Star Wars is expansive, so expansive that there are dedicated teams of people that keep the lore coherent and fitting together. Occasionally, some of them work together and bring us what is known as a visual guide. These books help expand and teach us the lore and interconnectedness of its shows and films, showing off objects and characters of interest and
Read MoreA while back, there was a critic who spoke online about being rejected by an organization. The reason: He put too much himself into the reviews. The notion of this seems baffling. Movies, television shows, novels, and even music impact us partially due to life experiences. Asking someone to rebel against cinematic connection seems criminal. But with The Iron Claw, the urge to
Read MoreJack Reacher is an iconic character from Lee Child’s and Andrew Grant’s novels. As of now, there are almost 30 novels about the adventures of this legendary private investigator. In 2022, Amazon released the first season of Reacher’s adventures inspired by the book Killing Floor, the first novel from 1997. In upcoming days, Reacher season 2 will premiere, and I had

Read MoreI had a blast at Los Angeles Comic Con 2023, especially when it came to the Ahsoka panel with Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Eman Esfandi, Ivanna Sakhno, and Diana Lee Inosanto. The quartet of actors took to the main stage on the show floor to answer everyone’s burning questions about the Star Wars Disney+ series! In this Ahsoka panel breakdown (the second
Read MoreThere was so much to see and do at Los Angeles Comic Con 2023, but my most anticipated event was the Ahsoka panel with Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Eman Esfandi, Ivanna Sakhno, and Diana Lee Inosanto. These actors weren’t allowed to promote the series when it launched due to the (absolutely necessary) SAG-AFTRA strike, so everyone was thrilled to hear them discuss
Read MoreThe Doctor might be an era-hopping, space-traversing Time Lord, but he is still quintessentially British and that means that he loves his tea and biscuits (that’s cookies for you Americans).

Like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse, every image of this film can be a poster, keepsake, wallpaper, etc. His latest effort, The Boy and the Heron, continues to demonstrate Miyazaki’s powers. However, this might be one of his
