13 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Watch 13 Reasons Why
Spoiler Alert — Trigger Warning — For The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Call 1–800–273–8255 When I finally finished binge watching 13 Reasons Why, I was feeling a little shell shocked.

The Greatest Movie Ever?
I am a huge, huge movie buff. I remember loving movies for as long as I can...remember. I remember the giddy feeling I used to feel as a child, when I would go to the video store. Everything about the damned place was magical to my eyes back then: The huge gum-ball machines near the front entrance; the big lit-up sign in front of my main store; the smell while walking in, which was like a mixture of something just created in a factory and new car smell.

Goodnight, "Dave's Mom"
A late night talk show seems an unlikely place for homespun Indiana humor, yet it was the place where the most famous of late night show moms, Dorothy Mengering, became an unwitting star. Dorothy Mengering was better known as David Letterman's mom, not mother. Mengering passed away April 11, just one day before her son's 70th birthday, at 95.

Movies and TV Exploring Inside the Human Body
There's something truly fascinating about exploring inside the human body from a comfortable position on your sofa. No need to roll on the plastic gloves. No sterile scalpels or pale blue smocks. Nothing squishy and sticky to plunge your hands into.

The Meaning (or Lack Thereof) Of Life With "Rick and Morty"
It's a safe assumption nearly everyone has at one point asked these simple yet unanswerable questions: “why are we here?” and “is there a purpose to our lives?” We might never get the answers to these questions.

Forgotten 'Toons
Cartoons have been a part of our collective lives in one form or another for hundreds of years. Even Leonardo da Vinci drew caricatures based on famous personalities of his day. The cartoon characters most of us are familiar with are the ones who have turned up on television or been made famous by regular appearances in newspapers and books.

The promotional machine is now kicking into full gear, ahead of its May return to TV; for fans of the original series, there will doubtfully be any more significant TV moment this year. But those who weren't around during its '90's peak (pun intended) or haven't yet watched are likely wondering what all the fuss is about. So here's everything you need to know...
