In almost every comic I’ve read, whether it’s about a group of superheroes taking on an alien invasion, or begrudging loners banding together to fight evil, there’s always a clear leader. However, just because someone is leading a group of merry heroes, doesn’t mean that they’re doing a good job. Or they could be great […]

I need Steven Universe back in my life like the deserts need the rain! I caught the SU bug later than others, catching the odd episode here and there I didn’t really get into. That is until I had the chance to binge watch the entire first season. If you haven’t watched the show yet then you should […]

For this week’s Yesflix/Noflix we’re going to look at biopics (biographical films, sometimes written as bio-pics). That is two biopics addressing two historical figures, each taking two very different approaches. Both historical figures are African American and, as with many biopics, the stories they tell concern adversity and triumph. However, one should tread carefully when drawing lines of similarity. […]

Seeing as Japan is kind of my thing here now, it seems only right to focus this week’s Music Monday on something uniquely Japanese; Idols! Summer may be over, but chances are Japan’s biggest idol summer smashes never made it across the Atlantic, so get ready, it’s about to get high-pitched up in here. AKB48 […]
