Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War hits theaters on May 6th and we are EXCITED. In anticipation of the new movie we’re spending the next two weeks leading up to the release spotlighting the Marvel Universe.

And I’m back with this week’s recaps! I’ve made it all the way through Episode 10 without quitting, so I’m considering this a mini-victory. Especially after episode 7. Wow.

It used to be that the biggest actors of […]
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 […]
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 […]
