Marvel/DC Crossovers
We are talking about Marvel and DC crossovers again and this time we have 1 really fun and interactive crossover and one not so great crossover. As a fun reminder that not every comic book storyline is a winner. Crossovers are a fun way to explore new ideas and interesting storylines but sometimes they aren’t actually executed that well and that’s okay.

Desperate Housewives
I am not sure why it took me so long to watch Desperate Housewives because this is exactly my vibe. I know the show was popular during its run and has its fair amount of pop culture references in other pieces of media but I don’t know if younger people now understand how good this show was. Now I have only watched the first season, but the premise of a show that is based around housewives in the suburbs narrated by their dead friend is incredible. So let’s get into it.

House of the Dragon S2, E1
House of the Dragon is finally back for its second season and the dance has begun. At the end of the first season Rhaenyra had been usurped by Alicent and her little rapist son Aegon. Lucerys and his dragon died at the hands of Vagar and Aemond. Rhaenyra birthed her own stillborn child and everyone is getting ready for war. House of the Dragon season 2 promises more dragons, and more violence. I am going to state this now, if you are in any way, shape, or form team green you are going to want to stay far away from me. There is no justification for that and if you’re team green I am going to assume that you are stupid and therefore your opinions and thoughts mean nothing.

The Fall Guy
The Fall Guy is the fun time that was promised by the original marketing. It was clearly made by people who love movies. From the beginning credits to the end of the movie it's very evident that everyone involved in this film really knew what the best parts of action and romance movies are. It was more than I expected it to be and it knew exactly what it was.

Entering Anime
If you are a fan of television and movies, of any genre, but have yet to venture into the world of anime, you are missing out. To so many people, anime still seems like this really niche thing for people to enjoy. Some write it off as just Japanese cartoons and mistake it for children. But the reality is that anime is a world of its own with deep, rich stories for people of all ages to enjoy. However a subsection of media with as much content as anime has can be very intimidating, so how does someone get started?

The Boys Season 4
Butcher is officially no longer a member of The Boys, MM kicked him out and even when Butcher came to help he was not welcomed back. The Starlighters that the crazy Homelander fans tried to frame for murder were freed because of A-Train. Butcher’s brain mass is causing him to hallucinate, MM is going a little hard into being the leader and we will see how far that gets our boys.

House of the Dragon
We are getting ready for season 2 of House of the Dragon, when the dance really starts. But before we do we should probably revisit season 1. Season 1 set up the dance and pretty much nothing else which means the things that come next have already been set in motion. I will be using Fire and Blood to attempt to determine what we might see this season while keeping in line with all the things that the tv show has changed about the characters.

The Boys Season 4, Episode 2
The first episode did kick off the season the right way, and honestly it was a lot less gory than expected. As far as violence goes, the first episode was pretty tame. The first episode actually focused more on the emotional motivations and some of the fallout from the end of last season. All it really did was set up what is expected for the rest of the season. This is your final warning for spoilers, I am literally recapping the episode so if you haven’t watched it yet, please come back later.

The Boys Season 4, Episode 1
We left off with Mauve faking her death and running away, soldier boy being put back on ice and Ryan choosing to be with Homelander. Season 3 is the penultimate season of The Boys and it promises to be more traumatizing then anything we’ve seen yet. Erik Kripke has promised that though Amazon greenlit the show for another season that season 5 will be the last season. For some reason Noir is being played by someone else as the actual Noir was killed by Homelander. So let's see what season 4 has in store for us. This is your spoiler warning, there will be spoilers. This is an episode recap so all of the spoilers that there could be, there will be.

Marvel/DC Crossovers
Over the years Marvel and DC have combined their powers many times to give up some intense, fun and wild crossover events. Some have been with each company's major teams and some have been with individual characters, and some I know you didn’t even know existed. So in this latest article series we will be talking about all of the Marvel and DC crossovers in existence.

MCU Rewatch
We are into phase 2 for our MCU rewatch and thus we have watched Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World. These are regarded as two of the worst films in the MCU so we are going to talk about them. Are they really that bad? Or was the first impression so terrible that simply no one has gone back to check in the last decade. Well we had to and the overall result is that these movies are, in fact, not great. But why? And how could we have fallen so far from the quality that was phase 1?

Most Bingeable Shows
Binge watching is a relatively new term that came to society with the rise of streaming services. Not that the action of binge watching didn’t exist before, but now we have a name for it. So here we go, we are going to talk about the best shows to Binge watch. Now I think my personal criteria for this is going to be; shows with 5 seasons or less. I find binge watching shows longer than that a little intimidating and I tend to lose interest a little quicker. That said we still want a decent amount of episodes so nothing under 8 episodes a season because at that point, why do it? I hate getting super interested in something and not having enough of it. And last but not least we need something that is consistent. I don’t want to invest 100 hours of my life into something that ends up sucking.
