This post assumes readers are caught up on Game of Thrones through season 8, episode 2, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” and thus contains spoilers up to that point. We are finally in the last season of Game of Thrones, and the closer we get to the end, the more long-awaited fan theories are […]

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life is Truly Emily Gilmore’s Story
Going into the Gilmore Girls revival, there were a few things we were able to count on. Stars Hollow would remain the happy little town that it’s always been, Lorelai Gilmore would still be managing the Dragonfly, Luke would still be pouring coffee at his diner, and we’d find ourselves still wondering who Rory might […]
How to Make a Hasbro Movie (That Doesn’t Suck)
Last week, Variety dropped the news that a Clue remake is in the works at Fox Studios. The plan was originally part of an overarching Hasbro film universe based on beloved board games, something that Universal scrapped (well, ran screaming from, more like) after the massive failure that was Battleship. On the docket were films […]
The 10 Most Fantastic Companion Beasts (and Where I Found Them)
There’s something about mythical beasts that has always been a draw for me. Fantasy has long been my wheelhouse, and from the moment I met the Unicorn and her nemesis, the Red Bull, in Peter S. Beagle’s The Last Unicorn, I was lost for good. Mythical creatures were an immediate favorite, and they have stayed there ever since. But […]
Creative Soundtracks for the Attention Span-Impaired
If you’re anything like me, you can’t get anything done in a soundless vacuum. The opportunity for distraction is far too great.

How Much Do the Thor Films Contribute to the MCU?
Thor. Oh, Thor. To the surprise of exactly zero people in my life, Thor is my favorite Avenger (at least of the ones that have shown up in the MCU so far). I have multiple Thors on multiple desks in my life (two at work, one at home… for now). Thor is beautiful, he is […]
Oh Captain, My Captain
This past weekend, I finished up Ms. Marvel (2014). There I was, in the back of a car heading west from Augusta towards Atlanta on a hot Saturday evening, my iPhone closer to my face than probably necessary, trying not to cry like a baby as I wrapped up one of the most charming and […]
A Book Reader’s Review of Hulu’s 11.22.63
This article contains spoilers for 11.22.63, both Stephen King’s novel and the Hulu adaptation. Last Monday, the final episode of Hulu’s adaptation of Stephen King’s 11.22.63 went up. I read the book as soon as King released it, and I really enjoyed it. I would argue that it’s one of the best books he’s written […]
Five by Friday: Top 5 Men With Beards
Welcome to Five by Friday! This week I’m taking the reins and talking about my top five favorite characters with beards, because men with beards are a delight and a blessing and we are all lucky to live in a world where men can grow hair on their faces. Join us in the comments or on your […]
Reviewing BioWare’s Three Dragon Age: Inquisition Single-Player DLCs
Dragon Age: Inquisition is the third installment of the award-winning Dragon Age series after Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2. Those of us who have played these games from the beginning and have grown fond of the world of Thedas and the people who inhabit it were thrilled to get the game when it […]
