Indentured: Trapped In Chains
Throughout history, there has always been a "master" and "slave." This is present in all walks of life, for example, the Russian boyars and serfs, the French bourgeoisie and the proletariat, and the American plantation owners and their African slaves. Comparably, the American colonists could be considered slaves to the British Monarchy, their master. In the musical Hamilton, Miranda’s choice of actors, with the Founding Fathers as people of color and King George as white, brings to light the struggle the colonists faced against Britain, the fight to establish their rights, and the uphill battle toward independence.

Top 10 Must-Watch Studio Ghibli Films
After watching so many films and studying many more while I earned my degree in Film Studies, I got to thinking about what really got me so interested in film in the first place. I remembered watching Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service so many times when I was young that my grandmother gave me the nickname Kiki, which my family still calls me to this day. Studio Ghibli has never once disappointed me with their films, I may not like some as much as others, but I've liked them enough to start collecting every film they have ever produced.

The DCEU Has Failed
A couple of days ago, Henry Cavill, who you may know is the DC Extended Universe's Superman, agreed with a large block of fans that the DCEU has ultimately become a disappointment. In 2013, DC began its attempt to catch up to the monumental success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe when they released Man of Steel. Now to be clear from the beginning, I'm a fan of both Marvel and DC Comics. Both franchises have so much to offer geeks the world over, and I was initially excited to see DC kick start its own film universe. However, Man of Steel failed to ignite true excitement among DC fans for a movie universe, and while the film in and of itself was enjoyable, it was to be the beginning of a struggling project that would, in my view, ultimately fail.

Best Live Action Adaptations of Cartoons Never Made
Kids have always spent tons of time watching Saturday morning cartoons, but why haven't some of these classic cartoon series been on the big screen? The best live action adaptations of cartoons never made are huge missed opportunities. For the nostalgia factor alone, many of these cartoons would bring out huge crowds ready to spend their money and re-live their youth a bit.

How to (Not) Handle an OP Character
So in researching my Isekai video, I started watching In Another World with My Smartphone… and well it’s kinda bad. No hard feelings if you like it, but personally I just can’t get into it, and I started to wonder why that was. Because it’s made… competently, there were some parts I enjoyed and its premise isn’t that dissimilar to Konosuba. Guy dies before his time, so he gets to live out his life in a fantasy world and is allowed to bring one thing with him. Yeah, the start line is almost identical, except Aqua’s gotten an upgrade and is actually useful. But from there, these two stories diverge drastically. Because in Isekai Smartphone, our protagonist didn’t just get to keep his cellular device, God also gives him a stupidly high affinity for magic, Matrix-level reflexes, and basically a photographic memory, making him right off the bat one of the strongest characters in the world he wakes up in. Very OP, if you will. And this is where the problems start. There are right ways and wrong ways to portray an overpowered character, and this show firmly falls into that latter camp.

Sex and The Fighting Cast
The other big story over the last few weeks has been the feud between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall. Unlike the Harvey Weinstein story, this one doesn't leave me feeling icky all over. Yes, "icky" is a technical word. It gives me an idea for a Jackie Collins (R.I.P.) type novel, though it also leaves a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to women's empowerment issues because, well, women are fighting one another instead of fighting FOR one another.
