.
