Before I dive in here, I feel it’s important to note that I am only about 150 pages into this massive book. In turn, my opinions do not reflect the whole work, but simply my early observations and predictions. Who knows, now that I’m already writing an analysis, maybe I’ll never finish reading this damn…

Polish Holocaust Denial—Don’t Erase, Educate
As someone who traveled to Poland this past December with the sole intent of furthering my Holocaust education, the news about the nation’s government criminalizing any claims of their complicity enrages and disgusts me. Before diving further into the specific issue at hand, I want to note that I am currently deep into a large-scale…
Star Wars: The Last Jedi—Am I Being Phantom Menaced?
NO SPOILERS I genuinely have no idea what I thought of The Last Jedi. If you know me in person or have been following this site in some capacity, you’ll know how much of a massive Star Wars fan I am. With The Force Awakens being tied with Return of the Jedi as my favorite…
Graduation and Professor of Thrones—November 2017 Update
I hope the fall has been treating you all well. I want to tackle the elephant in the room right away before diving into anything else. Yes, I haven’t posted on this site for roughly four months.

A substantial chunk of the major themes of…

Being responsible for both the genius Cornetto Trilogy, and one of my favorite movies, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Wright has positioned himself as one of my all-time favorite filmmakers. Having such a profound…
One Piece: Chapter 865- Review
I want to start off by immediately addressing the elephant in the room. I apologize for the unannounced hiatus. I did not intend to cease posting for nearly a month. In the weeks since I arrived back in South Florida for the summer, I have been focusing my time and creative energy on both my…
Rogue One- A Gonzo Review
NOTE: This review will contain spoilers. If you haven’t seen the movie, don’t read it. It was interesting to see a Star Wars movie at a time other than midnight. I have begun to associate the franchise with late night coffee at the Grind and schmoozing with fans in $7,000 cosplays. However, with a ticket…
