I'm a superhero. ⚡😁👍 It's a dangerous job, but somebody's gotta do it. I often wonder how many other superheroic authors are on Vocal. ⚡🤔

Salome's Last Dance
Daria Tessler's Salome's Last Dance is a darkly backward uglification of comics that explores the brainpan of one "Magnus the Magnificent", a bleak, black-hatted stage magician with a dancing dog who goes to see a headshrinker whose best pal and Igor-like underling is named Smudge. Are you getting all of this?

Ai=:new era

From the moment we wake up to the time we go to sleep, AI is silently working behind the scenes, enhancing our experiences and shaping the future.

Penn and Teller Get Killed
Quite possibly the worst piece of cinematic offal (rhymes with "awful") ever inflicted on a tortured audience, Penn and Teller Get Killed [1] is an hour and a half of eye-peeling celluloid agony. It was conceived and birthed in a rancid, mutant fashion around the time I was sliding into juvenile delinquency, and it absolutely reeks, my friend. Picture this: the cinematic equivalent of rotten gouda, the movie world's answer to sauerkraut left to fester overnight in boiling summer heat, swarming with flies. It’s like stained, feculent, rotting boxers. It’s so bad that bad needs a new level to sink to, a fresh nuance of meaning to emphasize just HOW abysmally dreadful this film is. In short: you could produce better movies while stoned on Benzedrine and randomly splicing episodes of "Gilligan’s Island," guided by the Fibonacci Sequence. The outcome would still make more sense.

On "Fuel," Eminem twists lyrics to reference allegations against Diddy and suggests connections to the unsolved deaths of hip-hop legends Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls.

Geek Chic
The roots of geek culture can be traced back to the mid-20th century, when science fiction literature, comic books, and early computer technology began to capture the imaginations of young enthusiasts. These early adopters formed tight-knit communities, often meeting in basements or garages to share their passions and discoveries. Despite being marginalized by mainstream society, these geeks laid the groundwork for the cultural revolution that would follow.

Mind Your Own!
October has arrived... I feel it in the air after a very long and stubborn run of humidity and warmth that made many Canadians feel as if there was some sort of meteorological joke playing out among us. As we say, 'If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes...'. Something is always coming down the pipe. And change and surprises are very much on my mind as I write this.

The Wild Robot
The Wild Robot is a wonderful adventure for the whole family. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will make you question how dark your humor can be, especially when watching an animated movie mostly targeted at kids.
