Whether it’s cultivating my record collection, making my own music, or watching cartoons, I try to keep my finger on the pulse…
New York Comic Con was a strange beast this year. First of all, the main panels that are a must for me weren’t even there this year. Ash vs The Evil Dead was cancelled earlier this year so clearly there’s no next season to push. And The Magicians as well…

I swear, this isn’t going to turn into an Avatar blog, but I just finished re-watching Avatar: The Last Airbender (again) and a few things really struck me this time around. The first is that it really is written for kids. I don’t mean that as a negative, but often…
Today is Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement. It closes out the High Holidays, the really important holidays for Jews (please not that Hanukkah is not in there). They begin with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. On that date tradition says that judgement on each person is written,…

Back in the ancient era of the early 1990s television was a vastly different beast than it is today. Genres ran wild at the time, in a way that are old hat today. The police procedural + [insert genre trope of choice] was just starting to explode (see Brimstone, Cop…
There are currently some high-profile types on social media who are scoffing at clinical depression. They use their platforms to tell their millions of followers that, “Everyone gets sad but the idea that you need drugs to be treated (usually in air quotes) for depression is nonsense.” Then depending on…
Avatar: The Last Airbender ended just about a year ago. The 3rd part to the series finale ran on July 19th, 2008. There have been numerous pieces about the show and why it’s so amazing. It stands out for having one of the most satisfying finales of any show. And…

Among current comic titles there are a handful that are acknowledged as classics in the making. Y: The Last Man, Monstress, The Walking Dead, though this last one possibly by sheer exposure and reputation more than the quality of the current story. One title that almost always comes up is…
Sorry to Bother You is one of the strangest movies I’ve seen in a long time. And I expected it to be strange from the trailers. It’s also one of the most impressive. Visually the trailers seem to advertise a “black Michel Gondry” (and in fact, there’s one “blink and…
