Top 5 Actresses Who Should Play the Devil on the "Fantasy Island" Reboot
We are all familiar with Fantasy Island, aren't we? This phenomenon began all the way back in 1977, when a pair of telefilms set the stage for the hit series that was one of the many brain-children of the iconic Aaron Spelling. The premise was a simple one: visitors to the titular island lived out their fantasies, whatever they were, but there was always a price or a life lesson involved. The original series starred the legendary Ricardo Montalban as Mr. Roarke, who ran the island along with his longtime friend and assistant, Tattoo, played memorably by Herve Villechaize.

Reviewing "Disenchanted" and its "Wicked Good" Quartet of Villainesses
I remember how excited I was when the news broke that a sequel to the 2007 film, Enchanted, was coming. It was in May of 2022 that the sequel, Disenchanted, became official, and it was announced for a November premiere date on Disney+. Finally, on New Year's Eve, right before I watched the College Football Playoff games, I hit Disney+ to watch this. I had seen the first film 15 years ago at the theater, and I remember enjoying it so much, so I figured that the sequel would totally shine as well, and lo and behold, I was right.

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2022 (Part 2: The Top 5)
As I said while writing the first half of this list, it was hard to whittle this down to the top 10, and even the top five was difficult, a contrast to last year, when I had my top five decided. It took a lot of thought and a lot of time, and a lot of time, but I finally have my top five cemented. With that said, they are as follows:

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2022 (Part 1: #10 - #6)
Wow! This is my second year doing this list on Vocal, and as amazing as 2021 was, 2022 truly gave us some immensely memorable and awesome Lifetime film villainesses! I did have a devil of a time devising this list, as there were so many I could feature, so whittling it down to the top 10 was quite a task, but I managed to do it. Regarding this year's list, I decided to do something different this year. How different? Well, I can't tell you that. You'll just have to read on and see. One similarity: the top 1o list will be split into two parts, and Part 1 goes as follows:

Tommy Oliver: the GOAT of Power Rangers
This hurts. This really hurts. I've been a Power Rangers fan since this amazing phenomenon kicked off all the way back in 1993, when I was only eight years old. I've seen many different Rangers for so many years, but the bottom line is, the absolute GOAT when it comes to the Power Rangers is, without question, Tommy Oliver. Sadly, we lost the man who gave us this iconic character, as on November 19, 2022, Jason David Frank passed away at the age of 49. The biggest understatement I could ever say is that Tommy was my favorite Ranger, because those five words just won't cut it. I need to give more than that, it's well deserved.

The camaraderie of hyper-capitalism vs anti-capitalism in Squid Season 2
Many people have been anxiously awaiting the second season of Squid Game, the most-watched show on Netflix. To win prizes in the first season, players had to compete in several lethal kid-friendly games. The upcoming season, which is also expected to break yet another Netflix record, delves deeper into the limitations and economic background of the surrealistic games. Green light, red light. When the song starts, move forward; when it ends, freeze. It's a fairly easy game. Or is it that moving after the music has stopped carries a death sentence? It was clear from the first season that Squid Game allegorizes the horrors of capitalism through kid-friendly games. Three years later, the second season of arguably the most significant television program of our time advances its adamantly anti-capitalist theme. It accomplishes this by exposing the illusion of "choice" in a system threatening to starve the great majority. In this article, I dive deeper into the dystopian nuances of capitalism and the illusion of choice that stir up scenarios very similar to reality.
