Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
So we’ve done season 1 and talked about the major decisions that moved the plot along in the first season. And these videos are going to get a little longer as the show goes on because the subject matter also gets heavier. And some of the decisions that are made hit really close to home for me because I am also someone who has struggled with my mental health for quite a while now. And I think I’m going to do BoJack Horseman in congruence with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend because I do see a lot of parallels that I want to talk about. So with that, season 2 of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

BoJack Horseman
The second season begins with a young BoJack watching Secretariat's interview while his parents scream at each other. The first day of filming doesn’t go as planned and really the amount of layers to this is amazing, there is the fact that he was a comedy sitcom star and maybe that mean he really isn’t a good actor, then there's the fact that he’s trying so hard to be a changed man and therefore he can’t go to the place he needs to go emotionally in order to play this part.

WGA Strike
Most of us spend our time relaxing watching TV or movies. I mean I’ve built my whole internet presence off of reviewing, critiquing and analyzing media. Our current society thrives off of Hollywood. Comic cons, show specific fan conventions, tv shows, and movies very few people in this country go a day without relying on Hollywood for relaxation and entertainment. But how does that entertainment come to us? Does it magically appear on our screens? Do producers and studio execs come up with these stories that we love? No writers do. Writers are the backbone of Hollywood and we owe them our praise, and Hollywood owes them proper compensation.

Are You There God? It's Me Margaret
Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret is a best selling Judy Blume book about young girls dealing with puberty, religious pressure and just the reality of growing up. This movie adaptation is faithful to the book and a beautiful portrayal of youth and growing up.

Guardians of the Galaxy Review
Warning up top this review is going to contain so many spoilers so if you would like to avoid that, please stop reading now. You will not get another warning. The third installment of Guardians of the Galaxy was a beautiful, wonderful, incredible masterpiece cementing its place as the MCU’s best trilogy.

MCU Recap
Well we can’t truly recap the MCU if we only discuss the movies so here we go we are going to recap ONLY the Disney+ MCU shows, this list will not include anything that happened on Netflix or networks. Though it is canon it doesn’t actually have any impact over the MCU as it stands now so Disney+ shows only.

BoJack Horseman
While we are talking about character or plot driven stories we have to talk about another show that helped me make breakthroughs in therapy, BoJack Horseman. When we talk about shows that deal with mental health this absolutely has to be on the list. A comedy that confronts every personal struggle you’ve ever had in a way that is fun but gut wrenching. BoJack Horseman is one of the rawest, most powerful pieces of media that exists and I saw this with no hyperbole. It changed my life.

Chevalier
From the minute we saw the trailer for Chevalier I knew I wanted to see it. I have a thing for French Revolution stories (Les Misérables is one of my favorite musicals after all), add in some music and an attractive actor and I am pretty much sold.

Polite Society
It seems that 2023 is another great year for movies and that is something that is greatly exciting to an aspiring filmmaker like myself. One of the truly delightful movies that we got to see this past weekend was Polite Society. A film about sisterly love, believing in yourself and inappropriate mother-son relationships.

Love and Death
We know I will watch anything with Elizabeth Olsen in it, I absolutely adore her. So when the series Love and Death dropped on HBO I knew I was going to have to watch it. So here we go with my running commentary and review of the new limited series, Love and Death.

The Dangers of AI
News of the Russo brothers helping develop AI that could create a full movie circulated the internet recently. The internet of course had many responses, most of which condemned the Russo brothers for being lazy, uncreative and sell outs. As a creative how could you even think that this is a good idea, something to put your weight behind? It's embarrassing. If you can so easily be replaced, how good are you really?

Fandom Toxicity
Every major film or TV project, every major musician, every piece of media have what is referred to as a fandom. Fandom is the very internet way to refer to the fan community of a thing. Whether it be a franchise or a particular actor, fandoms can be an amazing source of community and bonding. They can also be very toxic. I am personally a part of a lot of fandoms so let's take these one by one from the absolute worst to the best.
