The Game
I was looking for a quick read that would keep me busy for a couple of days, and I decided to pull “The Game” off of the shelf. This short novel (perhaps novella?) by Linsey Miller was something that I scooped up the last time the local bookstore was having a sale. It looked like a quick, easy read, and it seemed to have all of the ingredients of a good story: mystery, intrigue, young love, adventure, drama–what more could you want? However, after turning the final page, I felt disappointed and a bit let down.

Audio Delicacies 2022
Podcast listeners are rewarded by the seemingly infinite depth of “ear worthy” podcast content. Podcast listeners also suffer from that same strength. Why? Because, when there are tens of thousands of podcasts worth minutes of your audio focus, two things will happen. First, podcast fans will certainly miss some terrific content. Second, great podcasts will slip into oblivion because listeners don’t know their podcast exists.

Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol turns 60
A holiday classic is born There are hundreds of movie, television, stage, and animated adaptations of the novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. One that is beloved and has withstood the test of time is Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol which premiered on NBC on December 18 1962 and remains a favorite holiday animated musical six decades later. It's hard to believe that it was so many years ago when children gathered around black-and-white television sets with families to watch this annual TV special that was Christmasy, serious, and comical all at the same time.

Sighted and Sounded Out
The list is out; the magazine will arrive here soon; the controversy grows. Every ten years, the British Film Institute puts out a special issue of their magazine called 'Sight and Sound: The 100 Greatest Films of All Time'. The list is compiled from the votes of academics, insiders, critics, and - as a novelty - even directors. There is one for critics and one specifically for directors and the twain often do not meet. But this year, it seems like they are screaming at each other over the holiday meal without letting the other side get in a single word.

Imagining the Curtailed Future of Minx Through Viva. Top Story - December 2022. Created with: OG Collection.
One of the latest casualties of an overhaul of HBO Max done by Warner Bros. Discovery was Minx, a comedy centered on a semi-fictional erotic magazine for women published in 1970s Los Angeles. Despite a strong critical response to the first season, which premiered on March 17, 2022 and holds a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, new leadership at the streamer pulled the series even after a previous renewal and days ahead of production wrapping on the second season. Co-executive producer and star Jake Johnson has since said that filming will wrap and that the Minx team is hoping for a new home for the show.

Rory's death will impact Trina and Spencer's future
Rory's death will affect everything on General Hospital General Hospital fans are not on board with the way things seem to be shaping up for Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). Rory Cabrera (Michael Cruse) was attacked by the hook and several spoilers say he will die. Will Lipton (Cameron Webber) commented on a social media post by saying "Was a pleasure" which is past tense and sounds like Cabrera is already gone. Rory's death will only cause more confusion for Trina and she might even push Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chaves) away.

Animation - not just for kids
For ages, the stubborn statement that anything that is drawn (and by extension, animated) is for children. Even after titans like The Simpsons or South Park made their way into pop culture, the idea remained: animation was a somehow lesser medium for storytelling than live action. Even in this day and age, creators like Guillermo del Toro (who has a few animated passion projects himself, such as The Tales of Arcadia or the umpteenth new Pinocchio movie this year) spoke up against the discrimination of animation as a medium. And while del Toro's animated movies and series aren't neccesarelly ones I'd categorize as "adult animation", the fact remains: animation still has a long way to go.
