Overman of Pain
In considering the existentialist philosopher, Friedreich Nietszche’s perspective on moving beyond good and evil, or moralities and judgement, to allow for the development of the “Overman,” we should first acknowledge what leads to such an awakening. Primarily, as a contemporary society, we have to realize that “God is dead,” and that we have killed him and made him obsolete as a result of our own inevitable progress in science with evolution theory, the end of the aristocracy, as well as with developments in our own thoughts, behavior, and philosophy. Additionally we also need to recognize our values and perceptions of concepts of morality and judgment and whether or not they’re our own and place ourselves in a mindset of self-valuation. We have to recognize all of these values that are imposed on us from the dual moralities that are the foundation of our social consciousness, Master and Slave Morality.

Jason Momoa, We Love You!
I was first introduced to Jason Momoa through my husband. Maybe that's not an entirely accurate statement, but hear me out. My husband used to watch Stargate: Atlantis regularly. As a result, I ended up at the very least being in the room when the show was on. I'd never really watched the TV series Stargate; I really wasn't a big fan of the original movie starring James Spader and Kurt Russell, so the thought of slogging through a series based off of the film was not one I entertained. However, my husband loves science fiction series, and so, I ultimately absorbed bits and pieces of Stargate: Atlantis through a form of osmosis.

The Perfect Order to Watch the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Movies
Man, I just watched Infinity War and that ending blew my mind. Easily in my top three Marvel movies. That was just—WOW. Anyways, many months ago, I wrote an article called, "How You Should Show Your Family and Friends Star Wars!" where I just talked about the right order to watch the Star Wars movies. The order I talked about is known as the Machete Order, and it's now a well-known term in the Star Wars community.

The Hidden Gems of Netflix - Part 2: Dig a Little Deeper...
Oh, the time I have lost to Netflix. Time I could be dedicating to finishing my second novel. Perfecting my cocktail flinging skills, painting an abstract masterpiece, or... well, literally anything else productive really.

Must-See Underrated Movies
There are movies that are widely promoted, highly anticipated, and largely grossing in the box office. Then there are all the other ones. So rare is it that a common person who isn't obsessed with movies knows of any films that haven't made the biggest impression at the theaters, if any at all. I set out to change this because more often than not, I've found, the underrated and non-publicized movies are some of the best I have ever seen.

'BlacKkKlansman' Review—Warning: Contains Minor Spoilers
I watched BlacKkKlansman this Tuesday and walked out onto the carpets of the cinema foyer feeling tears prickling in my eyes. It was a dramatic change from the tone that had been felt throughout the cinema for most of the film, the audience laughing away at some of the hilarious lines that were delivered in Spike Lee's comedic yet powerful depiction of the ongoing struggle black Americans face.

Up 'Schitt's Creek'
I've recently indulged in a series being shown on Netflix, starring Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara. With classics such as Best in Show and American Pie, Levy is an actor with a particular form of comedy that I happen to love. He's the reason I decided to try this series out. I can't help but assume his natural demeanor is incredibly similar to his on screen performances.

Once Again, Spike Lee Goes Over the Top in 'BlacKkKlansman'
I just went to see BlacKkKlansman. I had high hopes. But let’s first talk about Spike Lee. I’m well aware of how his films get in your face. Drawing both criticism and praise, he’s a cultural lightning rod that cannot and should not be ignored. For my part, I’ve only seen a few of his films. I liked Malcolm X, while Inside Man is among the best movies I’ve ever seen.

A Lifetime of Magic
The year is 1997. The first Harry Potter book comes out and the world has no idea that it is about to be taken by storm. No one yet knows that J.K Rowling, a young woman from the United Kingdom, has just given life to one of the greatest literary phenomenons in history. That magic is yet to be discovered. Especially for three children all the way across the world in the small town of Englewood, Ohio. I was only four when that book was released. I have very little memory of it. I do, however, have memories of the way my brother's room smelled when I snuck into it. The way that the pictures on his walls—not at all appropriate for a child—made me giggle. I remember the way his blankets felt so much warmer than mine when I would snuggle up underneath them, and I remember the sound of him coming home, and trying to put everything back the way I found it before he could realize I had been there. My first emotional connection to the famous series lies here. In the shelved of my big brother's bunk bed. Years would come and this would continue, until I was finally caught pulling Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire down from those shelves in the year 2000. I was caught by my sister, with a wide smile on her face. The look of a big sister who knew undoubtedly that they had just caught their younger sibling red handed. She laughed and asked what I was doing and I sheepishly explained to her that I was here in our brothers room to sneak a peek at books. It was hardly the worst crime in history.
