Stargate: The Movie
Do you like sci-fi? Do you like archaeology? What about Egyptology and little ancient aliens? You know, before it became popular. That is what we got in the 1994 classic, Stargate. Starring James Spader and Kurt Rusell, this cinematic epic launched one of the best sci-fi franchises of the 90s.

Heartwarming, Tragic, Inspirational
A film that resonates with the inner child in each of us, Dead Poets Society is and will remain timeless, and something that we each should return to when we fear we are losing a grip on our purpose, our innocence, our joy, or our lust for life.

The Bible
In all fairness, the Bible is the only book of the trilogy I’ve read. Mostly because the beginning is a recap of the first. I have not read the third book, mainly because I wasn’t terribly impressed with the Bible. Lots of continuity errors. Also, the book clubs get weird.

Calvin and Hobbs
These books were a godsend for a lonely, only child. I can’t think of a character I connected with more as a child. A precocious only child, check. His main company is his stuffed animal, check. Spends most of his day lost in his imagination, check. Thank you Bill Watterson.

X-Men: The Animated Series
Let’s be honest, X-Men: The Animated Series made the Marvel Cinematic Universe what it is. If this show didn’t exist, they’re would have been far less hype over the X-Men movie in 2000. This show was amazing from the theme song, to every plot line. We love and miss it.

Marvel Multiverse Saga so far
As a friendly reminder, we're currently in the Mulitverse Saga of the MCU. I loved the Infinity Saga from start to finish. Very few blemishes. However, so far the multiverse saga has been immensely disappointing. A pitiful ratio of good/bad projects and horrible CGI. I really hope this changes soon.

The Managerial Revolution
There are few books that have had such a large influence on my life. The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham is one of the few that have changed my life's trajectory entirely. It is a fascinating, insightful, and contemporaneous look at the conflict between Fascism, Communism, and the New Deal.

Extremely Bad
Have you ever been asked, “What’s the worst book you’ve read?” I am often asked this when people find out my passion for literature. I always answer the same: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. This book is exhaustingly unreadable. I stopped after the second chapter. I want my time back.

Choosing Between Two Stories
Oh my goodness! I was sitting there, going back and forth over my choices. Which do I want to choose? I can make a case for both of them! I don't know which to go with but I need to choose just one. I was thinking, "Who could I ask for help, choosing between two stories?"

Shoresy
Even if you're not a hockey fan, Shoresy is a show I recommend for anyone and everyone. Granted you can get lost in a lot of the dialogue because well, Canada and Hockey. But even with just 1 season so far, you need to watch Shoresy. Hilarious, heartwarming, and intriguing.
