Arkham series
The Batman Arkham series is without question the most flawless videogame franchise in history. This series, should be the gold standard for videogames.

Cobra Kai
This show has been absolutely incredible. From a humbling start on Youtube Red, to finishing on top on Netflix on their terms. This show has found great ways to blend old and new, stay fresh, and honor their roots while adapting to the times and making great, relevant social commentary.

An explosion of pink and feminism, of equality that might be truly equal one day. Filled with inappropriate jokes and nostalgia, this is not your daughter’s Barbie movie. So please, do not bring your young children to this movie and then complain about it; it is rated PG-13, after all.

MrBeast AKA MrMoney
YouTube's biggest name. I must say this guy could as well be the face of the entire platform! From his challenges to giving out wads of cash, this guy is so rich, he is giving it all away! This makes me ponder how does MrBeast do his taxes? I bet his accountants are losing their minds as I write these words.
