No Shelter by Rage Against the Machine
Did Rage Against the Machine own a time machine in the 1990s? I’m not saying they did, but it’s sometimes too hard to listen to their 1998 single, No Shelter, and wonder if they hadn’t just arrived back from the 2020s. Prolific lyrics or time travel. Guess we’ll never know.

Stargate: The Movie
Do you like sci-fi? Do you like archaeology? What about Egyptology and little ancient aliens? You know, before it became popular. That is what we got in the 1994 classic, Stargate. Starring James Spader and Kurt Rusell, this cinematic epic launched one of the best sci-fi franchises of the 90s.

The Bible
In all fairness, the Bible is the only book of the trilogy I’ve read. Mostly because the beginning is a recap of the first. I have not read the third book, mainly because I wasn’t terribly impressed with the Bible. Lots of continuity errors. Also, the book clubs get weird.

50 Critics: Hercules
As the spinoff the iconic Xena: Warrior Princess, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys is as equally entertaining with its sense of ancient history storytelling mixed in with a great sense of humor. Leading man Kevin Sorbo does a great job as the show’s head of an action packed, fantasy based series.

50 Critics: The Originals
If you wanted to craft the perfect vampire series that wasn’t just a frightful blood fest of action then you would’ve crafted the Netflix series The Originals. This series is perfect example of full potential of what others vampire franchises like the Twilight Saga should have done but didn’t do.

Jurassic Park
Stephen Spielberg's 1993 Jurassic Park took move-goers on a prehistoric thrill ride. In classic Spielberg fashion, special effects, realistic creatures and terrifying action didn't disappoint. Intriguing plot twists kept us on edge, but a-typical writing made it a well-funded creature feature that's still a "must-see" for audiences of all ages.

Calvin and Hobbs
These books were a godsend for a lonely, only child. I can’t think of a character I connected with more as a child. A precocious only child, check. His main company is his stuffed animal, check. Spends most of his day lost in his imagination, check. Thank you Bill Watterson.

50 critics: She Hulk
What started off as a show with so much potential ended up being the Worse Marvel work since “Captain Marvel”. It may have meant well, but She Hulk falls flat with its constant whining from its main character who is the complete opposite of who she is supposed to be.

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.

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.
