Smothered Centers Transgender Issue on People instead of Politics
Pronouns, gender neutral bathrooms and Title IX in the face of transgender athletes, the disagreements represent the latest episode in the red state, blue state culture wars. But as we hurl insults across the national divide, Smothered reminds us that the people caught in the middle have a beating heart. And as a consequence, the clarification can help center us where we should be - on those that are living the daily travails and struggling through. This instead of on us, and our need to be right.

The History of "Saved by the Bell" (Part II: Films and College Years)
Though Good Morning, Miss Bliss didn't last long--just a single season on the Disney Channel--NBC took the show, retooled it, and tinkered with the cast. As a result, Good Morning, Miss Bliss was transformed into the popular Saved by the Bell. The central cast included Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zack Morris), Mario Lopez (A.C. Slater), Dustin Diamond (Samuel "Screech" Powers), Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (Kelly Kapowski), Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie Spano), Lark Voorhies (Lisa Turtle), and Dennis Haskins (Principal Richard Belding). This was the group that was featured on the Saturday morning series for all four seasons, from the freshman year up to the graduation from Bayside High School.

The Dark World of Madoka Magica
This piece will contain mild spoilers for the 2011 animated Japanese show Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The year was 2021, and COVID-19 was running our everyday lives. (I’m currently writing this with COVID-19 this very second in our good year 2024–how ironic is that?)

My Review of "Bad Boys: Ride or Die"
Bad Boys: Ride or Die is an action movie that I didn't expect to see in 2024. The last movie came out in 2020 and I wasn't the biggest fan of it. Though it was adequate I didn't see them pursuing another sequel. Here we are four years later with another movie to their franchise. Good for them too because I heard this one did quite well. Though I had a lot of ups and downs with this movie.
