The 2010s Will Be Remembered As the Sequel Era of Pixar
When you look back with hindsight at a franchise that has had many releases, it gets easier to divide the history of its releases into eras. Pixar has released 21 feature-length films since 1995. Some might say that one era ended in 2006 when Pixar was acquired by Disney. But I believe that when one takes a look at what's been released so far, they could divide it up into two major eras, the latter of which is comprised solely of the 2010s. With this decade almost over, I believe that we can firmly refer to this era as The Sequel Era of Pixar.

'The Parcast Network'
For the past two years, I have been listening to a podcast network that is as diverse as it is interesting. The Parcast Network started back in 2016 as a series of true crime podcasts that are professionally produced and presented. Starting with Unsolved Murders, the network now has some 22 individual podcast series that range from true crime, history, science, and the paranormal. Moreover, it continues to grow, the latest show is The Dark Side Of... It doesn't look like Parcast will stop growing anytime soon.

What to expect from the Re-Release of Avengers: Endgame
With the booming success of Marvel's twenty second installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it's no surprise that the company decided to put the movie back out into theaters. With $2.75 Billion USD Endgame is currently sitting behind the highest grossing film of all time, Avatar, which has a gross revenue of $2.79.Billion USD. This competition is the stuff of legends and some pretty amazing memes, as Endgame quickly rose to sink other memorable movies such as Titanic. Many Marvel fans are hoping that this last push will get Endgame over the finish line.

Phoenix from the Ashes? Or Just a Pile of Dust? All X-Men Films Rated
Starting in 2000, the X-Men franchise is the longest-running Marvel film series, with it being older than both the Spider-Man franchise and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The films helped thrust the Marvel comic book movies into the mainstream, after years of being in DC’s shadow. However, the movies featuring the mutant family have had polarising reviews, with the general consensus being that the series is quite hit-or-miss. So like when the Phase 1 MCU films were ranked, when did they hit the mark? And when did they miss by a mile? Let’s have a look.
