Jackass Forever: A Spoiler Free Review
To preface this review, I must state that Jackass has a special place in my heart. Many late nights were spent watching the Jackass crew perform their stunts and antics while I was growing up. It was one of myself, and my friend groups go to series for sleep overs or just to put something on. It was a series that I enjoyed and grew up with.

Top 25 Moments In Which Endgame Made Me Cry, Laugh out Loud, or Smile
Avengers: Endgame, as we know, came out 3 years ago now, and it still feels like yesterday that I was trying (and failing) to focus on normal, everyday life when this movie was hitting theaters. Now, as we approach its anniversary on April 26, I can’t stop thinking of how much this movie (and its predecessor Avengers: Infinity War) shook the world and changed the Marvel Cinematic Universe forever. These movies are, in my opinion, two of the greatest superhero movies, and I could go on for hours as to why they are so amazing. Not only does Endgame have show-stopping, jaw-dropping, tear-jerking moments— it also has an ensemble cast that ties up and connects a decade of movies perfectly. That storytelling and world-building is enough to give me chills.

"Stranger Things" Season 4 Theories That Make Total Sense
SEASON 4 IS COMING IN MAY! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! A long, long time ago, when Obama was the president and Corona was a brand of beer, Netflix released an 8-episode sci-fi drama called Stranger Things. It was Goonies meets Stand By Me meets Firestarter, and every sci-fi-horror-loving 80s kid rejoiced.

Doctor Who: Circular Time Review
In 2007, Big Finish launched a new recurring format for the Monthly Adventures. Every year, there would be a release that, instead of featuring one 4-part story, would feature four 1-part stories, often centred around a theme or central idea, and these releases ended up becoming some of the best examples in the Monthly Adventures of creativity and using the short-form format to tell Doctor Who stories out of the norm. The first of these was "Circular Time": four stories centred around the seasons and the relationship between the Doctor and Nyssa. It remains to this day one of the most well-regarded anthology collections, and one of my personal favourites, due to doing some very unexpected things with the Doctor Who format.

Moonknight
After being very pleasantly surprised by the first episode of Moonknight I was very much looking forward to how they were going to open this story up further. I think that so far they are doing a great job of balancing all of their story elements, here are my in-depth, as I watched thoughts on the second episode of Moonknight.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore Movie Review
Harry Potter is an iconic property, but for the last decade it’s been coasting along with diminishing returns. The franchise took a major downturn in 2018 with The Crimes of Grindelwald, but production has continued at pace. One recast and several delays later, The Secrets of Dumbledore makes an improvement, but not by much.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Review: Does it Live up 2 the Hype? (Minor spoilers)
With the success of Paramount's 2020 film Sonic the Hedgehog, based on the hit video game series of the same name, high expectations were placed on the sequel, which introduces the fan favorite sidekick, Miles "Tails" Prower (voiced by veteran voice actress Colleen O'Shaugnessy), and the tough as leather rival, Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Idris Elba). The first film may have gotten a bit of a rocky start with initial reactions to the first design being so great that Paramount had to go back and change it, but this film had no such uphill battle. All eyes were set upon how Sonic the Hedgehog 2 could build upon the story established in its predecessor. Not only did it meet the expectations given to it, but in some cases, the movie exceeded them.

Last Night in Darkness
You ascend the Raleigh Grande steps; tickets up on the phone, a close confidant on your arm. Said confidant had seen your worst shades of bitter tears, exploits and anger emerged from insecurities long sunken by the repression of awareness. The kind of pain that may have been concocted years in the making, but still unjustified for the mere microseconds at hand, particularly the ones out here in the present, at this movie theater with your confidant.

Movie Review: 'Everything, Everywhere, All at Once' is My Favorite Movie
Everything Everywhere All at Once is my new favorite movie. This gloriously chaotic comedy drama from directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as Daniels, is an epic of galaxy-brained thought experiments, love, despair, and everything in between. While the Multiverse is a concept most often given over to Marvel movies in our modern pop culture, it’s also a real theoretical and philosophical concept and Everything Everywhere All at Once plays out the theoretical and philosophical concept to an absurdly brilliant degree to explore the relationship between a mother and a daughter and the choices that made them who they are.

7 Shows Fans of Invincible Do Not Want to Miss!
It is safe to say, in this era of DCEU failures and MCU game-changers, many people were probably not sure what to expect from Amazon Prime’s animated superhero series Invincible, based on the popular comic book created by the man also responsible for The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman. But the Certified Fresh endeavor on Rotten Tomatoes outdid all expectations with a gripping story following the offspring of the most powerful being on Earth, Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons), Mark (Stephen Yeun), aka Invincible, who gets his powers in high school. Through his arduous attempts to follow in his father’s footsteps, he quickly realizes being a hero can be messy and learns how monumentally difficult it will be to live up to his name.
