Gen V
Alright folks we have reached the end of the first season of Gen V. We know that this finale will lead pretty much right into the next season of The Boys that is prepped for a 2024 release. When we left off last episode there were a few vials of this supe killing virus left and it is now in the hands of a politician, so that’s gonna end well. These kids also all know what’s been going on and dean Sheddy is dead. Oh right, and also Polarity is in the hospital for an unknown reason. So there is kind of a lot to wrap up in this last episode and set up if there is to be a second season. So here we go with the Gen V season finale.

My Review of "Quiz Lady"
Quiz Lady is a very awkward comedy that recently came out. It normally would not be a movie that I'd like to explore but I do like the two leading ladies, Akwafina and Sandra Oh. I had to give this one a try at least, even though the whole idea didn't look that interesting to me.

My Review of "Gen V: Season 1"
Gen V: Season 1 has finally concluded on Amazon Prime. It's a off-shoot story in the same world as "The Boys". Don't worry you don't have to watch through "The Boys" to understand what's going on in this TV show. Although, it would help you a great deal if you did. If you're already a fan of "The Boys" tv series then you'll feel right at home with this one.

"Remember, Remember, the Fifth of November...". Top Story - November 2023.
"The State sanctifies its own violence as law. Yours it calls crime." Max Stirner I've quoted the above little observation by proto-anarchist and egoist Max Stirner, author of The Ego and What it Possesses, many, many times; perhaps too often, but there is no other way I could think to introduce an essay on Alan Moore's V for Vendetta, the most important graphic novel ever penned, a book so transcendent in its scope, so vast in its vision of humanity (both dark and light), it has become a piece of cultural iconography. The Guy Fawkes Face Mask is now an endemic, ubiquitous symbol of covert rebellion. Adopted by the Anonymous hacker group, it has gone the rounds of the internet and the face of the globe, a way for the most radical and dedicated and subversive elements of cultural fuckery to disguise themselves, as well as meld into one single "hive mind"; a collective unit pushing against repression and corruption; or, alternately, pushing the world forward past the edge of the envelope of nihilistic rebellion. V for Vendetta, more than any other single comic book creation I can think of (outside of Superman and Batman) has transcended the realm of mere entertainment into having a permanent place in the cultural zeitgeist.

My Review of "You're So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah"
You're So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah is an exclusive comedy streaming from Netflix. I have to be honest I didn't actually want to see this movie. There was a whole bunch of buzz from people telling me that it was a good movie and I had to give it a try. Thankfully they did because I was pleasantly surprised and truly felt joy while watching this movie.

My Review of "Game of Thrones: Season 4"
Game of Thrones: Season 4 aired back in 2014 and it has to be my favorite season of the whole series. There's just so much that happens in this season compared to the rest of the other seasons. Of course this over ambition could be a bad thing but they pulled everything off in a very comprehensive and cohesive manner. If you've been following the show for this long you will be floored at how good this season is because the previous seasons were just getting better and better.

“Midsommar”: Unraveling the True Villains in the Sun-Drenched Nightmare. Content Warning.
**NOTE: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS** Ari Aster's Midsommar is a fever dream of horror and dark psychological exploration, set against the backdrop of a sun-drenched Swedish commune. While the film is filled with ritualistic ceremonies and unsettling imagery, its true horror lies in the twisted dynamics and motivations of its characters. In this thought-provoking review, we'll peel back the layers to uncover the true villains of the story.

My Review of "Jack Reacher: Never Go Back"
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is the sequel to the 2012 movie Jack Reacher. It came out only 3 years after that movie so you can tell that the first movie was pretty well received. Unfortunately the same can not be said for this movie. Although the first movie was a bit formulaic this one goes over and beyond in the formulaic tropes of action movies.
