Movie
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.

The Managerial Revolution
There are few books that have had such a large influence on my life. The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham is one of the few that have changed my life's trajectory entirely. It is a fascinating, insightful, and contemporaneous look at the conflict between Fascism, Communism, and the New Deal.

Pride & Prejudice (2005)
It’s always that lake scene but I fell for MacFadyen’s eyes. (“There’s something pleasant about his mouth when he speaks…”). Thibaudet’s music fills my soul with dawn light, the cinematography's a perfected craft, every action a fluid dance.

Extremely Bad
Have you ever been asked, “What’s the worst book you’ve read?” I am often asked this when people find out my passion for literature. I always answer the same: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. This book is exhaustingly unreadable. I stopped after the second chapter. I want my time back.

Pitch Perfect
If you love acapella the Pitch Perfect franchise is for you. The franchise is about friendship and finding your strength. It centers around Becca. The three movies follow her growth from joining a group she didn’t want to join to breaking from the group and doing it on her own.

The Fast and Furious
If you want fast cars these movies are for you. At its heart The Fast and Furious is about family. It centers around Dom and the people he has attracted to him over the years. After 22 years and 10 movies this is one of the greatest franchises there is.

50 Critics: Squid Games
Though it ends on somewhat of a stalemate note, The Squid Games is a certainly clever metaphor of a story about how we are all just rats in a maze who are running a rat race to make it to the next big score that will save our miserable lives.
