If This, Then That
If that, Then this Being a script writer or any type of writer to be exact take more than just writing. It's also about researching what's out there in the general public and what makes that project so popular. In the past couple of years I got back engaged with television. I stop because I thought it was just a waste of time but recently I learned that you can learn from any source of publication that is out there nowadays. Just know what to believe and what not to believe because well some people use their gifts and talents to misinterpreted others. I been watching cable show's, Netflix, Amazon prime, and recently got introduce to Flix Tor. One of my favorite shows I have to tune in on my CW app. That show is none other than All American. I been watching All American well over a year now and it is a show that kept my attention ever since. It's base on a true story about an African-American professional football player Spencer Paysinger. Though I don't know anything about Spencer Paysinger I do know most of the things detailed in this show is about him. It's one of those show's that teaches you about social awareness and striving for your dreams. It's base on a highschool football player trying to make it to the pros. As he well on his way he had obstacles he had to over come. I like this show because well I'm a African-American and I feel connected to this tale because it share similarities to my upbringing. Though I never played football in highschool I did wanted to but my grandmother thought I would get hurt. I'm more intrigued by the writer and how he break down the elements of struggle. Though Beverly hills is a wealthy successful neighborhood the children from there still struggle with there own life problems. Olivia struggle with addiction, Asher struggle with his parents separation and steroids, and Layla struggle from mental problems past on by her decease mom. Yeah it's even more but another reason I like this show is because it's a show that's break's through the racial barriers. Showing inter-racial relationship's and solving problems together no matter your ethnic background.

Think Cult Classics, but Female Friendships
Once I started buying my own DVDs, it felt like a step into adulthood that I didn’t know was there. My brother makes fun and speaks truth of my collection that is comprised of my choices and my choices only: I love movies with homoerotic undertones. Seeing Oceans 8, Ghostbusters (2016), Incredibles 2, and Captain Marvel on my shelf, I can’t deny my sensibilities.

Gina Carano Stans Trying to Destroy the Oscars?
So there I was on YouTube, looking at the recommended videos for me, and I see a video called "MINARI | Scene at the Oscars." Well, that's perfect because I just recently saw Minari and liked it, so I'd love to see what Oscar promotional material they are putting out. I click on the video, and I'm about thirty seconds into the lush images southern farm life when I notice something odd: The like-to-dislike ratio on the video is 237 to 138.

Reflex Media and the Strange Content Phenomenon
If you and I grew up around the same time you might remember when Finn the Human found a pair of magic glasses and learned everything about the universe. Finn’s following words, “Everything small is just a small version of everything big,” is just one example of the number of truth bombs sprinkled throughout the wildly popular series, Adventure Time. The fact that my wife and I still watch this show and that it has become the favorite bedtime ritual of our 4-year-old son speaks to key pieces of what defines Reflex Media, this tidal wave of brand-new genres of content that are being devoured by masses of millennials and Gen Z-ers.

How to Fall Down the Black Hole of Streaming Services
Though streaming services have created algorithms to match us with shows and movies we might enjoy, there exists a fairy, whose recommendations never fail (unlike the streaming services). The 98% match is not always a match Netflix..., but thank you for trying.
