Karina ThyraPublished 6 years ago in GeeksWhy The Valleyfolk Will Be the Biggest Thing on YouTube in 2018
It's often hard for a new channel to stick out on YouTube. YouTube's algorithm tends to cater to their bigger channels, so it's difficult for a new up and coming channel to find their footing. The Valleyfolk managed to buck that trend in a big way. Within the first 24 hours of their new channel, The Valleyfolk have over ninety-three thousand subscribers, made it to #4 on YouTube's trending page, and have almost 3,500 backers on their Patreon. So what is this channel and how did it become so successful so quickly?
Jason SchwartzPublished 6 years ago in GeeksOpening Night in Theatre
Nothing quite explains how you feel when a show you've been working on is about to do it's first performance, live, in front of an audience. And here I am trying to write a blog post about it... oh well, it's too late now to go back. We are both way to far along in the post to give up now. Opening night for an actor really encourages your best, gives a crazy shot of adrenaline, and can't really be experienced anywhere else.
Kevin RothlisbergerPublished 6 years ago in GeeksWhy 'My Hero Academia' Scares Me
I think we can all agree on the fact that superheroes and the superhero genre is the most marketable form of entertainment in the world right now. We've got movies which, when combined together, weave cinematic universes, which spawn numerous spin-off series (TV shows and movies alike), which in turn give rise to video games and toys, among other forms of merchandise. As of late, however, the trend has gone on to dominate another emerging form of entertainment. I am of course, talking about anime, and the amazing series that is My Hero Academia.

How does Coco fit into the Pixar Theory? Last month, I wrote an article about the Pixar Theory, a theory created by Jon Negroni that states that all Pixar films take place in the same universe, as part of a very long story arc that is released out of chronological order.
Jonathan SimPublished 6 years ago in Geeks15 Binge-Worthy Anime To Watch This Weekend!
I’ve been watching anime for a few years now, and I’ve come to notice that I binge-watch A LOT. So is this normal? Yes, it is. However, let's first define this behavior that we do on the weekend: binge-watching is when you watch a series for a long time span, usually of a single series. Netflix, the provider of binge-watching, defines this marathon-watching when a person watches between two to six episodes of the same show in one sitting. So don’t make any plans this weekend, because here are 15 of the most binge-worthy anime out there.

Many of today’s most popular operas traditionally take place in locations considered exotic by Western culture: Verdi’s epic Aida takes place in Ancient Egypt. Puccini’s famous Turandot takes place in medieval China, and his Madame Butterfly in late nineteenth-century Japan.
Sophie de MerteuilPublished 6 years ago in GeeksThe Rebirth of Animation on Youtube
Animation and YouTube. The two have had a rocky history together. The ability to create and upload content on your own without any company interference should be the independent animator's dream. Yet this history has obstructed animation's reign on YouTube. Up until recently, when YouTube began to be reborn on the platform, but I'm getting ahead of myself. We must start at the beginning.

Laura Jaramillo DuquePublished 6 years ago in Geeks'Hamilton' Finally Comes to London
Earlier this month, I was lucky enough to go to the second preview of Hamilton which officially opened at the Victoria Palace theatre in London on 21 December. I had wanted to see Hamilton live since I first heard the soundtrack of the original Broadway cast a year and a half ago. I had never heard anything like it. The idea seemed strange — a hip hop musical about the founding father Alexander Hamilton — and yet it worked so well. It was innovative, daring, and brilliant. Every song was so strong and I longed to see it performed live on stage.

With all the evidence linking sports to permanent injuries and the political scandals surrounding certain athletes, modern audiences are less inclined to watch a bunch of sweaty people kick or throw a ball around for hours. Sports are becoming quite stale. We need athletes with exceptional talents, like the ones in movies and TV, in order to make sports fun again. These are seven fictional athletes that would make sports fun again.
