Argylle
In a time where movie audiences are desperate for something new and creative we welcome Argylle. Marketed as a movie about a spy novel, author Argyll offers a fun and exciting twist on existing spy and action movies. I’m not going to lie. I really didn’t expect a lot from this movie, I expected some humor, and a very campy feeling. What I didn’t expect was a genuinely fun and creative movie.

Defense Under A Full Moon
Today is National Werewolf Day. A werewolf is a person who changes for a period into a wolf-like creature, typically during the full moon. The earliest written story involving werewolves was in the Epic of Gilgamesh in 2,100 BC. The myth itself originated in Ancient Greece when King Lycaon tried to trick Zeus into eating human flesh, but unfortunately, it backfired on him. Today, werewolves are used in popular media to show a character with great strength and courage. The most common way to become a werewolf is to get bitten by one on a full moon. Here are some tips to follow if you find yourself being stalked by one.

Stain's Principle
In the rich tapestry of hero narratives within the realm of manga and anime, few characters have left as profound an impact as Stain, the enigmatic antagonist from Kohei Horikoshi's "My Hero Academia." Stain's principle, a belief system centered around the purification of heroism through the elimination of "fake" heroes, is a moral and philosophical cornerstone that challenges the very foundation of the hero society portrayed in the series. Despite his radical methods, Stain's unwavering respect for All Might, the symbol of peace, adds a layer of complexity to his character. This essay endeavors to dissect Stain's principle, exploring its ideological underpinnings, its implications within the world of "My Hero Academia," and the paradoxical nature of Stain's respect for All Might.

How To Get Into One Piece
In August, the One Piece Live Action dropped, quickly becoming the most-viewed show on Netflix at the time. I remember seeing in my YouTube recommended lists a lot of reviews from YouTubers who had never gotten into One Piece, who were watching the Live Action excitedly. I forced my ex-girlfriend to watch it, myself, and in turn she got her parents hooked. (Her dad’s favorite is Buggy. Everyone’s favorite is Buggy. Jeff Ward is a treasure. Jeff, if you’re reading this, I love you.) At around the same time, the YouTube channel “Dudes Talking Manga” started a series where one of the titular dudes read the One Piece manga for the first time in his life, reacting to it as the muse took him. One Piece is my favorite franchise; while I didn’t necessarily grow up with it, I did get into it when I was in my mid-teens, and it’s stuck with me this long.
