Stan Lee
I had trouble thinking of someone notable who I would not only be able to find a biography on, but also a person that I would enjoy reading a biography about. However, I have finally landed on a biography of Stan Lee, the man who made Marvel one of the biggest names in modern American culture. The title of the Biography is “Stan Lee: The Man Behind Marvel” which covers his upbringing in depression era America and chronicles his life events and accomplishments. One major developmental theory I would like to include in this project is the Nature vs Nurture theory. Stan Lee grew up in depression era America but became one of the most influential men of modern times. I believe that Nature/Nurture debate would be a great fit for this project.

The Mole: The Netflix Reboot
If you're unfamiliar with The Mole, I implore you to check out my previously published article here on Vocal detailing the early 2000s family whodunit show. It was ahead of its time, cryptic, at times hilarious, and borderline reality show perfection.

Wednesday - A review
I’m a grown man in his thirties, who never liked the horror genre in movies and who doesn’t care much for Tim Burton’s work either. Nor was I a fan of the original Addams Family movies or TV shows or cartoons or comics. Not particularly fond of teen dramas or goths, either.

21st Century Pride & Prejudice
How should I start this one off? If you are ever looking for an 160 episode Youtube web series adaptation of Pride & Prejudice, that won Youtube it's first ever Primetime Emmy Award, and takes about 12 hours to watch if you watch it all in one day like I did... then look no further than The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (2011-2013).
