Percy Jackson
The first season of the Disney+ Percy Jackson series is now over and I have many thoughts. Now these are thoughts completely untainted by nostalgia or even knowledge of the book. I wanted to wait until the end of the season to read the first book so there will be another article comparing the two. However I firmly believe that the series stands on its own and the complaints from book readers are nitpicky and irrelevant.

Dune Review
Okay so here’s the deal…I didn’t see Dune when it was first released. But now the second part is coming out and they re-released the first part in theaters so we went to go see it so I wasn’t incredibly lost. I loved it. Obviously I am going to get into some details here but I think it is one of the best fantasy stories ever written.
