In 2019, everyone knows what a superhero is. Marvel movies are the biggest thing at the box office, superhero tv is almost half of what's on, and, in general, superheroes are cementing themselves as a piece of human existence. It might be hipster to say now, but I remember when it was still uncool to like superhero content. "Superman isn't real!" I would get often on the school yards of public school. I almost got in a fight over a stolen comic or two. Superheroes were my jam. They didn't start becoming everyone else's until 2008. The Dark Knight and the first Iron Man hit theaters, and people can't deny a good movie from being called a good movie. Slowly but surely, superheroes began to grow even more. In 2012, Marvel's The Avengers came out, and it was the first official stamp in culture that cemented that superheroes were what the market wanted to see. These movies not only made money, but had long term audience investment due to a serialized ...

After my favorite television show, The Leftovers , had ended, I didn't think I could find anything to help me cope with the loss of something so meaningful to my life. Thankfully, we live in the golden age of television and, now more than ever it seems, the golden just keeps getting more gold.  A good "bait and switch" show for me was the show Haunting of Hill House . I had heard about the show about a few weeks before it was dropped on Netflix when looking for spooky reading material (I came across the book but saw the show was coming and decided nah, put down the book, pick up the remote (or mouse or whatever)) The show's structure is very similar to the Leftovers in that every episode follows a different character's perspective through the same traumatizing events before pulling the characters together for the climatic moments. This show is so creative, so spooky, scary, and emotionally purging, I ate it up like candy corn. I often say I love sad televisi...

Spider-Man had quite the 2018. He died  (* spoilers *), he destroyed in his newest PS4 videogame , Venom (famed Spidey villain) surprised many, and to wrap it up in a Christmas bow is Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse . I was skeptical about this animated film, despite it's unique style, I feared it ran the issue of being too "kiddy." Couple that with the varied "appeal to the kids!" artists Sony had enlisted for the film's soundtrack, it looked to me as just a huge cash grab. And it IS a huge cash grab that, thankfully, is done so tastefully, I've been hooked. And to the soundtrack's credit, the music cues really seem to elevate some of the film's more dynamic moments.  I can confidently say that I know none of the artists on the album list pictured.  I know Post Malone from a Hot Ones Interview on YouTube and Nicki Minaj...well is Nicki Minaj. And Lil Wayne is old. Other than that I have no idea who any of these artists are. I don'...
