X-Men: The Animated Series
Let’s be honest, X-Men: The Animated Series made the Marvel Cinematic Universe what it is. If this show didn’t exist, they’re would have been far less hype over the X-Men movie in 2000. This show was amazing from the theme song, to every plot line. We love and miss it.

Poltergeist
A normal family in an ordinary house, an innocent child watching tv, what could possibly go wrong? Suddenly, a ghost's hand malevolently reaches out through the tv screen to grab the child. What ensues is the scariest series of events ever captured on film. Terror has never been so realistic.

Marvel Multiverse Saga so far
As a friendly reminder, we're currently in the Mulitverse Saga of the MCU. I loved the Infinity Saga from start to finish. Very few blemishes. However, so far the multiverse saga has been immensely disappointing. A pitiful ratio of good/bad projects and horrible CGI. I really hope this changes soon.

Across The Universe
Across the Universe is a cosmically mystic, beguiling, stream of semi-consciousness, with Lennon at his philosophical, poetic best. Nothing could be further removed from the unthinking Mop Top Pop of She Loves You. The song is a highly introspective spiritual rendering, utilizing abstract imagery, lush orchestration, and an angelic choir.

Curb Your Enthusiasm
Larry David sets his misanthropic muse free in an ingenious, incendiary way in this show. He blends wild improvisation with the careful construction of ethical conundrums to make us laugh first at him and his extraordinary and variegated supporting cast and then at ourselves. Satirical spite sustains this program's power.

Seinfeld
The moral logic of this show about nothing is perfect, which explains why so many found the finale frustrating. In an absurd world where greed, lust and unbridled enthusiasm guide four silly friends through myriad misadventures that blend Jerry’s Socratic sarcasm with Larry David’s smirking misanthropy, laughing justice ultimately rules.

Across The Universe
Words that float across time and space, into my ear, my mind, and my life, inviting, inciting, and beguiling me. Sounds of angels and heavenly violins, the voice of a god expunging sins, blessing and expressing me. Rivers of sorrow, oceans of joy reflecting a million suns, across the universe.
