For black workers in all facets of many corporate industries, two truths tend to exist. There has been progress regarding what voices matter and who gets to be featured on mastheads and positions of leadership (even though that has regressed since the 2020 protests). With elevation comes certain expectations, often leading to Black workers repressing […]

I’d be remiss to wonder if there wasn’t consideration to slightly retweak the title based upon most of Love At First Sight’s setting. Based on Jennifer E. Smith’s 2011 novel, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, much of the film’s first half takes place inside an airport and a long plane ride to […]

Killer Book Club wants you to know that it’s aware of the slasher road films like the Scream franchise and I Know What You Did Last Summer have paved for it. It’s to the extent that it combines many of the classic elements into one package. You have many different characters serving different high school […]

In the opening moments of director Brian Knappenberger’s documentary, Scouts Honor: The Secret Files of the Boy Scouts of America, the organization is painted as “mom, pop, and apple pie.” Classic footage plays of young boys doing archery, smiling, and in the backdrop of various Presidents. The Boy Scouts have always had the patriotic air […]

As wrestling fans, we tune in weekly to the men and women who use their minds and bodies to tell a story. Some seem very far-fetched, such as somebody being buried alive or struck by lightning – but the beautiful dance exists between the push and pull of holding on to that belief. Even if […]

If the technology were available, I wouldn’t doubt that anybody would use time travel to go back and change things from the past – especially when an action could bring back a deceased loved one. In previous Sci-Fi films of that nature, like The Butterfly Effect or Back To The Future, there are always consequences […]

Peace is a foreign concept when it comes to the Star Wars universe. Even as the Empire has fallen at the end of Return of the Jedi, that leaves a considerable power vacuum for someone to fill. ‘Master and Apprentice’ is a slow table setter of what all available parties are after. The title of […]

It’s the last week of the NFL preseason, so things are becoming more solidified regarding depth charts. Many of these games these weekends will serve as dress rehearsals before we officially kick off the 2023 NFL regular season. But that also means players will be fighting for their lives to make 53-man rosters. Right after […]

The third season of Netflix’s Untold has taken us through the eccentric and disruptive nature of Jake Paul’s boxing career, the rise and fall of Johnny Football, and the complicated deceits of the BALCO steroid trial. But everything has been building up to the finale, the four-part Florida Gators expose, Swamp Kings. After the success […]

When Bishop Sycamore took the field against IMG Academy on August 29, 2021, ESPN commentator Anish Shroff said that the high school was “a bit of a mystery” going into the game. Given the 58-0 result, that proved to be the understatement of that year. How does an alleged high school team that hadn’t won […]

I had various entry points concerning my long-standing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom. There was, of course, the 1990 live-action film, the Saturday morning cartoon with the infectious opening song, and the Nintendo and arcade games. We’ve been through decades of Ninja Rap, reboots and remakes, and larger-than-life costumes. With a beloved franchise such as […]
