Maxance Vincent ,  ,  10 min read

Like many of you, I was ready to deride Barry Jenkins for “selling out” after accepting the gig of helming the prequel to one of the most soulless and unimaginative remakes ever made in Mufasa: The Lion King. Walking into the theatre to witness this would-be catastrophe in IMAX 3D, I couldn’t wrap my head around why Jenkins wanted to subject

Anthony Flagg ,  ,  ,  6 min read

As soon as it hit the scene, DanDaDan erupted into incredibly high popularity, enough to bring me back to watching anime after a decade-long hiatus. It centers around two high school students with opposing beliefs: Ken Takakura/Okarun (A.J. Beckles), who swears that aliens are real, and Momo Ayase (Abby Trott), who has an equally strong suspicion that ghosts exist. After daring
