Agatha All Along
Episode 9 really shoved a lot of stuff into it's 45 minutes. Almost nothing that was set up or alluded to the whole show was paid off. And it was extremely rushed. The finale is going to be however many minutes of conclusion which also seems like a waste. We didn’t seem to know how to structure this at all. We needed more Rio and Agatha, and we needed more Agatha and Nicky and we needed to not completely waste the Salem Seven. The only real upside to the last episode was seeing Billy descend from the sky as full on Wiccan and I can’t wait to see him pop up again in the MCU, I live for the Children’s Crusade.

Agatha All Along
Last weeks episode of Agatha All Along got us back on track as far as the story goes, seeing the story from Lilia’s timeline was very entertaining and did a great job of making us feel a part of the story. That said there is a lot to wrap up and we are in the last two episodes of the show. I am anticipating some things being slightly rushed but let’s see how this goes.

More Than Oogie Boogie
This is a tribute story to Kenneth "Ken" Page. Most know him as the voice of the scary gambling Oogie Boogie from Tim Burton's Nightmare Bef0re Christmas however Page was more than the voice of the Oogie Boogie Man, he was a Broadway star starring in Broadway musicals like Cats, The Wiz, and Ain't Misbehavin. Since Halloween is around the corner, his character Oogie Boogie is most populous character even on Halloween plus in Disney merch and it has been four weeks since Ken's passing and his death hasn't made much press since other Broadway stars Gavin Creel and James Earl Jones has also passed away this year.

The End of a Cosplay Era
They say that all good things must come to an end. After 10 years of cosplay awesomeness and two cosplay contest victories, I recently attended my final con ever as a cosplayer. This was BentonvilleCon in Bentonville, Arkansas. It was a one-day fun-filled event with cosplays, pop culture vendors, special guests, a video game tournament, a gaming room, and a cosplay contest. My final cosplay was Baseball Hall of Famer, Reggie Jackson along with a 3-D printed World Series trophy created by my long-time cosplay craftsman. I entered the Four Points Hotel, where the convention was held, with both happiness and sadness, being it would be the final time I stepped foot inside of a venue as a cosplayer. During my time there, I was interviewed by a local news station about what being a cosplayer meant to me and attending my last convention. To end this eventful day, I participated in my final cosplay contest. While I didn't win any awards, I won the hearts of the attendees and everyone else at the event. After that, I left the event and headed home, closing the chapter to a 10-year cosplay journey that has been filled with wonderful memories I'll remember forever.

Woman of the Hour
Woman of the Hour is another festival drop by Netflix but the most intriguing part of this movie for me is that Anna Kendrick is not only the star, but the director. When they lost the original director Anna pitched herself for the role and she got it. I love this for her. I love the vibe and aesthetic of the film from what I have seen so far so let’s get into it.
